Need a personal injury lawyer? Does he or she work with a medical professional?

When filing a personal injury claim, you need to make sure you are working with the right legal team to represent your case. With the vast amount of personal injury lawyers, it may seem challenging to narrow your search. One criterion to consider is whether or not the personal injury lawyer has access to the right medical professional as a part of his or her team.

While attorneys may have strong legal backgrounds to compile evidence and produce strong cases, they are not doctors and cannot give medical advice. Therefore, having access to the right medical experts provides a much-needed perspective when evaluating the evidence. This will prove to be particularly helpful when determining the proper compensation amount as the physician would be able to see the lasting impact of the injury and the types of treatments that would be needed. In addition, if you have general questions regarding your personal injury situation, the medical professional can provide your attorney with sound guidance.

Contact the Riverside County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service to connect you to the right lawyer and if you have any questions regarding personal injury attorneys.

If outside of Riverside County, consider the Lawyer Referral Services at the following bar associations:
