What To Consider Before Hiring A Personal Injury Attorney in Florida

When looking for a personal injury attorney, it’s important to remember that you’re entrusting someone with representing your interests. Not all lawyers specialize in personal injury cases and their qualifications and experience can vary greatly. When searching for an attorney, it’s important to consider the following points recommended by The Ruth Law Team in St. Petersburg – a trusted injury attorney throughout Florida:

Convenience Of Access

It is important for a law firm to provide convenience and ease for their clients, particularly for cases involving serious injuries. Our law firm offers the service of meeting clients at their home or hospital to sign any necessary documents and address any questions they may have. Our aim is to alleviate any added stress during this difficult time and allow clients to focus on their recovery.

Trial Experience Of The Firm

Trial experience absolutely matters when handling Florida personal injury cases. In fact, our lead trial attorney, Eric Roslansky, is a Board Certified Specialist in Civil Trial Law. Fewer than 7% of eligible Florida Bar lawyers are Board Certified in a specialty area.

Insurance companies are fully aware of which firms are experienced and ready to take a case to trial and which ones are clearly not. They’re aware that if they don’t offer a fair settlement, we aren’t afraid to litigate a case. Our attorneys are known in the courtroom, and our case results speak for themselves.

Practice Areas

Choosing a lawyer who specializes in personal injury cases may be more beneficial than one who handles various types of cases. Firms that solely focus on personal injury cases have a deeper understanding of the specific laws and regulations, as well as the best strategies for handling such cases. This means that they can provide you with better representation and increase the chances of a successful outcome.

Fee Structure For Services

Most injury lawyers in Florida work on a contingency-fee bases. This means clients pay no upfront costs, and we do not send bills to you in the mail. In fact, there are no costs or fees to you unless the case is won. Once our firm makes a financial recovery on your behalf, our fee is a portion of that recovered amount.

Overall Credentials

Selecting a personal injury attorney is a critical decision, and it is essential to inquire about their experience, awards, board certifications, case results, and other credentials. A competent attorney should be willing to explain why they are qualified to handle your case. Additionally, the lawyer should be able to provide reviews from satisfied clients (with their consent) for you to review. You can read the reviews from our clients to see what they have to say about us.
