Choosing the Right Philadelphia Car Accident Lawyer

After a serious car accident, your choice of attorney can make a major difference in the outcome of your case. Insurance companies have highly paid legal teams working to minimize your claim, so you need an advocate who knows how to fight back. But with so many personal injury lawyers in Philadelphia, how do you choose the right one?


At Crichton Injury Law, we believe that informed clients make the best decisions. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a car accident lawyer in Philadelphia.


1. Courtroom Experience Matters

Not all lawyers have trial experience. Some may focus only on settling cases quickly, often for less than what victims truly deserve. Ask your attorney when they last tried a jury trial. A lawyer who isn’t afraid to step into the courtroom puts more pressure on insurance companies to offer fair settlements.


2. Reputation and Client Reviews

Your lawyer’s reputation speaks volumes. Check online reviews, ask for referrals, and see what former clients have said. Positive testimonials about communication, professionalism, and results are strong indicators that you’re in good hands.


3. Understanding of Pennsylvania Auto Insurance Laws

Pennsylvania’s “full tort” vs. “limited tort” rules can greatly affect your right to compensation for pain and suffering. An experienced local attorney will explain how these laws apply to your case and make sure you don’t sign away your rights.


4. Personal Attention and Accessibility

Car accident cases are stressful enough without feeling like just another case file. The right lawyer should be accessible, keep you updated, and take time to answer your questions. At Crichton Injury Law, we pride ourselves on giving every client the personal attention they deserve.


5. Proven Track Record in Settlements and Verdicts

Finally, ask about results. Has the attorney successfully recovered compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering? A strong history of results demonstrates skill in both negotiation and litigation.
