Personal injury cannot be neglected because it can lead to temporary and permanent disability. Personal injury often happens due to the negligence of other party. Dog bites, slip, and fall, broken pathways, poor quality of the machine, or excessive workload are few of the personal injury examples which are often taken to court for compensation. 

There are thousands of cases on personal injury pending in courts. If your lawyer is inefficient, then the same will happen with your case. Thus, you need an efficient and experienced lawyer to win the case with maximum benefits. Not all attorneys can handle all types of cases. Every lawyer is trained for special types of cases. A criminal lawyer cannot work on a divorce case. Similarly, a personal injury situation has to be handled by a personal injury advocate.

You should be comfortable with your lawyer because you will be covering with him or her until the end. Don’t stick to just one attorney, but interrogate at least two or three attorneys. Here are few questions that you would like to ask them to find the potential lawyer –

• You should find out the area or field in which they specialize. As mentioned above not all lawyers can handle all kinds of cases, therefore looking for the right lawyer will be our first step. 
• Take references from the attorney’s office of similar cases, remember most offices only provide win-win references, and you need to do some research as well. Check with those references (at least 5) to find the way of handling cases and the outcome of every case. 
• When an attorney has many cases to handle at one time, then it is likely that he or she will be divided into all sorts of work, and this means your case will become another normal case for them. We need a lawyer who isn’t handling any other case at that time so that they can solely concentrate on our case. 
• When you have all documents ready and arranged, which will include medical bills, etc. then you can ask the tenure of the legal matter. Sometimes, if the lawyer is inefficient, then even a small and easy case can be prolonged for days, thereby harassing everyone. 
• Most lawyers believe in contingency fee, this means they will take their fees only after proper recovery of the client, and this fee can be 20 percent or 40 percent of compensation. If your advocate charges you for every visit and hours, then it can become quite expensive. 
• Every lawyer should take the case for trial. Your lawyer shouldn’t suggest you settle after just one or two trials. Settlements and negotiations are always in favor of the other party. 

Thus, choosing an appropriate legal representative is an important thing. Think wisely, don’t rush, seek help from friends and family.
