Long Island Personal Injury Lawyer
With so many personal injury lawyers on Long Island, how do you know that you are choosing the right one to represent you? Some of the things you will want to look for when selecting a personal injury lawyer on Long Island include:
They Understand Your Claim
Personal injuries occur in a variety of ways. The laws that apply in a premises liability claim differ from the ones in a product defect claim. Car accident claims and wrongful death claims have their own laws, as well. For this reason, you need to choose an attorney who has experience handling a number of personal injury files, including files similar to yours. You can ask them about similar claims during your initial consultation, or search their website for settlements or verdicts in a similar case if available.
They Have a Track Record of Negotiating Fair Settlements
In most cases, personal injury claims settle out of court, with the injured party’s attorney negotiating a settlement with the insurance company. For that reason, it is paramount you choose a lawyer who can calculate a fair settlement amount and negotiate based on this amount. An attorney who is not a good negotiator may leave a lot of money on the table.
But They Are Not Afraid to Go to Trial
While negotiations are important, you also need an attorney who is not afraid to take a case to trial. Sometimes, it is impossible to settle a claim out of court. If this happens in your situation, you will want someone with plenty of courtroom experience on your side.
They Offer Personal Attention
One of the most important roles a personal injury attorney plays is in providing guidance and support to struggling, stressed out clients. You want an attorney who takes the time to listen to your concerns and to address all your questions. Your lawyer should help reduce your stress and make the time to explain the entire claims process, so you know what to expect.
