Look for an experienced lawyer. While there are a lot of personal injury lawyers, not all of them are experienced. Personal injury law is extremely complicated, and an inexperienced lawyer may not be able to get you the outcome that you deserve. Look into past cases that they have handled to see if they were able to secure a substantial monetary settlement.
Make sure you ask the right questions if you talk to a personal injury lawyer. Make sure the attorney has experience in personal injury cases and is qualified in your state. Ask what kind of record the lawyer has. You want a successful lawyer, of course, and one who has years of experience.

Never leave the scene of an accident, even if you feel that you were not at fault. Many times this is seen as guilt and you may be forced to pay for injuries that were not really your fault. Only leave after an officer has told you that it is okay to do so.
When you are looking for an attorney to represent you when you are injured, find one who will take your case on a contingency basis. This means he will collect no fees from you unless you win a monetary award from your case. This will alleviate you from paying the lawyer if you do not win.
Flashy ads do not signal a great lawyer. Instead, they show you the lawyer is either desperate for clients or charges so much that they can afford these commercials or print ads. Consider instead a lawyer who spends their time working on cases instead of working on marketing schemes and filming tv spots.
It can be very depressing to be involved in the midst of a personal injury case, so doing whatever you can to ease the burden is important. Take the time to build a strong case and gather as much evidence as possible to improve your chances of winning your case. Knowledge is power!
