Why expert review matters
Information about accidents, claims and the law affects real decisions, so it has to be right. That's why expert review sits at the centre of how we work: it's not enough for content to read well, it has to be accurate and current. Our editorial team researches and writes every guide against primary sources, and our review process is designed to hold that work to a professional standard.
The standard our reviewers meet
Reviewers who check our legal content are qualified, practising or formerly-practising attorneys licensed in the United States, with relevant experience in personal-injury or motor-vehicle law. Their role is to verify that our guidance reflects the law accurately, is appropriately caveated, and is fair and balanced — including where we advise that someone may not need a lawyer at all.
Building our review panel
We're establishing a panel of qualified legal reviewers, and we're doing it carefully — a credible reviewer is a real, named professional who stands behind the work, not a logo. As reviewers join, guides they have checked will carry a named "reviewed by" credit alongside the last-reviewed date, so you can see exactly who verified what. We'd rather add named reviewers properly than display names we can't stand behind.
A reviewer credit should mean a real person checked this and put their name to it. Until it can mean that, we don't print it.
For qualified attorneys
If you're a licensed US attorney with experience in personal-injury or motor-vehicle law and you'd like to help make clear, honest public guidance better, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Reviewers are credited by name and contribute to content that helps people at a stressful moment make better-informed decisions.
