Why Should I Hire a Local Personal Injury Lawyer in Lowell, Massachusetts?

When you’ve been injured in a car accident or other accident, finding the right personal injury lawyer can be tough. There’s a lot to consider, and sometimes it seems like every website makes the same claims. One important point to consider is where your attorney is located and how extensive their experience is in the local courts–whether that’s in Lowell or in other parts of Massachusetts or New Hampshire.

Attorney Kevin P. Broderick is immersed in the Lowell area community. He is a past city councilman and past Vice-Mayor on the Lowell City Council, and also served on the city’s Planning Board and HIstorical Board. Kevin attended law school in Massachusetts and has been licensed to practice law in the state for more than 30 years.   

What Difference Does a Lawyer’s Location Make? 

It’s common for large law firms to offer services in numerous counties across several states–even nationwide. Many even advertise their far-flung services as a positive. It’s true the physical location doesn’t make a big difference in the digital era–most information will be exchanged electronically, and you can meet by telephone or video conferencing. 

Still, working with a local lawyer can make a big difference. Here’s why. 

What are the Top Reasons to Hire a Local Injury Lawyer? 

Some of the key reasons you should hire a local lawyer for your personal injury claim include: 

• A local attorney will know the area where the crash occurred and have easy access to the accident scene if necessary
• A local attorney is more likely to be familiar with high-risk stretches of road, areas where visibility is limited and other factors that may point to additional possible responsible parties
• An attorney who regularly handles personal injury cases in your county will be well-versed in the local court rules, the preferences of the local judges, how local juries tend to respond to certain types of cases, and other local factors that will play a role in your case
• A local attorney will be familiar with other local institutions and procedures that play a role in your case, such as obtaining medical records and police reports
• An attorney who regularly handles injury cases in your area will likely know the attorneys that typically represent insurance companies in your area and know what to expect from them–both what’s effective in dealing with them and what to watch out for
• Your attorney’s local reputation can make a difference in your case–for example, an insurance company is often more likely to offer a fair settlement if they know that your attorney is ready and able to take your case to trial if they don’t make a good offer
• A local attorney may be more willing to take your case to trial if that’s the best approach for your case, since they won’t face the expense and complication of traveling for trial
