Answer: I had a client who was working in a large factory in South Augusta when he was injured at work. He injured his lower back and needed back surgery. He asked me, “How do I choose the best workers’ comp attorney for my case?” If you’re reading this, you may have similar questions. I’ll share with you what I shared with that client.
Go meet with the attorney in person. Find out that attorney’s experience. Ask whether that attorney has a core practice in personal injury and workers’ compensation. Ask how long that attorney has been representing injured workers. What kind of experience does the attorney have with workman’s compensation? What kind of results? What is the game plan for the case, and what kind of timeline does the attorney have for the case?
Also, it’s important to see what kind of success the attorney has. Look at the customer and client reviews on the internet. Look at the client reviews on Google, Avvo, Facebook and see what type of success and satisfaction past clients are reporting about this attorney. Also, look and see whether the attorney is rated by other attorneys. There are attorney rating services that let you see lawyer-to-lawyer reviews, such as Super Lawyers, 100 High Stakes Litigators, 100 Best Lawyers, and Martindale-Hubbell. Look and see what other attorneys are saying about this proposed attorney.
