subject: How To Find A Good Lawyer For Injury Or Medical Malpractice [print this page] If you have been unjustly injured or are suffering due to medical malpractice, the first step in reclaiming your rights is to find a good attorney. Your best bet is to find a lawyer who specializes in personal injury or medical malpractice. Finding a lawyer who is a friend, but who specializes in another branch of law, is not likely to result in as good an outcome as finding an attorney who is a local Chicago injury attorney, a medical malpractice attorney, or a personal injury attorney The tricky thing is that the best malpractice and injury lawyers stay busy and might not be as promptly available or as likely to advertise in local listings.
So, how do you find a good attorney in Chicago who specializes in personal injury and/or medical malpractice? There's more to it than skimming the yellow pages for an office nearby. Here are some tips to help you on your search.
How to find a Good Lawyer for Injury or Medical Malpractice
1)Ask for recommendations from friends and work associates for good attorneys, preferably ones specializing in personal injury or malpractice. Check to see if anyone in your network is connected to a malpractice lawyer (such as Linked In, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Try asking for referrals on your blog or other social networking page. You might get something. You may think, hey, I know that my friends have never had similar situations; all they've used is a divorce lawyer. But, you never know. Your best friend's mother may have gone through a similar lawsuit recently, so go ahead and ask around. It can't hurt.
2)Search the World Wide Web for information on local attorneys. Check out articles on their websites for helpful information, and to check to see if they really know their stuff. Chances are, you can find some good attorneys based on Internet research and some background checking, although it's always a good idea to find a personal recommendation of someone if you can.
3)Check out the "About Us" info on an attorney's website. You can usually find good biographical information here about the schools an attorney is affiliated with, as well as information regarding the type of cases they specialize in, the locations they serve (and how long they have been in your area), and associations the attorney is affiliated with. Check to see if an attorney is a member of specialized personal injury or malpractice trial lawyers' associations, such as the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA), or the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA).
