Choosing the right attorney in New York City after getting injured in an accident can be difficult. Having the right attorney representing you can be the difference in winning and losing and obtaining the full money damages that you deserve. There are many factors that you should consider when looking to hire an attorney to handle your personal injury claim. Some common factors that you should take into consideration during the selection process include:
- Experience:-You can gauge how an attorney will handle your claim by looking at how much experience he has in having handled similar cases. The more experience he has, the more likely he will be in successfully handling your case.
- Focus of legal practice:-The focus of an attorney’s legal practice can make a big difference in the success rate of your case. It takes unique skills to properly handle a personal injury claim and obtain the full compensation that you deserve. Approximately 90% of personal injury claims are settled prior to trial. As such, it is important that you hire an attorney who knows how to negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement.
- Reputation:- An attorney’s reputation is important both with regard to their clients and to other attorneys and judges in the legal field. For example, if an attorney does not have a good reputation with the adjusters, he may have a difficult time negotiating the compensation that you deserve.
- Personality:- One of the most overlooked factors in choosing the right personal injury attorney is personality. Although you may not be discussing your case over dinner with your attorney, the last thing you need when injured is a lawyer who will not give you the attention that you need and deserve. Personal injury claims may take months or even years to come to resolution. As such, it is important to hire an attorney that you like and feel comfortable with.
- Objectivity:- An objective attorney is more likely to help you make the right decisions when it comes to taking offers from the defense. You do not want an attorney who is looking to settle your case quickly so he can get his own fees or move on to the next client.
As you go through the attorney selection process, it is important that you are not rushed and that you take your time to choose the right attorney. The legal team at Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. offers free consultations to help you make the right decision in choosing the right attorney.
