When you have been hurt, you need an advocate you can count on to provide legal representation that’s both compassionate and skillful. But how can you find the best personal injury lawyer in Florida?
This guide will help you understand what to look for as you search for an attorney who can help you navigate the civil justice system and get the compensation you deserve.
1. Make sure your attorney focuses on the right type of cases
Personal injury claims differ from other kinds of cases, and even within personal injury, there are different areas of focus, such as auto accidents, medical malpractice, or traumatic brain injury.
You want an attorney familiar with cases similar to yours, so your lawyer will know what legal arguments to make and will have a clear idea of what your case should be worth based on past precedent and the way the laws are applied.
Diaco Law has extensive experience in many types of personal injury claims, including plane accidents, incidents causing brain injury or other catastrophic injury, drowning accidents, nursing home abuse, slip and falls, car crash, bus accidents, and pedestrian accidents, medical malpractice, spinal cord injury claims, and more.
When you need an attorney who has the necessary knowledge to handle many kinds of personal injury claims, our firm can help.
2. Confirm your lawyer is licensed and in good standing
It’s critical that your attorney be licensed to practice law, as it’s unlawful to give legal advice without the right license. You’ll also want to make sure that your lawyer is in good standing with the Bar Association and has not had a history of complaints or license suspensions.
You can search for attorneys on the Florida Bar website to find out about their credentials. You can also see if your lawyer has won any awards or honors. For example, attorneys at Diaco Law have been recognized as Super Lawyers and listed among the Best Lawyers in the World’s Premier Guide.
3. Check past reviews, testimonials, and case results
The facts of your individual case determine what compensation will be available.
However, it’s still important to have an attorney who has a history of helping clients recover large settlements and court verdicts, as this can be an indicator that your lawyer is a skilled negotiator and litigator who can make sound legal arguments.
Diaco Law has recovered millions in many different types of cases, both in and out of court, including $6 million in a recent motorcycle accident claim, $3.6 million in a truck crash, and $5.4 million in a medical malpractice case.
Our firm has a proven track record of getting insurance companies to pay what’s truly owed, and of convincing a court to award clients full and fair compensation for all losses.
4. Schedule your free consultation
Finally, once you’ve found an attorney with the right credentials, the last and most important step is to schedule a free consultation.
During the consultation, pay attention to how your attorney answers your questions, whether they seem interested in your claim, and what type of case evaluation they offer. You’ll be working closely with your attorney throughout your case, and you need someone with both legal knowledge and compassion who you feel comfortable with.
