Why the Personal Injury Lawyer You Choose Matters
When you’ve been injured in an accident, choosing the right personal injury lawyer can be the most important decision you make. In Ontario, not all personal injury lawyers are the same. At Auger Hollingsworth, we’ve seen firsthand how dramatically a client’s choice of lawyer can impact the outcome of a case.
Not All Lawyers Are Created Equal
It’s tempting to think all personal injury lawyers work the same way—after all, they all have the same law degree, right? But the truth is, there’s a wide range in experience, focus, and approach. Some firms handle a high volume of cases and aim to settle quickly. Others, like Auger Hollingsworth, take the time to build each case meticulously, ensuring you get the compensation you truly deserve.
A lawyer’s reputation also matters. Insurance companies and defence lawyers know which law firms are serious about going to trial and which ones will take the first offer. That knowledge affects the settlement offers clients receive. When your lawyer is known for being thorough, strategic, and unafraid of trial, it changes how your case is treated.
Choose Carefully—Changing Lawyers Isn’t Easy
Many clients don’t realize how difficult it can be to switch lawyers once your claim is underway. While it’s not impossible, changing lawyers can lead to delays, additional paperwork, and even disputes over legal fees between firms. It can also interrupt the momentum of your case at a critical time.
That’s why it’s so important to choose carefully at the start. Take the time to research your options, ask questions, and make sure you feel confident in your lawyer’s experience, communication style, and approach. A strong start sets the tone for the entire case.
