Tips for Choosing an Injury Lawyer

Feb. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- If you have been injured in an accident, you may wonder what your legal rights are—and they can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the nature and location of the accident. Regardless of the circumstances, the most important thing to remember is to act quickly in order to preserve evidence and build a strong case. Here are a few tips to help you choose a Chicago Injury Lawyer quickly and efficiently.

Do Your Research

While you want to act fast, the worst thing you can do when looking for a lawyer is to haphazardly choose a firm out of the yellow pages. Instead, take a few minutes to look for a law firm that specializes in injury litigation. You can find a lot of information on the internet, including on the firm’s website, as well as unbiased reviews from people like you on third-party websites.

Meet in Person

Once you have narrowed your search down to a few different firms in the area, you should meet with the lawyers in person. Reputable law firms such as Shannon Law Group, PC (http://www.shannonlawgroup.com/) offer free, no-obligation consultations in personal injury cases. This is a chance not only for the attorneys to assess the merits of your case, but also for you to assess their knowledge and skills. Questions you may want to ask include:

What type of experience they have

What is their track record on cases like yours

What sort of strategy they envision

What is their fee structure

Follow Your Instincts

Probably the most important piece of advice to heed when choosing a Chicago injury lawyer is to follow your instincts. You want a lawyer that you have trust and confidence in to litigate your case.
