How to Choose a Personal Injury Attorney

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

If you have been seriously injured in an accident or by a negligent medical professional, your first step in choosing a personal injury attorney should be to do some careful research. You will probably find dozens of personal injury lawyers in your local area, but not all of them will be equally equipped to successfully represent you.

Take the time to schedule personal consultations to speak with them. These consultations should be free, and are designed to give you a better picture of who the lawyer is and how they can help you.

A good personal injury attorney should:

• Put you at ease
• Have experience in your case’s specific practice area
• Ask detailed questions as to what happened and your injuries
• Be honest about whether or not they think you have a case
• Be accessible to you at all times while they are working on your case
• Work on an contingency fee basis where permitted

Above all, you need to feel that you can trust your attorney, and that they have your best interests in mind. Experienced Phoenix personal injury attorney Jerrold Mayro has been seeking justice for personal injury victims for over 30 years.  We feel personally involved in every case we take on, and dedicated to telling your story in a way that can help you obtain the best settlement possible.

If you have been injured because of another person’s negligence, contact us today to set up a free initial consultation. The Mayro Law Firm represents personal injury victims throughout the Phoenix, Arizona area.

How Are Personal Injury Claims Evaluated?

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

Each personal injury claim comes with its own unique set of circumstances. An experienced personal injury lawyer will take several different factors into account when determining the value of your claim. This can take time, since many influential details may not become apparent until a full investigation has taken place.

Two of the most significant factors that will influence the value of your personal injury claim are:

• The extent of the damage or injury – Your medical bills, the frequency and length of your treatment, and whether you have temporary or permanent impairment will all be examined to determine the extent of your losses.
• Who was at fault – More than one party may be at fault for an accident. Deciding which parties can be held responsible (and how much fault is assigned to each party) is one of the most important aspects of your claim.

If an insurance company still refuses to offer you a reasonable settlement – despite investigations, correspondence, and filing papers in court – your case may need to go to trial.  Phoenix personal injury trial lawyer Jerrold Mayro has the experience pursuing all types of personal injury claims. The Mayro Law Firm is fully prepared to pursue your case as far as it needs to go to fight for fair compensation.

If you or a loved one has been injured because of another person’s negligence in Arizona, please contact The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule your free attorney consultation.
