No two personal injury attorneys offer the same experience. Picking the right attorney for your case often means the difference between a fair settlement and settling for less.
These are things to consider when choosing a personal injury attorney in New York:
**Willingness to go to trial.** Most personal injury disputes resolve before trial. But, insurance companies are aware of the attorneys will actually to litigate in court — and those firms receive better numbers as a result. A lawyer who has rarely seen the inside of a courtroom may not command the same results from insurance carriers.
**Understanding of your jurisdiction.** New York personal injury practice can differ from county to county. Lawyers who regularly practice in Saratoga County, Albany County, or Warren County will understand local procedures, judge preferences, and common timelines.
**Responsiveness.** Your legal team should communicate regularly during your case. Determine before you retain them: what team member will handle your regular communications? Are you dealing with the attorney directly or staff members?
**How they charge.** The vast majority of personal injury lawyers in New York operate under a no-win-no-fee model — so you pay nothing unless they recovers compensation for you. Confirm you have asked about what percentage they take and any additional costs before signing.
