How to Find a Good Personal Injury Attorney in the Baton Rouge Area

If you’re in the unfortunate situation of having had a personal injury that was the direct result of negligence from another party, then you may need to locate a local Baton Rouge attorney to help you with any legal proceedings you might choose to undertake.

As with choosing any professional & reputable service provider, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when selecting the personal injury attorney that will work best for your needs.

Here are a few key considerations:

General Experience – One should always look for someone who has experience representing injured persons (called “plaintiffs”) in personal injury claims — and one with whom you feel that you can trust.

References & Referrals – One should always look for multiple reference sources, including talking to friends and acquaintances, checking the NOLO.com lawyer directory, and/or talking with other attorneys that you currently have relationships with, to recommend other attorneys with specific experience in personal injury type matters.

Settlement Goal – After you have discussed the facts of your case and the history of your negotiations with the insurance company, you may be able to get some sense from the lawyer about how much he or she thinks your case is worth, and how difficult it may be to get the insurance company to pay that amount.

This is when you should let the lawyer know which of the following you want him or her to do for you:

– Obtain a certain settlement amount for you with as few costs and as little hassle as possible.

– Obtain an amount higher than what the insurance company has offered as soon as possible.

– Obtain as much as possible, no matter how long it takes.

If you feel confident with the lawyer’s experience, and comfortable with his or her idea of how to proceed with your case, chances are good that you’ve found a lawyer you can work with.
