Most people have never been in a car accident. Even fewer have been hurt in one, and even less have been in a severe wreck with major injuries. That’s good.

But that can make it hard to pick a good lawyer you can trust if you have been hurt in a car wreck. Everyone you know can tell you about a good restaurant, hardware store, or movie theater. But not many people have personal experience with lawyers.

What do you need to know to pick a good lawyer?  Here are some tips:

  1. Be careful if they are SUPER-excited to sign up your case: some lawyers will sign any case to make a fee, even if it’s not in the client’s best interests;
  2. Be careful if they don’t have an office or a network of lawyers in the state where you were hurt: the laws of that state will control what happens in your case;
  3. Ask if they have tried cases in front of juries: if not, insurance adjusters simply won’t take them as seriously as they do lawyers that try cases;
  4. Ask if they’ve been rated by their peers or judges for their legal ability and honesty; if not, they probably haven’t been around very long, and may not have the experience you need.
