Journey Through Real Estate Law

If you were out and about doing your errands and fell down because the store didn't take all due diligence in cleaning up a mess, you are probably due some money from them to pay for your medical bills. However, if the store doesn't want to pay for your injuries and medical costs, you may need to go to a personal injury lawyer so that the lawyer can force them to give you what you deserve. But, how are you supposed to choose the right lawyer for you?  

Experience

There are a lot of lawyers out there. Not all of them specialize in personal injury law or have the experience to handle your case. You want to find a personal injury lawyer that handles a lot of cases. Not only that, you want for them to have handled a lot of successful cases. When you go interview the injury lawyer, ask them about their success rate overall. You should also ask them how many other cases similar to yours they have handled and what the success rate is in cases that are similar to yours. Knowing how they have handled cases like your will make it easier for you to decide if they are the lawyer for you. 

Disciplinary Actions

Every lawyer has to follow the state's code of conduct. If there has been a complaint filed, the lawyer may have been called before a disciplinary board to answer for their actions. At that point, there are several things that could happen. Those include a temporary suspension, either short or long term, as well as stripping the lawyer of the right to practice law in your state. You should be able to find out if there has been a complaint against a certain lawyer filed with the state bar association, either through an accessible online database or by contacting the state bar association directly. You can see what the complaint was and what happened after it. You do need to be aware of the fact that there was a complaint filed against a particular lawyer doesn't mean that that lawyer isn't the one for you. There are a lot of reasons why someone may file a baseless complaint, such as the complainant thinking the lawyer should've won their case and didn't. 

If you were hurt through no fault of your own, you likely deserve to have your medical costs covered and money for your pain and injury.  A personal injury lawyer (such as Jack W Hanemann, P.S.) can help you get that.
