Selecting An Injury Lawyer

By Sheri Callihan


Whether you have recently been hurt in a car or truck accident, burned or injured by chemical exposure, hurt on a construction site, or simply frustrated by an insurance company that has refused to pay benefits that are owed to you, a personal injury lawyer can help! The aim of this article is to help you understand how to select the best one.

An accident or injury lawyer should be more than just "competent." The legal team that you select to represent you should be "remarkable". The Columbia injury attorney you ultimately choose, should provide you with plenty of resources to help cope with all aspects of your case, answer your questions, prepare adequately for a trial, try your case (if need be) and always be prepared to argue intelligently on your behalf.

A remarkable law firm works daily to exceed your expectations. They will work to get you compensation to cover damages you have suffered, which may include but are not limited to, medical and surgical costs, lost work time (wages), anxiety, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, mileage and many out of pocket costs that you may face. Remarkable means following up with clients promptly. It means cultivating a reputation for being tough but fair, savvy and compassionate. A good law firm will make sure the clients feel comfortable, but at the same time, they need to send a message, loud and clear, to insurance companies and liable parties that they mean business. They are constantly building and using their credentials for the benefit of the clients.

Often times there is a kind of shock after a traumatic event and Injury and accident victims do not always act swiftly enough in these cases. When a horrific event changes everything in their world, it is only human nature to "wait a little while" to get your bearing before moving forward, but this is the wrong approach. Here's the reason why: Evidence from the accident or injury may get lost or even be destroyed in the hours and days after the accident. The witness recollections will grow hazier and less accurate as time passes after the accident. Even your own blessed memory of the event will give way to hazier inaccurate memories. And on top of that, if you wait too long after the accident or injury, you may lose your ability to make a claim altogether, even if you have compelling evidence on your side, due to the "statute of limitations" in that state.

Every personal injury case is different. Choose a Columbia personal injury lawyer, that will give you the professional attention you need to prosecute your case. Make sure they listen to what you want and need and help you feel calm, comfortable, and taken care of throughout your case. Most injury law firms takes cases on a contingency basis. This means that the clients do not pay, until they win a trial verdict or reach a settlement.
