If you have been seriously injured in an accident, you probably need to put your personal injury case in the hands of [b]experienced Anchorage lawyers [/b]. No matter how desperate you are, do not just turn to any lawyer for help. Look for someone with the relevant experience in handling your type of personal injury case and who you feel you can trust.

There are a number of ways to get referrals to experienced personal injury lawyers for plaintiffs. Before you choose a lawyer, shop around and compare. Comparisons can be done by getting the names of a number of lawyers and meeting with each of them to discuss your claim before you decide to hire one. One lawyer who deals specifically with personal injury matters stated, “don’t be surprised if some lawyers choose not to take on your case. Many lawyers do not take on cases that fall below a certain potential recovery amount or if it happens that the claim doesn’t seem straightforward to them, they may reject it”.

A common question people ask is where to get referrals. Below are some suggestions for how to find a trustworthy source for referrals:
• Friends and acquaintances – in the same manner in which you refer your colleagues to your dentist or doctor, is the same way that you can often get a referral to a good lawyer. Therefore, in order to get a referral, talk to friends or coworkers who have been represented by a lawyer in their own personal injury claims. Experts say, “if your friends or coworkers say good things about a lawyer and express how he or she handled his or her case, put the lawyer on your list of people to consult with, but do not commit yourself to the lawyer on the basis on someone else’s recommendations because different people will have different responses to a lawyer’s style and personality. Only make a decision once you have met the lawyer, discussed your case and decided whether or not you are comfortable with him or her”.
• Other lawyers – you can also seek referrals from other lawyers. Lawyers commonly refer cases to one another and those lawyers will likely know of someone else who handles personal injury cases for plaintiffs. Put the lawyer on your list of people to consult with, however, as noted above, you should not base your decision solely on someone else’s recommendations.
• Referral services – most lawyer attorney bar associations share referral services in which the names of lawyers are available and these names are arranged by the lawyer’s legal specialty. Some lawyer referral services carefully screen attorneys and provide a list of only those who have specific qualifications and a certain number of years of experience, while other lawyer referral services simply provide a list of any lawyer in good standing with the State Bar who maintains liability insurance. Similar, to the other two points, do not base your decision on recommendations made by someone else, ultimately the choice of who will represent you in your personal injury matter should lie with you.

Some factors you could use to choose a lawyer or law firm are:
• Years of experience
• Areas of expertise
• Track record of success
