Questions to Ask Your New York Personal Injury Lawyer

• What kind of personal injury cases do you handle?

Some big firms handle matters ranging from dog bites to medical malpractice to insurance bad faith to product liability matters. Others focus more specifically on a few key domains of injury law. Choose an attorney that has significant experience representing claims like yours.

• How do your clients typically pay?

Your prospective New York personal injury attorney will likely charge you fees on contingency -- that is, if he or she wins your case or gets you a settlement, you pay a percentage of your award. But in certain cases (e.g. small cases or "long shot" claims), you may be asked to pay a flat fee upfront to retain counsel. Make sure you understand the fee arrangement before signing any agreements with an attorney.

• How current are you with respect to applicable case law?

Ideally, your New York personal injury lawyer should boast a commanding knowledge of recent and relevant state cases. They should be well-versed in the laws that relate to your case.

• Will you be the primary lawyer, or will someone else be dealing with day-to-day client management?

If your attorney gets too busy, he or she may seek to pass your case off to another lawyer or associate within the firm.

• Do you belong to any professional organizations? Do you have any awards or distinctions in the field?

Your attorney should be up to speed with his or her membership in the New York State Bar as well as the New York Trial Lawyers Association.

• What is your win-loss record, and what have been your most impressive settlements?

Give the prospective attorney a chance to boast about his or her services, but be sure to fact-check and follow up with references.

• Are there any blemishes on your record? Have you been cited for any disciplinary problems or ethical violations?

Your attorney is obligated to disclose any ethical lapses. It is important to consider these past mistakes as you compare attorneys.

• What percentage of your cases go to trial versus settle in the pre-trial stage?

While these figures won't predict how your case will turn out, you should find out as many specifics about the attorney's record as possible. It is important to hire an attorney that has the ability to represent you in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
