While many other national organizations for lawyers focus on continuing education for their type of lawyer or for advocating laws that work in favor of their lawyers, the National Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (NAPIL) is more focused on creating a nation-wide directory of personal injury lawyers.

Their mission, according to their website, is to create and make available to the general public a comprehensive and easily accessible directory of personal injury lawyers nationwide for those seeking a remedy for their personal injury. They also include improving access to personal injury lawyers and their services for all those living within the nation’s borders; fostering an environment of fellowship and free exchange of ideas among member personal injury lawyers for a better understanding of personal injury laws; providing a source of information for the public, media, and legislators in support of personal injury lawyers; and promoting justice for the aggrieved as part of their mission as well. 

Their website provides a list of resources for personal injury lawyers. This includes a list of expert witnesses for everything from car accidents to medical problems and care. As stated earlier, there is less emphasis on continuing education and more on being a national directory. The site claims to be a resource of information for people and they are, to a degree. They do provide minimal information concerning various forms of personal injury such as neck injuries but the information doesn’t cover very much. The majority of information provided on the website entails how to contact a personal injury lawyer. In a nutshell, it would be a better idea to search for a specific lawyer in an area in order to obtain more relevant information for your state or area.
