How to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer

Below are some great questions to ask when you’re choosing the right personal injury
lawyer for you:

• How are their referrals and recommendations?

  Any lawyer can say they’ll fight for you, and they probably mean it, but not every lawyer has a proven track
  record of getting great results. Ask family and friends if they know any
  attorneys; even if they’re not a personal injury lawyer, they may have an excellent recommendation for one
  who is. Also, do some research on the web. See what their Google reviews say about
  them, and see if they have any client testimonials on their website.

  Burger Law is the highest- and most-reviewed law firm in the Midwest. In addition to the kind words our
  clients have to say about us, founder and principal Gary Burger has been chosen as a Super Lawyer by his peers
  for over ten consecutive years.

• How big is the law firm?

  Some law firms only have one attorney and a paralegal, and may not be able to focus enough energy on more
  complicated cases or consistently communicate with you. On the other hand, at larger firms your case may be
  stuck under a pile, pushed down to an inexperienced attorney or more or less forgotten about.

  Burger Law has the experience and knowledge of a large firm, but the personal dedication of a small firm. We
  have an amazing team of attorneys and paralegals who dedicate each day
  to providing an outstanding client experience and getting our clients great results.

• How is their client communication?

  You don’t want to be left in the dark about your case. Will they return your calls quickly? Will you be able
  to speak to the attorney assigned to your case, or just have messages passed through a paralegal or staff
  member?

  At Burger Law, we are available to speak to you 24/7/365. Our team always answers the phone or gets back to
  you promptly, and you will have the personal cell phone number of the attorney assigned to your case.

• Do they have experience with your type of case?

  The term “personal injury” encompasses a wide range
  of accidents and injuries, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Slip and falls
  • Medical malpractice
  • Dog bites
  • Product liability
  • Workers’ compensation

  An attorney may be great at holding negligent trucking companies accountable, but has never worked on a claim
  against a doctor or product manufacturer. Burger Law has handled everything from relatively minor whiplash
  injuries, to wrongful death medical malpractice cases to class-action product recalls and labor and wage
  loss complaints. There is virtually no injury we haven’t seen, and no legal theory or strategy we haven’t
  used to get our clients the great compensation they deserve.

• Are they experienced trial attorneys?

  The vast majority of injury claims settle before trial. Often, it’s the threat of a trial that ultimately
  motivates an insurance company or defendant to settle. Still, you want to be sure that, if going in front of
  a judge and jury is what it takes to get you fair compensation, your attorneys will be at the top of their
  game and will be calm, confident and collected when fighting for you.

  We’ve been trying and winning cases for over 30 years, know advanced
  trial law inside and out and know how to get a jury to see your side of things. In a recent victory,
  we achieved a $113
  million verdict in a case that went all the way up to the Missouri Supreme Court.

• How did I feel meeting with them?

  It’s OK to partially base your decision on some subjective gut feelings. Are they professional and organized
  enough to meet deadlines? Are they empathetic enough to understand the full scope of your pain and
  suffering? Did they take the time to listen to what you had to say, and explain things in a manner that you
  could understand them? Personal injury claims can take months or years. You’ll want an attorney that will
  get to know you and that you like talking on the phone with.

  Please take a look at our client testimonials and the Burger Law YouTube channel to see how we
  interact with our clients. Also, check out the videos below to learn a little more about our philosophy and
