I was involved in a slip and fall accident several weeks ago and would like information on how to locate an attorney and steps in beginning the process of getting full compensation for medical bills and time away from work. I would estimate that the medical bills thus far add up to about $5,000 and I have been out of work for over a week. I am worried that the injury will result in ongoing medical expenses and I’m not in a position to continue to pay for these bills considering my insurance only picks up a set amount and I have to pay the rest out of my pocket.

Any recommendation on a good personal injury lawyer that handles slip and fall cases and a good site in which I can do a little research on my own would be great.
Thank you for your response in advance.

The steps in locating the right attorney can start with first locating several attorneys that specialize in slip and fall accidents. Once you have located several attorneys call around and set-up consultations with each of the firms. A personal injury case is somewhat different than a criminal or other practice areas. A personal injury attorney typically gets paid a contingency fee if he or her are successful in winning your claim. When meeting a personal injury attorney find out how long they have been handling personal injury related cases and more specifically slip and fall cases. This will give you a good indication of whether the attorney is qualified to handle your case. Don’t be scared to find out their win lose ratio as well. You can determine based upon a website and interview if a lawyer is qualified to handle your case.
