Best Lawyers has launched the 2023 Injury & Malpractice Legal Guide, an exclusive location on our webpage dedicated to this critical group of practice areas. This Legal Guide offers:

  • An exhaustive grid of more than 7,800 lawyers who have been awarded in The Best Lawyers in America®, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America and many who are “Lawyer of the Year” recipients. These lawyers have been selected by their peers as the top lawyers in the country in one or more personal injury-related practices of the law, and they are here to guide victims of injury and malpractice.
  • Articles written by lawyers specifically for clients, consumers and victims of injury who are facing unsure situations. These articles offer advice on what to do, what steps to take and how to proceed in these often scary and confusing situations. Whether you or a loved one are facing possibly injury or malpractice cases, these articles offer helpful information and professional guidance.
  • Profiles for lawyers and firms who have maximized their presence through Best Lawyers, ensuring that they are available and accessible to clients.
