Have you been involved in an accident and need to hire a Fairfax personal injury attorney to help you sue for damages? Have you never hired an attorney before, so are a little apprehensive about doing so?

 

If so, here are a few tips to help you hire the right Fairfax personal injury attorney for your case and to maximize your chances of winning.

 

Look for experience -- The most important thing when hiring a fairfax personal injury attorney is to find one with many years of experience. With experience comes expertise, with the longer a lawyer has been practicing personal injury law the more chances there usually are of him winning more cases.

 

Find someone with years of experience in the field and you will find someone who understands the system and can fight for your rights.

 

Interview attorneys -- Once you have found a few Fairfax personal injury attorneys that you like, make appointments for free consultations and interview each of them.

 

Ask questions about their experience, how they would treat your case, what they think the likelihood of you winning is and what kind of damages they would be asking for?

 

Find out about win to lose ratio -- Be sure to also ask each lawyer about their own win to lose ratio, as this will give you an idea about how aggressive they are as well as how good they are at their job.

 

Choose an attorney that has a high record of wins over loses, and that has the experience you need.

 

Fees -- Finally, you do want to be sure you get estimates of total fees as well as how long each attorney thinks your case will take to come to completion.

 

Only then can you make an educated decision.
