Yes, personal injury victims need experienced lawyers. Ut est rerum omnium magister usus, or “experience is the best teacher.” Rigorous law school classes and the California Bar Exam teach wannabe attorneys how to look at legal problems and think like lawyers. Attorneys must analyze car crash and other personal injury cases, see possible claims and defenses, and know what evidence to collect.
Experience teaches practicing attorneys how to act like lawyers. An attorney must know how the law works for victims, not just what the law says. Additionally, attorneys must convey information to clients in a language they understand, not Legalese.
Experience is the best teacher, but as outlined below, it’s certainly not a perfect teacher. A personal injury lawyer in California must have the right kind of experience to successfully resolve personal injury matters.
Lawyer websites frequently stress years of experience above everything else. We’re proud of our thirty-plus years of experience. But years of experience can be overrated and misleading.
Almost all personal injury matters settle out of court. Frequently, matters settle before a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer files legal paperwork. As a result, many “experienced” lawyers have little or no courtroom experience. As cases move further through the litigation process, these lawyers get in over their heads.
Furthermore, personal injury victims need an experienced winner, not an experienced loser. A last-place basketball team that returns all five starters is an experienced losing team. Winning basketball games and court cases is not a matter of knowing the rules. It’s a matter of proper preparation coupled with a winning attitude.
On a related note, many lawyers have general experience. Back in the day, Perry Mason successfully handled all kinds of cases. But the time of the general practice lawyer has passed. If you need foot surgery, you see a podiatrist, not a general practice lawyer. Likewise, if you have a serious personal injury matter, you should see a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer.
Don’t be fooled by mere years of experience. Ask a lawyer about trial experience and prior successes. That’s the kind of experience a personal injury victim needs. Note that a lawyer who’s only practiced for a few years, such as an associate at a firm, often has the best kind of experience.
Trial experience is important for two reasons. First, the settlement preparation process is almost identical to the trial preparation process. Second, a client must know that a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer is ready, willing, and able to go the distance if necessary.
Prior successes are even more critical. No lawyer can guarantee results. But a lawyer can guarantee to use proven methods and work hard. That’s all anyone can ask for.
The right kind of experience makes a life-changing difference for clients. For a free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer in California, contact the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim. The sooner you reach out to us, the sooner we start working for you.
