QUESTION
How could I locate an attorney who will help with my sons personal injury?
Asked on Jun 19th, 2015 on Personal Injury - Kentucky
More details to this question:
My question is regarding a personal injury. My son was racially attacked and sustained injuries. I Have contacted an attorney who prolonged giving an answer as to if he/she would take the case. Due to my sons unique situation the attorney had no experience in that field. I need to locate an attorney who has experience, and who will fight for my sons rights!

If you are in Nevada, I know the perfect lawyer. If not, let me know where the attack occurred and I will find you a good lawyer.

lawyers advertise everywhere. Look on billboards, bathroom walls, tv, buses, and you will find lawyers. I cannot comment on how good they are. The wisest thing to do is to talk to people and get referrals from satisfied clients, not people who get a "kick back" for referring people to lawyers. Interview the lawyer and make your own determination if he/she just "talks the talk" rather than has any substance, skill or experience. Good luck with your quest.

If the attorney has not yet clearly stated they will take the case, that means he/she is not really interested in handling it. ?You need to find another attorney, but first find out why your current attorney is uninterested in the case. ?It may very be well that the people who injured your son have no assets so there is no money that can be collected.

I'd suggest doing an internet search using key phrases such as "civil rights attorney [your city]".

A preliminary question is why should you do this? Unless his assailant has a lot of money or property, or a high-paying job, he is not likely to be able to pay any judgment your son might win against him. Also his side will likely testify that this was an ordinary fight between two young men in which both of them assumed the risk of injury. You can find lawyers on line (Avvo.com is on source); also in the yellow pages; and from the state bar's lawyer referral service. None of this can guaranty successor even guaranty the kind of aggressive lawyer you are seeking. (You will have a chance to interview the lawyer before making any decision, anyway. Don't be swept away by aggressive language: it might not reflect what the lawyer really can accomplish and quite often in court matters it's not the showy tough-guy lawyer who does best for his client, but a more measured lawyer who is control of the key facts.)

Talk with a friend or relative who may have successfully pursued a personal injury claim. Find out what lawyer represented that friend or relative. Otherwise, go online to see what lawyers are advertising their services for personal injury cases.

To answer your question, it would be helpful if you could provide a description of what happened in the accident and what your son's injuries were.
