wf you have been physically injured due to someone else’s actions, the first step many victims and their loved ones are encouraged to take is to reach out to a qualified and compassionate personal injury attorney. After all, the last thing you want to do is represent yourself in court, negotiate with insurance companies, or navigate a variety of other complex legal processes on your own.
But with so many attorneys out there—some right down the road and others a bit farther away—who should you choose to stand in your corner and staunchly defend your rights to achieve the best possible outcome in your case?
While it may seem like any experienced attorney will do, hiring a local personal injury attorney can have a bigger impact than you think.
Skilled Personal Injury Representation At Your Fingertips
Can you hire a law office from another area? Perhaps. But here are five reasons why hiring a local personal injury attorney matters:
Personal interaction
Communicating by text, phone, and email is easy in today’s world, but being able to schedule the time to sit face-to-face with your personal injury attorney is a luxury few people consider until it is too late. Personal interactions provide immeasurable benefits and comfort during a time in your life when you are injured, possibly unable to work, and have to deal with a growing pile of unpaid medical bills. Personal, face-to-face interactions allow attorneys to see and talk to the people impacted by personal injury matters, hear their stories, and efficiently gather the necessary information to build a strong case.
Accessibility
To piggyback on the previous reason above, there is the convenience of quickly dropping off paperwork, picking up documents at your attorney’s office, having face-to-face meetings, or attending a hearing. This saves you time, opens the door to faster response times and a more efficiently run case, and makes communication much easier throughout the process.
They know local laws
Laws can vary from state to state and sometimes court to court. In other words, how some courts in California act on your case may not be the same as the laws in Texas. A local personal injury attorney knows the local and state laws and how they pertain to your specific case better than an out-of-state lawyer who is coming in to work on your case.
They know key decision-makers
There is a lot to be said for a personal injury lawyer who has developed close ties and solid working relationships with everyone from judges to court staff, police officers, opposing counsel, forensic specialists, and even nearby doctors, physical therapists, and medical experts who can provide care and expert testimony. These professional relationships can help anticipate how cases are typically handled and create more effective courtroom strategies.
Verifiable reputation
Working with a local personal injury attorney means they have worked on cases for some of your family, friends, colleagues, or acquaintances. Rather than read reviews from people you do not know on social media or the law firm’s website, you can ask someone directly about the firm’s reputation, the specific attorney, and how they operate.
