|
lawyer who assisted you with your house purchase is likely not |
|
the best lawyer to take on your injury claim. Some suggestions |
|
to help you make the best decision: |

|
Physicians, hospital social workers, psychologists, and related |
|
health care professionals can provide names of reputable lawyers |
|
who have extensive experience with personal injury cases. Ask |
|
them why they feel comfortable making their recommendations. |

|
Call the personal injury lawyers on your referral list. (Lawyers |
|
rarely charge for an initial call.) Have basic information handy |
|
such as the date of accident, names of people involved, and |
|
severity of the injury. |

|
Ask the personal injury lawyers about their experience handling |
|
an injury claim like yours, including how many times they've |
|
settled or have gone to trial and how successful they've been. |
|
Ask what associations they are affiliated with such as: The |
|
Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and The Advocates' Society. |

|
If a personal injury lawyer is unable to address all your |
|
questions during the first call and must call you back, expect a |
|
timely reply. Remember, a good personal injury lawyer will speak |
|
with you openly and in clear, understandable language. |

|
Interviewing prospective personal injury lawyers will help you |
|
gather more information about their practices. Most personal |
|
injury lawyers will not charge for an initial meeting. A |
|
face-to-face conversation is also an excellent way to get a |
|
sense of how it will feel working closely with each individual. |

Understanding - The personal injury lawyer should have a clear |
|
sense of the physical, psychological, cognitive and social |
|
implications of personal injuries - not just how to handle a |
|
lawsuit. |
