Top Injury Attorneys
by State
While many states have similar personal injury laws to one another, each state’s laws are specific to that state. To defend an injury victim in court, an attorney has to be licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction where the injury occured. Because of this, for most people, the first step to finding a top attorney is to find one who specializes in their particular kind of injury, in the state where their injury occurred.
by Injury
In addition to needing a lawyer that is licensed to represent you, depending on your particular circumstances, there’s a good chance you will want to get a lawyer who is experienced with successfully defending victims of similarly caused injuries. While both a car accident victim and a victim of medical malpractice can both be anywhere from mildly to horrifically injured, an attorney who is experienced with the laws involved in car accidents, previous car accident cases, and car insurance companies, etc., is likely to be the better attorney to represent a car accident victim over one whose primary experience is with defending medical malpractice victims.
by Firm Size
The needs for your particular injury case will differentiate which attorneys are more likely to be the better attorney or law firm but so does your personality, and things other than an attorney’s area of expertise. Where you live will partially determine whether you have much choice when it comes to looking for the top injury attorney for your case but if you do, one of many things to consider is the size of potential law firms. While no two law offices are the same, larger law firms offer many benefits over smaller ones but many people feel like larger law firms are less personal- and would prefer to have more direct contact with their lawyer than what a client typically gets in the larger law firms. For some people, the top attorney for their case will be at a large law firm with many experienced lawyers and extensive resources.
