Research Tools

The right personal injury lawyer for you depends on your budget, where you live, and which has the most relevant expertise. The top personal injury lawyer sites provide a directory of lawyers with advanced search and filter tools to help you rapidly locate the ones that meet your criteria. At a minimum, the site should enable you to filter out lawyers that do not handle personal injury claims and should have a locator tool to help you find a lawyer in your area if you prefer to meet face to face to discuss your situation. Some websites also enable you to filter by customer rating or years of experience. We favored sites that offered more filters as it saves you time in searching for a lawyer

Each lawyer's page should contain detailed information on their credentials, experience, and any past misconduct so that you can identify which one suits you. Many also have review sections where past clients and even other attorneys can leave reviews. This can be critical if you're struggling to decide between lawyers with similar credentials. Some sites may also share pricing information, which is important if you have budget constraints.


Communication

The top personal injury lawyers have multiple contact methods and the top personal injury sites make this information readily available to you. Most should have phone numbers or emails you can use to discuss the case. Some sites also have private messaging systems you can use to reach out to potential lawyers when you're trying to decide which one is right for your case

Many personal injury lawyers also provide links to their company website and information on their branch locations, so it's easy to find the one nearest you. For those who cannot travel, some lawyers do video conferencing.

It's up to the individual lawyers to determine which contact methods they will use, so in our review, we focused primarily on how easy the personal injury lawyer site made finding the lawyer's contact information and reaching out to them. We preferred sites that clearly listed multiple contact methods rather than sites who just linked to the lawyer's website.


Online Resources

Law can be complicated and many personal injury lawyer sites contain help articles to educate you about the process you'll go through and things that you should know before filing a lawsuit or seeking out an attorney. Not everyone will have a need for these guides as your lawyer can probably explain what you need to know, but they can be valuable assets if you're not sure whether you need a lawyer or you'd like to gain a greater understanding of how personal injury law works

Some websites also enable you to post your questions to the site where you can get free answers from real lawyers. This is a valuable resource if you have a quick question or you're unsure of how you should proceed. Most of these sites also maintain a database of other people's questions, so you can read through these and see if any of them apply to your situation.
