What percentage of your practice involves representing injured people?
You can get a general idea of your attorney’s commitment to personal injury victims by how they answer this question. For the most part, I believe that if at least half of an attorney’s practice is devoted to representing plaintiffs, they may have sufficient knowledge to represent you.
Also, keep in mind that lawyers who substantially work on a contingency fee basis are compelled to move their cases along to get paid. You would not want your case to be ignored while your lawyer is engaged in a divorce or real estate closing.
