Although every case is different, you want a lawyer who works exclusively on personal injury claims. However, not all personal injury lawyers are created equal.
There are many sub-categories that fall under the umbrella of personal injury law (e.g., car accidents, workers’ compensation, slip, and fall accidents, dog bites, defective products, etc.). Some lawyers narrow their focus down to one particular field of personal injury law, and you want one who handles cases like yours. For example, if you were hurt by a defective product, you probably don’t want to hire an attorney who dedicates most of his or her practice to helping injured workers.
