Experience, focus, and reputation are the most important qualities to look for in a personal injury attorney. An experienced attorney who focuses solely on personal injury cases and has a good reputation will be more successful handling a claim. It is also important the attorney remains objective when evaluating the facts of a case without allowing biases or feelings to distort their view. Personality is an overlooked but important trait to ensure a good relationship between attorney and client.

Experience: Experience is perhaps the most important quality
to look for in a personal injury lawyer. Hiring an experienced
personal injury attorney, particularly one that has handled
similar cases to yours, is vital to the success of your claim.
Focus: Similar to experience, your attorney’s practice focus is
key to your case’s success. For example, you wouldn’t hire a
criminal defense attorney to file a personal injury claim on
your behalf.
Reputation: A personal injury lawyer that has a good
reputation among other attorneys, among the insurance
companies and their adjusters, as well as with the courts, will
likely be more successful in handling your claim.
Objectivity: A good personal injury attorney knows how to
deal with the facts or conditions of a case without allowing
the facts to become distorted by prejudices, personal
feelings, or interpretations.
Personality: When choosing a personal injury attorney,
personality is an often overlooked characteristic.
