The services of personal injury attorneys are sought when a person claims to have been physically or psychologically injured because of the negligence or incorrect actions of a third-party. The third-party could be another individual, a government, a company, corporation, business, school or any other entity. Personal injury attorneys specialize in an area of the law, known as Tort law. Tort law includes non-economic and economic injuries to a person’s right, reputation and or property. It also includes civil actions. These attorneys are educated and trained in general law, and in all areas of the law, but they typically handle cases that are related to personal injuries or Tort law. They often handle injuries that result from a car or other vehicle accidents, work related injuries, medical errors, and defective and malfunctioning products, falls and many others that are not listed here.

Personal injury attorneys have to be permitted to practice in the states in which they work. In order to do so, they have to successfully complete certain bar examinations (different states will have different examinations). In an ironic twist, personal injury attorneys are also commonly known as trial lawyers, even though their cases rarely get to trial. These lawyers prefer to reach to a settlement out of court. It is also odd, as other kinds of lawyers go to trial. If you are thinking of opening a personal injury case against a third-party, you also have to think about hiring the services of an attorney. This has to be done to ensure that not only are your rights being protected as an applicant, but also that the case is ruled in your favor by the courts or that you reach a favorable out-of-court settlement with the party that you want to sue.

All lawyers and attorneys, including personal injury attorneys, undertake an ethical and professional code of conduct when they qualify, and which they must follow for the duration of their careers in the law profession. These codes are created and regulated by state bars. The services that you can expect from an attorney include; filing legal complaints on your behalf, representing in court during proceedings, provide legal advice to the clients and prospective clients, and draft legal documents.

What steps do personal injury attorneys take before they accept client cases?

Firstly, the personal injury attorney needs to meet with prospective clients in a consultation before they can represent them. Next, the attorney will evaluate the individual cases before they determine whether, there is any legal basis for them. If the client does have legal ground to stand on, the attorney will begin doing research in order to build a strong case with which he/she will fight for the client, against the third-party previously described.

The ultimate goal of a good attorney is to win justice as well as winning the appropriate compensation for their clients. The attorney will have to be able to use every possible skill and piece of knowledge that they have in order to win each client’s case. However, the attorney will also try to avoid taking the case to the court to be heard by a Judge; so he/she will try to reach a settlement with the third-party in the favor of their client. The codes of conduct that are discussed above state that the personal injury attorney, indeed all lawyers and attorneys, has to be loyal to their clients, and also respect the lawyer / client confidentiality, as well as respect the best interests of each client.
