For your convenience, BLACKBURN & GREEN has prepared the following list of 10 questions you should ask before hiring a personal injury attorney. Don’t assume all lawyers are the same. Get the facts, ask questions, and make an informed decision.
1. Do you limit your practice to personal injury and wrongful death?

YES.

Just as there are different kinds of doctors, there are different kinds of lawyers. Some are general practitioners (who have a strong general knowledge in many areas of the law), while others limit their practice to just one field – such as personal injury and wrongful death, divorce, tax law, bankruptcy, criminal, and so on.

At BLACKBURN & GREEN, we limit our practice to just personal injury and wrongful death law. By concentrating our efforts on just one area, we’re able to devote more time, energy, and experience to each client.
2. Did every partner graduate with honors?

YES.

In order to graduate with honors from law school, it takes desire, discipline and dedication. When you find an attorney who graduated from law school with honors, you can be assured that he or she has worked hard to obtain the knowledge and proven discipline to professionally handle your case.

Tom Blackburn and R.T. Green both graduated with honors from Indiana University School of Law, one of the most prestigious law schools in the Midwest.

3. How many years of experience do you have?

OVER 60.

When it comes to personal injury and wrongful death law, there’s no substitute for experience. Together, Tom Blackburn and R.T. Green have over 60 years of legal experience and have represented victims throughout the Midwest, California, Colorado, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Before founding their own personal injury law firm, each gained valuable experience by serving in various legal capacities. Those positions include deputy prosecuting attorney, circuit court judge, insurance company defense lawyer, and general practitioner.

4. Do you have jury trial experience?

YES.

An attorney with a solid reputation in court has more clout with insurance companies. That’s because insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to go to trial and which ones aren’t, and they use that information in deciding how to handle your case. A lawyer who has trial experience is more likely to be offered a fair settlement sooner by the insurer. A lawyer who has never been to court, on the other hand, may get a lower offer.

Over the years, Tom Blackburn and R.T. Green have tried many jury cases – both large and small – for their clients. In compliance with the Indiana Rules for Professional Conduct, they are happy to provide you with the number and size of jury verdict awards. Simply call toll-free 1-800-444-1112 and request a free appointment to discuss our jury trial experience and verdicts.

Read the rest of the important questions

• Investigate your case
• Deal with insurance companies and opposing counsel
• Interview witnesses
• Collect information, including police reports, medical records and reports, and medical bills
• Handle the maze of paperwork necessary to resolve your claim
• Research current law

At BLACKBURN & GREEN, we encourage you to talk to several personal injury attorneys before choosing one. You’ll see that not all lawyers are alike. On the following pages, you’ll find 10 important questions that you should ask any lawyer you’re considering hiring. In addition, here are some qualities that every good lawyer should have:

• The lawyer is honest and ethical. He or she understands that no matter what a case is potentially worth, it’s not worth violating the law or state bar ethical rules.
• The lawyer treats you with respect and as an equal partner.
• The lawyer clearly explains the law to you and discusses all possible outcomes and alternatives to resolving your case.
• The lawyer communicates regularly with you. This includes written correspondence, returning phone calls, and letting you know of all settlement offers and developments in your case.
• The lawyer is an experienced personal injury attorney with a proven track record of success.
• The lawyer makes decisions in your best interest, not what is easiest or most convenient for his or her schedule.
