On Behalf of | Oct 29, 2022 | Personal Injury

Before you make an important decision, you usually do some homework. Therefore, when choosing representation for your injury case, you must do the same.

Unfortunately, most people with this type of case do not research enough and choose the wrong representation. Here are some of the best ways to approach this decision if you are a personal injury victim.

1. Ask people in the field

You probably have no idea how to tell if someone is good or not. Fortunately, you can use plenty of resources to look up some people. One of the best options is to get opinions from other personal injury professionals. In addition, you can use a few peer-review websites to look up the best professionals in Chicago. The most popular is the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Registry.

2. Get referrals

Another great option is to ask other local legal experts for referrals. If your representation receives a lot of referrals, they are probably good. After all, professionals in the field usually know who is good and who is not. The person handling your estate planning or a friend who handles divorces is an excellent place to start. They are bound to have colleagues who will take your case.

3. Rule off anyone who solicits

Many offices will obtain police reports of recent accidents. Then, they sort through them to find the names and addresses of the victims. With that, they can send you solicitation mail. You should rule off anyone who sends these to you since they focus on quantity over quality.

The bottom line is that you should not choose your representation from advertisements alone. These people tend to have a high-volume approach and do not fight for you. Instead, look for someone experienced who will put the time into your case.
