What requirements must a WordPress template meet in the event of personal injury?
Are you a personal injury lawyer and do you want to create or have a new website created in WordPress? This started with looking for the right template for the website. What requirements must a website meet for personal injury claims? How do you ensure that people come to your website after they have been hit by a car (Dutch: aangereden door auto) and can immediately find what they need?
To give a good answer to which WordPress template you need for personal injury, it is good to know what personal injury actually is.
What exactly is personal injury?
If someone has an accident in traffic, such as a rear-end collision, there is a good chance that injuries and/or complaints will arise. Consider, for example, whiplash complaints (Dutch: whiplash klachten), a fracture or anxiety complaints. These injuries and complaints can cause limitations. For example, restrictions in the field of work, in the household or in the field of maintenance of the home or garden. But costs also arise, such as medical costs and travel expenses.
Recovering personal injury is not easy and that is why a personal injury lawyer is often called in. This personal injury specialist knows exactly how personal injury is recovered. He or she holds the other party liable for the victim’s personal injury and calculates the personal injury damage. Ultimately, the personal injury lawyer will work with the other party or its personal injury insurance to recover the damage from the other party.
What is important for a WordPress website?
If someone has been injured as a result of a traffic accident, industrial accident or dog bite, a personal injury lawyer will often be sought. This mainly happens via the internet. If you, as a personal injury lawyer, want to ensure that accident victims engage you as their lawyer, you will need a good WordPress website. But what requirements must a WordPress website at a law firm specialized in personal injury meet?
Firstly, those who had an accident are looking for a specialized lawyer to recover personal injury damages. That is why it is important to make your membership of, for example, a trade organization clearly known on the website. You can do this, for example, by placing one or more logos of specialist quality marks on the WordPress website. In the Netherlands, for example, there is the LSA, the Dutch Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. Only lawyers specialized in personal injury are members of this professional association. For accident victims, this is the guarantee that they are dealing with a real specialist in the field of personal injury.
Not only quality marks are important. Legal seekers also look at what others think of a personal injury lawyer. It is therefore also important that reviews are placed on the website. The more reviews are posted, the better it is. So always ask clients to leave a positive review on Google or another system visible on the website.
A good website is therefore very important if you want to attract clients as a personal injury lawyer. But a good SEO and marketing campaign is also important. This way you ensure that victims of a collision or accident at work actually visit your website.
