When you are injured you naturally want an attorney that can get just compensation for your damages. Not just any attorney will do, however. Your family lawyer will probably refer you to a personal injury attorney and with good reason. Personal injury lawyers are the best at what they do and have traveled a long road to get there! In fact, their education never really stops. It takes a lot of education and effort to be a lawyer.
A personal injury attorney represents those who are injured physically, emotionally, psychologically because of malicious intent, neglect, or a product or service defect caused by a person, a business, or a government entity. These lawyers have to have special knowledge and experience in tort law, which is law that remedies civil wrongs and economic damages to a person's body, rights, property or reputation. Although they are trial lawyers, meaning they are capable to taking a case to trial before a jury or a bench trial, a attorney tries to avoid trial and come to a reasonable settlement for their client, or clients as in the case of class action lawsuits.
They are qualified to practice general law in nearly any field but handle cases involving tort law that include but aren't confined to vehicular accidents, medical malpractice, work injuries, defective consumer products, slip and fall injuries and other forms of injury. The best lawyers have years of experience in these matters, beginning with their education that starts with a four year bachelor's degree in any discipline. Then he or she has to complete a Juris Doctorate (JD), or law degree. They can then go on to earn a Masters of Law if they so desire, or an LLM. Attorneys who intend to specialize can get a master's degree, such as one in social work for family lawyers; a tax lawyer would be required to complete a CPA (certified public accountant) degree. Personal injury lawyers can become specialists in civil trial advocacy by becoming certified by the National Board of Legal Specialty.
A personal injury lawyer must then pass the bar with a written exam and sometimes, depending on the state, a written ethics exam; it varies from state to state. In most of the country a lawyer has to take the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) and the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) plus the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) and a state bar exam. Some states make them take the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), too.
Once a personal injury attorney passes the bar they have to stay current with all the latest news and developments in their field and complete a certain number of hours of CLE (continuing legal education) courses per year.
No other attorney is as qualified to protect your interests as a personal injury attorney.
