How do I choose a Las Vegas Personal Injury and Car Accident Attorney?

Many people do not personally know a lawyer let alone a personal injury lawyer. Even if you do know a great lawyer, if they are not a personal injury lawyer, do not hire them for your Las Vegas personal injury case. The example I give to people, is that while you may know a wonderful brain surgeon, you would not want that doctor delivering your baby!

I know what you are thinking: How do I go about choosing a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer? The answer: Ask your prospective Las Vegas personal injury lawyer how many years have they been practicing in the field of personal injury. They may have a decade of experience, but if it is not in the personal injury and car accidents realm, do not hire them for your personal injury case.

Another very important question to ask is the number of Las Vegas personal injury cases they have handled. It may be great that they have been “doing” personal injury for 10 years, but if they have only handled 5 accident cases, you may not want them doing further experimentation on your case. In a related vein, you should ask your potential Las Vegas personal injury attorney, what percentage of their current practice is related to injury cases. You want an attorney whose law practice is one third to 100% personal injury. Next time, we will talk about other areas related to personal injury, but which are really separate areas of practice: medical malpractice and worker’s compensation cases.

Research also shows that impairment increases significantly when marijuana use is combined with alcohol. Studies have found that many drivers test positive for alcohol and THC, making it clear that drinking and drugged driving are often linked behaviors.” All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws ...
