Do Your Research

The first step in finding the right personal injury lawyer is to do your research. Not all law firms are created equal and not all lawyers have the same qualifications or experience. When you're looking for a law firm to take your case, be sure to ask about their experience with similar cases, their success rate, and what kind of resources they have. On top of that, take a look at the attorneys that work at the office.

Look at Their Track Record

When you're looking at law firms, you'll want to look at their track record. How many cases have they won? What is the average settlement amount for their clients? Are they known for going to trial or settling out of court? All of these factors can play a role in the outcome of your case.

Choose a Lawyer With Experience in Your Type of Case

There are many different types of personal injury cases, from car accidents to slip and fall accidents. You'll want to make sure you choose a lawyer who has experience with your type of personal injury. 

At The Law Offices of Kenneth G. Egan, we can help with a variety of personal injury situations, including: 

  • Auto Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents
  • Dog Bites & Attacks
  • Drowning Accidents
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Negligent Security
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Semi-Truck Accidents
  • Wrongful Death
  • Insurance Breach of Contract
  • Insurance Bad Faith

See If They're Contingent

At The Law Offices of Kenneth G. Egan, we don't get paid until you do. That's because we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we don't receive any payment unless we win your case. This arrangement is beneficial for two reasons: 

First, you're not out any money if we don't win your case. Second, it is an incentive for us to get you the best possible settlement or verdict because our payment is contingent on that. 

The benefit of this is that many personal injury attorneys will only get paid if they win, so if they're willing to take your case, they think they can win.

Get a Referral

One of the best ways to find a personal injury law firm is to get a referral from someone you trust. This could be a family member, friend, or coworker who has worked with a personal injury lawyer in the past. If they had a positive experience, chances are you will too.

When it comes to personal injuries, you want to find a team that's willing to put the law to work. We hope that these tips make it easier for you to find the right personal injury lawyer.
