Clients may come to your office with a potential personal injury (PI) case.  If you’re a lawyer, and this is outside your practice area, it makes sense to refer that case to an experienced PI firm, like Galfand Berger, for many reasons:

1. Complex Practice Area: Personal injury law is a complex field that involves specific statutes, regulations, and case law. Attorneys who focus  on personal injury cases are likely to have a deeper understanding of these complexities. By referring cases to Galfand Berger,  non-PI attorneys ensure that clients receive the benefit of an experienced PI
2. Maximize Client Outcomes: Personal injury cases often involve significant damages, and the outcome can have a substantial impact on the lives of the affected individuals. Referring the case to Galfand Berger increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome, as our attorneys are well-versed in the nuances of personal injury law and know how to navigate the legal system to maximize compensation for clients.
3. Case Resources: Personal injury cases can be time-consuming and expensive to litigate.  Galfand Berger funds these cases so you don’t have to.  Our referral counsel find this approach cost-effective and smart.  Instead, they can focus on their own cases.
4. Referral Network: Referring cases to Galfand Berger can help non-PI lawyers build a network of trusted professionals. This network can be valuable for future reciprocal referrals and sharing knowledge across different practice areas.  Many of our cases are referred to us by other attorneys. Likewise, Galfand Berger attorneys value the reciprocal relationships we create.   If we get cases outside our practice areas, we send them to other attorneys.
5. Ethical Considerations: Attorneys are required to provide competent representation to their clients. If a non-PI attorney is not comfortable or lacks the knowledge to handle a personal injury case effectively, referring it to a PI attorney is a responsible decision.
6. Avoid Malpractice Risks: Handling a personal injury case without the necessary skills can lead to errors, oversights, or misunderstandings of legal requirements. Referring the case to Galfand Berger reduces the risk of malpractice claims and helps maintain the attorney’s professional reputation.
