If you have to travel to meet your lawyer, you'll be paying a ton in gas bills and taking too much time out of your day. Choosing someone local is a solution to these problems, plus you'll know for sure they understand local laws and will be able to attend your court dates.
If you are involved in a personal injury case, the other person involved may have a special "diplomatic status" where you cannot sue them. You need to check with your insurance company to make sure you are covered in this case. If you are not, you might end up paying for the entire accident yourself.
You need to have a budget set up before you hire a lawyer. The costs can easily skyrocket if you don't present your budget to your lawyer before they begin. Try to find someone who will work on a conditional basis so you only have to pay them if they win your case.
If you have to miss work as a result of any injury you received, make sure that you let your boss know that this is why you will be absent. Later on you can ask your boss for a statement if you want to sue for any wages you lost as a result of being out.
