You want a litigator (someone who mostly does trial work; as oppposed to someone who does wills or contracts or RE closings), preferably one with experience in personal injury matters (so not someone who mostly does evictions, or municipal court, or business diputes gone bad), and *ideally* someone whose experience in on the defense side of "tort" (that's what you call accident) cases--that said, an attorney who usually is on the plaintiff (suing) side should know how to defend them, too.
