When you're injured in an accident, hiring the right personal injury attorney is one of the most important decisions you'll make.
Your lawyer can differentiate between a denied claim and a full financial recovery. But how do you know who to trust with so many firms to choose from in Arizona?
At Wesbrooks Law, we believe informed clients make the best decisions. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you choose the right personal injury attorney for your case.
1. Look for Arizona-Specific Experience
Not all states handle personal injury law the same way. Arizona has unique rules on comparative negligence, statutes of limitations, and damage recovery.
2. Evaluate Their Track Record
An attorney’s past results reflect their ability to navigate complex injury cases. While no attorney can guarantee results, a strong history of settlements and trial victories is a good sign.
- Settlements and verdicts in cases similar to yours
- Experience negotiating with insurance companies
- A proven approach to complex or contested claims
3. Ask About Their Trial Experience
While many injury cases settle out of court, not all do. If your case goes to trial, you’ll need a confident and capable attorney in the courtroom.
- How often do you take cases to trial?
- What is your approach if the case does not settle?
- Are you prepared to advocate for me before a judge or jury?
4. Understand Their Fee Structure
Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee—you don’t pay unless they win your case. However, it’s essential to understand how this structure works.
- What percentage will the attorney take from your settlement?
- Are court costs and expenses included or billed separately?
- What happens if the case is dropped or withdrawn?
5. Look for Clear Communication and Responsiveness
You deserve an attorney who listens carefully, communicates clearly, and keeps you informed throughout your case.
- Do they explain things in a way you understand?
- Are you able to reach them directly or only through staff?
- Do they respond to calls and emails promptly?
6. Read Reviews and Ask for Referrals
- Responsiveness and professionalism
- Outcome satisfaction
- Transparency and communication
7. Trust Your Instincts
You’ll be working closely with your attorney, so choosing someone you trust and feel comfortable with is essential. A reasonable attorney should make you feel supported, not pressured or confused.
