How to Choose the Right Personal Injury Lawyer for Your Case

Posted By Aguirre Law | February 2 2026 | Personal Injury

Personal injury cases are often complex and involve an adversarial process, so it is important that you choose the right attorney among the thousands of options out there. Here are some of the characteristics that you should look for when considering hiring a personal injury lawyer in San Antonio, Texas:

Experience in Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law is a specific type of law that requires a special set of skills. Your lawyer must be able to identify legal theories for pursuing compensation, effectively persuade insurance companies about the value of your case, and be willing to take your case to trial if the defendant or their insurer does not offer a fair settlement.

Look for a lawyer with years of experience in personal injury law, as well as experience specific to your particular type of case, whether that’s premises liability, car crash, or truck accident cases. When you interview potential lawyers to hire, ask the following questions:

  • How many years of experience do you have in personal injury law?
  • What portion of your legal practice involves my type of case?
  • What is your success rate in my type of case?
  • What amounts of compensation did previous clients receive in similar cases?

At The Aguirre Law Firm, we have over twenty years of experience serving the local community.

Strong Track Record of Results

You want to look closely at the lawyer’s history of results. Ultimately, you want to secure compensation for your losses, so it’s crucial that your lawyer is able to back up their skills with proven results.

Successful personal injury attorneys will have recovered significant compensation for clients and often display their results proudly on their websites. At The Aguirre Law Firm, we have recovered millions of dollars in life-changing compensation for our clients.

Good Communication and Accessibility

You will likely develop a close personal relationship with your personal injury attorney. You want to be able to have good communication with your lawyer, including the ability to reach them and ask questions while your case progresses. A good personal injury lawyer will keep you updated throughout the legal process and promptly return your messages. Look for a lawyer who has clear and consistent communication. The legal team at The Aguirre Law Firm offers around-the-clock communication and a high rate of client satisfaction.

Clear Fee Structure and Cost Transparency
