Identifying the Best Toronto and York Region Personal Injury Lawyer

Most people, fortunately, will never need the services of a Ontario personal injury lawyer.  If you or a family member is hurt in an accident, however, you may need to consult with an Ontario personal injury lawyer.  During such times, you might not know where to begin.  You probably don't have the name of a qualified Ontario personal injury lawyer in your area. The stress of the injury, health care, and financial challenges may be overwhelming.  Finding a lawyer that will work hard for you should not add to the stress of an already difficult situation.   

While we hope you never need the services of a Ontario personal injury lawyer, if you do, there are a number of considerations you should keep in mind when selecting the best Toronto or York Region Personal Injury Lawyer for you.

Some of the things you may want to consider in selecting an Ontario Personal Injury Lawyer are:

• Does the lawyer restrict his practice to representing the injured in personal injury claims?
• Does the lawyer have expertise in Ontario personal injury law?
• Does the lawyer have expertise in the area you need?
• Is the lawyer a member of personal injury trial lawyers' associations, such as the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association?
• Before you hire a lawyer, ask for references. You may want to talk to people who can comment on the lawyer's skills and service.
• Does the lawyer regularly appear in the courtroom where the case is going to be heard?
• Does the lawyer and staff treat you courteously and professionally?
• Is the lawyer accessible and responsive?
  
• Does the lawyer have a local office, or in the location where your accident occurred?
  
• Money Matters - is the lawyer willing to represent you on a "contingency fee" basis? This means that the lawyer will not be paid unless and until your case settles.  A contingency fee is paid based on a percentage of what you may collect on a settlement, or on a judgment if the case goes to trial.

Selecting an Ontario Personal Injury lawyer is an important decision.  In addition to the considerations above,it is also important that you feel comfortable with your lawyer and confident in his or her abilities to represent you.
