You can eliminate lawyers from your list by looking for recommendations and referrals. Talk to friends and family, read online reviews, and disciplinary records for the attorneys on the list you have compiled.  State bar associations keep public records about complaints and disciplinary actions taken against attorneys licensed to practice in the state. You can find your bar association’s website by selecting your state from the State & Local Bar Associations page provided by the American Bar Association. If any attorneys cannot take your case, ask if they have any recommendations for an appropriate attorney for your case.

Look for:  Information pertaining to slip and fall cases or other personal injury suits A professional website free of misspellings, grammatical errors, etc. Background information, such as education, work history, and specialization—you don’t want a personal injury attorney who only handles medical malpractice, for instance Most lawyers will want to work on a contingency fee basis. Paying an attorney for this type of case on an hourly basis can be risky because outcomes in slip and fall cases are difficult to predict. Paying using a contingency fee means that you only pay the lawyer if you recover money in your case. He or she will get a percentage of the money awarded. If the case is lost, you won't owe any legal fees for the attorney’s work.  Contingency fee arrangement percentages vary, but 30% to 40% is common. Make sure you discuss what you are responsible for paying and how much of a percentage the attorney will take from your settlement if you win. Even without legal fees, most lawyers will require you to pay some or all related costs upfront. Possible costs include:  Filing costs Costs for serving the opposing party with a copy of the complaint Paying the court reporter to record any depositions Paying for expert witnesses to testify if your case ends up going to trial If you are thinking of entering into a contingency fee agreement, you should also discuss with the attorney what the possible outcomes for your case are. For example, you may want to consider another type of fee arrangement if the attorney says that you are likely to win only a small amount of money. After paying the attorney’s fee, you could end up with an insufficient amount for your medical expenses.

Summary:
Make a list of personal injury attorneys in your area. Gather referrals and recommendations. Review attorney websites. Discuss fee arrangements and other costs. Discuss possible outcomes with the attorney.
