After you or a loved one is injured in an accident, such as a vehicle crash, pedestrian accident, truck, motorcycle or bicycle accident, slip and fall or any other type of accident, you may be wondering whether you should consider hiring a personal injury attorney. To assist you in making this decision, we at Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. would like you to consider the following if: 

• Hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, rehabilitation, chiropractic work, orthopedics or cosmetic surgery are needed. These types of services may be substantial and involve future expenses and pain.
• Negligence on the part of another person or company is believed to be the cause of the accident.
• Insurance companies will most likely want to settle your claim or claims quickly before a personal injury attorney gets involved. They may seem to be on your side, but they are not. They are on the side of their shareholders. 

What to look for when hiring a personal injury attorney? 

Not all attorneys are equal. Should you need an attorney, you need to be sure he or she is experienced, qualified, trustworthy, and will personally be responsible for your case. Do not settle for just any attorney. 

Finding the right attorney for your case should involve: 

• Your past experience with attorneys and referrals from trusted family and friends.
• A check of the attorney’s rating. The attorney you select should be a member in good standing in their state and local bar association.
• Board certification is important. Attorneys are all required to be licensed to practice law, but not all are qualified and experienced in specialized areas of law. Bar associations in most states offer board certifications for attorneys in specific areas of expertise such as personal injury, family law etc. Certification is the highest level of recognition by the Florida Bar of competency and experience of attorneys in the areas of law approved for certification by the Supreme Court of Florida.
