A good personal injury lawyer will be able to evaluate your claim and go over all the details with you. Many attorneys will take “big” injury cases, but they do not practice only injury law.
Handling serious injury cases can be very complex. If a lawyer does not understand the ins and outs of personal injury law, then he or she will not know all the ins and outs of handling your claim. Each settlement is different and in large part based on your attorney’s skill.
