Most lawyers are general practitioners who handle a wide variety of cases. If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer in Illinois, we recommend that you find a lawyer who handles nothing but injury cases all day every day. Personal injury is a specialized practice and you want to hire an attorney with a proven track record of success with the issues in your case. For more information on hiring the right personal injury attorney please read on.

Choosing a personal injury lawyer with experience and knowledge in the area of your injury gives you the best chance of a good result on your case. Although it doesn’t guarantee an outcome, this ensures that the right person will handle your case.

When looking for a personal injury lawyer, make sure he or she is part of a firm that has the financial ability to front the significant costs associated with a personal injury case without asking for money from the client. Some cases involving major injuries or disputed liability can have expenses in the five figures. Catastrophic damage cases can run in to the six figures. You don’t want to hire a firm that needs you to cover some of these expenses.

You also want to make sure that your personal injury lawyer is part of a firm that has a good reputation by insurance companies of being willing to take a case to trial if needed and not selling out their client for a quick buck. If the insurance adjuster respects your attorney’s work it will make the case much smoother.

It is very important that your personal injury lawyer can communicate well with you. You are the client, and the lawyer should take or promptly return your calls, emails, or to meet you in person. Your attorney should always keep you updated on any changes or major developments in your case. If your attorney is so swamped that he or she doesn’t have time to respond to your correspondence in a timely manner, then it may be time to seek other representation.

A good lawyer, no matter what area of law he or she focuses in, treats their client with the utmost respect and courtesy. Your personal injury lawyer should consider the best needs of the client when making any decision or recommendation.

You should remember that the right lawyer for your co-worker or cousin might not be the right fit for you. Ask any attorney you interview how much experience they have had with similar cases. This is especially true with unique cases like sexual abuse, injuries that occur while on a farm, accidents while a passenger on a snow mobile or a case from being involved in a crash with a semi truck.

These are just some of the traits that we look for before we recommend an Illinois personal injury attorney or law firm. There is no such thing as the best personal injury lawyer, but rather we try to help you locate the best Illinois attorney for your needs. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like a referral to an experienced Illinois personal injury attorney.
