Although you may not want to take on the additional responsibility of hiring a qualified attorney to represent you in your brain injury case, it’s an important task that can impact your lifestyle for years to come.

Brain injuries are a highly-specialized category of personal injury; you should seek an attorney with experience in developing cases involving brain injuries resulting from accidents or negligence. These are a few things you should look for when selecting a brain injury lawyer:

• Most personal injury attorneys are paid a percentage of what you recover in your case. Make sure the attorney you select gets paid this way too.
• Look at the attorney’s trial experience. Has he successfully tried cases similar to yours?
• How many brain injury cases has this lawyer handled? Ask the attorney some questions specific to the needs of brain injury victims.
• Law firms that handle head injury cases need the financial resources to properly prepare for a case of this kind. Is the firm financially healthy and does it have relationships with the type of expert witnesses you need to pursue your case?
• Ask the attorney if she can give you examples of referrals she’s received from physicians, claims adjustors, and other attorneys.
• Check the State Bar of Georgia web site to see if this attorney has recently faced disciplinary action. (www.gabar.org)
• Is this attorney willing to give you the names of a few clients who’ve had similar cases?
• After hearing an overview of your situation, what does the attorney think are your case strengths and weaknesses?
• What type of community organizations does the attorney support? (This often gives additional insight into the lawyer’s personal and professional interests?

Your participation in the development of your case also is very important. When interviewing personal injury attorneys with experience in brain trauma, you should be prepared to provide them with:

• Copies of relevant medical records.
• Contact information from others involved in the accident or event.
• Details about new developments as they occur.
• Recollections you have about the traumatic event (as your memory returns).
• Expectations you have about how your case should proceed.

Above all, you must be honest with your brain injury attorney so he can represent you as successfully as possible. You and your attorney should communicate regularly and be sure that you’re in mutual understanding of your case’s status.

Brain injury legal cases are complex and require great care and significant resources. Make sure that the Georgia law firm that you select has attorneys with experience in head injury cases like yours.
