1. Learning about
Representation - What
Does a Personal Injury
Lawyer Really Do?

2. What Does A Personal Injury Lawyer
Do?
• Injuries are a part of life. Injuries
that are caused by others,
though, can be particularly
devastating. Not only can one's
life be changed, but it can be
changed due to no fault of one's
own. If you are injured in such an
accident, you may want to bring
suit to make sure that your
injuries are compensated.

3. What Does A Personal Injury Lawyer
Do?
• If you find yourself in such a
position, your most logical
choice is to hire a personal injury
attorney. When you do so,
though, you should be aware of
all the services that such an
attorney provides as well as the
roles that he or she will play in
your case.

4. Research
• When you bring a personal injury
suit, you have to get the
information to back up your claims.
A good personal injury attorney will
be a professional researcher - or
have a staff that can fill that role.
These attorneys will make use of
not only the traditional filings in
court and police reports, but check
everything from social media to
client websites to get the
information they need.

5. Research
• By taking on the role of detective
in your case, an attorney can
help to find out what really
happened and present that
information in a way that will be
valued by the court.

6. Recommendations
• Another function of a personal
injury attorney is to figure out
whether or not you actually have
a case. While injuries are a
depressingly common part of
life, the fact is that most are not
worth the time or effort to take to
court. A good lawyer will let you
know whether or not you have a
case and will also let you know
whether or not that case is viable
in the court system.

7. Recommendations
• Some of the best personal
injury lawyers are those
who can gently turn down a
client's case and make a
recommendation as to the
individual's next move.

8. Representation
• If you do have a case, though, a
personal injury lawyer can
represent you. While it is fully
within the law for an individual to
represent himself or herself, you
must remember that the individual
against who you are bringing a
case is unlikely to come to court
without a lawyer.

9. Representation
• A good attorney will help to state
you case cleanly and clearly and
do so in a manner that gives you
the best chance of recovery.
Great personal injury attorneys
are also willing to represent you
in mediation or arbitration, giving
you extra options outside of the
traditional court system.

10. • As you can tell, a good personal injury lawyer does much
more than just go to court. He or she should be your first
and best resource when you are injured due to the acts
of another, and should be able to help you when you
need it the most.

11. • While a lawyer cannot guarantee that you will win, a
skilled attorney will help to present your case in the best
manner possible. With the help of a lawyer, any injured
party should have a chance to put his or her life back
together.
