How do I get a personal injury lawyer or attourney?

I need a someone to handle my car accident case. How do I get someone to actually fight for me, without me paying money before hand, and just gets a percentage of my reward money? If so, how do I find one.

1. open the yellow pages and look at the attorney ads.
2. Ask friends who they use. They are a great source of information. If all else fails, go through your Yellow pages. Some will say "You don't pay until we win!" If you go on line you can put in a zipcode and find lawyers in your area. I would start by asking co-workers and friends though. Good luck to you.
3. You can try the Bar Association in the county where you live. You can contact www.handelonthelaw.com and ask for a referral.
4. If you are in Texas you go here: http://www.texasbar.com/Template.cfm?Section=Selecting_a_Lawyer&CONTENTID=3836&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm Most attorneys don't charge for this type of case, but they will receive part of your recovery as their fee. This gives them the incentive to fight to get you more money. Good Luck
5. YOU WILL GET THE SHAFT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD RATHER PAY THEIR LAWYERS AND THEIR HIGH PRICED WITNESSES THEY CALL "EXPERTS". YOU WILL WAIT FIVE YEARS FOR TRIAL AND YOUR LAWYER WILL BE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES PUPPET. CALL A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY NEAR YOUR AREA. MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THEIR CASES ONLINE. MAKE SURE THEY WILL HIRE AN "EXPERT" TO PROVE YOUR CASE. WITHOUT AN "EXPERTS" OPINION, YOU WILL LOSE IN COURT EVERYTIME. IN MOST STATES YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY MONEY UNLESS THEY WIN YOUR CASE. AND ITS USUALL33.3%-40% MY BROTHER LOST AFTER FIVE YEARS. HE COULDNT EVEN BRING UP HIS INJURIES TO THE JURY. HE SUFFERED A SKULL FRACTURE(4 PLATES,23 SCREWS),BROKEN FEMUR,TIBIA,HUMEROUS, PULMONARY CLAPSE, BRAIN HEMATOBA, AND HAD TO HAVE A BLOOD TRANSFUSION. ALL I CAN SAY IS GOOD LUCK.
6. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I was injured once when a car backed over my right foot at work. My company tried to settle with me fast because I knew they were try to get me to sign some papers to release them from responsibility. I called a local lawyer in my area who gave me excellent advice and I was able to get a decent settlement to cover my medical bills that weren't covered by my primary insurance. I'd find a accident lawyer in your area. http://www.accidentlawyerlocator.com My injury lawyer was helped me because they stand to make some money at the same time. Try calling a lawyer to see if they can help. Sorry to hear about your situation.
