If you’ve been seriously hurt or injured in an accident; or you’ve been denied long term disability benefits by your insurer, you will likely need to retain a lawyer.
But, not just any lawyer. You will need a personal injury lawyer. Here are some quick tips on what to look for when selecting a personal injury lawyer

Hiring a lawyer to handle your personal injury case is a serious matter that requires careful consideration. What kind of questions should you ask yourself and others in order to make an informed choice? How would you go about choosing one – especially if you’ve never needed one before?
It doesn’t matter that personal injury lawyers have a reputation for being predatory ambulance-chasers, more concerned with making a buck than with seeking justice; nor does it matter that this reputation is not entirely undeserved, even if it may get exaggerated by pop culture portrayals and the tasteless ways some injury lawyers choose to advertise their services. It is still a very bad policy idea to legally cap lawyers’ contingency fees at 15 per cent.
