What are the benefits of hiring a board-certified personal injury attorney?

Few Tampa lawyers can claim board certification.

What does it mean to be a board certified lawyer in Florida?
According to the Florida Bar Association, fewer than 7 percent of Florida attorneys are board-certified as specialists in their respective fields. This is because obtaining board certification is not an easy task.
To become a Florida Bar Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, the lawyer must meet a rigorous set of standards. The lawyer must:
- Have a minimum of 5 years as a practicing attorney in the field of civil trial law
- Have tried at least 15 contested civil cases as lead counsel before a jury
- Be evaluated and reviewed by fellow attorneys and judges
- Complete a minimum of 50 hours of continuing legal education requirements
- Pass a written exam
Why is it important to hire a board certified attorney for your personal injury case?
When an attorney is board certified in civil trial law, this signifies to others that the lawyer has substantial legal experience and has been subjected to extensive peer review. If you have been seriously injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, such as a car accident, trucking accident, motorcycle accident, or slip and fall, you deserve to have a Tampa injury attorney who is an expert in his or her field.
Hiring a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer will ensure your counsel is well-respected within the legal community, has proven experience, will treat you with the highest level of professionalism, and will fight for a full and fair settlement for you, even if that means taking your case to trial.
