Finding an Attorney for Your Florida Personal Injury Case

If you have been injured in a Florida car accident or have sustained an injury through someone’s negligence or carelessness, you will likely need a Florida personal injury attorney to advise you of your legal rights and to help you understand your options. If you have never worked with a Florida personal injury attorney before, the task of finding an attorney quickly can be daunting. However, working with an attorney is simpler than you may think. Personal injury attorneys in Florida understand the apprehension of clients and often work hard to provide good service. Here is what you can do to find the right attorney for you:

1) Consider what practice areas or areas of expertise your attorney will need to understand. If you were in a Florida trucking accident, for example, you will want to find a personal injury attorney with experience in these types of cases. If you have sustained a Florida spinal cord injury, you may wish to find an attorney who specializes in this type of case. Most Florida personal injury attorneys have websites listing their experience and their practice areas. This can be a good place to start.

2) Look for attorneys with a proven record of won cases. A good Florida personal injury attorney will not mind if you ask for – and check – references. Many attorneys also have lists of cases they have won in court.

3) Look for attorneys that meet your situation. Many attorneys will work with plaintiffs in cases but not with defendants, for example. If you have been injured, you will want to find a Florida personal injury attorney who represents plaintiffs.

4) Meet with a personal injury attorney. Ultimately, the best way to determine whether an attorney is one you want to work with is to meet with that attorney for an initial consultation. This gives you a chance to get information about your case and to learn what the attorney can do for you. An initial consultation is also a good way to gauge how comfortable you are with a specific attorney. You will be working with your attorney while your case works its way through the courts. That can take months or even years, so it is important to find an attorney you can work well with.

I had a lawyer on another case and I never spoke to the lawyer and I hated that I never knew what was going on in my case. Mr. Flaxman was in constant communication with me, explained everything to me, and his staff was really great too. My phone calls were always returned immediately. It was refreshing to be able to speak to my attorney personally. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Flaxman as an attorney to anyone who has been in an accident. Gloria
