How we ranked Durham personal injury lawyers
We scored 219 Durham personal injury lawyers on nine factors, weighted as shown. A law firm is ranked when its practice area is confirmed and it has 3 or more Google reviews or a claimed profile. A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency. Other unknown factors are left out, not counted as zero. Scores last refreshed November 9, 2026.
Paid placement never changes a rank or score. Attorney advertising businesses are paid, labelled, limited to 3 and shown above the ranking, outside it.

How to choose a personal injury lawyer
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many personal injury law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask who pays case costs (medical reports, filing fees, records) if there is no recovery, and whether costs come out before or after the lawyer’s percentage.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.
Questions to ask a personal injury lawyer
- How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
- How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
- Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
- Will you or another lawyer handle my case day to day?
- How many cases like mine have you taken to trial?
- Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?
Terms explained
- Contingency fee
- A fee that is a share of the money recovered, paid only if there is a recovery. Common in injury cases; not allowed for criminal defense or for securing a divorce.
- Retainer

- Conflict check
- The search a firm runs before taking a matter to make sure it does not represent someone on the other side.

The median Google rating among 219 rated personal injury lawyers in Durham is 4.8★, with a median of 18 reviews. Legal Rights Advocates, Inc. has the most, 777 reviews, and ranks #2. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does LawFirmsRanked rank personal injury lawyers?
Each personal injury lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do personal injury lawyers outside Durham count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 40 mi of the Durham city center, our service radius for personal injury lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.
Can personal injury lawyers pay to rank higher on LawFirmsRanked?
No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do personal injury lawyers in Durham, NH charge?
Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency: the fee is a share of any recovery and nothing is owed if there is none. The ABA Model Rules require a contingent fee agreement in writing, signed by the client, stating the percentage and how case costs are handled. Ask for the fee arrangement in writing before you agree.
Is there a deadline to bring an injury claim?
Yes. Every state sets a filing deadline (a statute of limitations) and some are as short as one year; claims against a government body can have even shorter notice periods. Ask a lawyer about the deadline for your claim early. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of personal injury lawyers in Durham, NH ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in Durham?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
