1. Assess Trial Experience – Not Just Settlements
Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but that doesn’t mean you should hire an attorney who avoids the courtroom. Insurance companies know which lawyers are prepared to go to trial. A firm with a strong trial record can often achieve better settlement results.
Key Indicators:
- Multi-million-dollar verdicts
- Regular trial appearances in NY courts
- Board certification or ABOTA membership
- Client testimonials highlighting courtroom success
2. Investigate the Firm’s Resources and Network
Top cases demand top resources. A high-performing personal injury firm must have the financial and professional capability to hire expert witnesses and build a strong case.
What to Look For:
- In-house investigators
- Advanced technology like 3D reconstructions
- Access to medical specialists
- Proven investment in expert testimony
3. Examine Success in Catastrophic Injury Cases
Catastrophic injuries require lawyers who understand the long-term implications and have a track record of handling high-stakes claims.
Red Flags:
- Focus on minor injury claims

6. Assess Experience with Insurance Companies
Insurers use every tactic to avoid full payouts. You need a lawyer who understands their strategies and how to fight back.
Key Strategies:
- Countering lowball offers
- Presenting future economic damages
- Filing bad faith insurance claims
- Using pre-trial motions to increase leverage
7. Check Case-Specific Experience
Injury cases vary. Your attorney should have deep experience with your specific type of claim.
