Will I recover a Larger Settlement By Using an Attorney Than if I Try to Handle the Claim on My Own?
One of the many questions accident victims ask is “ Will I Recover A Larger Settlement by Using An Attorney than if I try and handle the claim on my own?”
The insurance representative will more than likely answer “no.” However, that is not necessarily the truth.
A study by the Insurance Research Council (a nonprofit group funded by major insurance companies)titled “Paying for Auto Injuries” reported that the average payout on claims utilizing an attorney is 4.8 X more than claims in which the accident and injury victim tries to settle the case on their own.
This study also concluded that individuals who use an attorney receive 3.28 X more money after attorney’s fees are paid.
Most insurance companies know of this study and to maximize profits, train their representatives to try and convince people not to use an attorney.
The insurance companies know that if you hire an attorney, they will likely have to pay you much more money in settlement.

“Why Does the insurance company insist that I give them a recorded statement?”
Another Questions Injury Victims Ask Is, “Why Does the insurance company insist that I give them a recorded statement?”
The insurance company goal is to minimize payouts.
To do this, they will try and get you to say something that could end up hurting your case.
In most car accidents, a police report is filed. The insurance company has easy access to this report.
However, most insurance companies train their representatives to get a recorded statement in hopes that you provide information which could later be used to either deny the claim or pay out less money.

Another Question Accident Victims Ask Is, “Should I wait until my medical treatment concludes to settle my case?
The insurance company knows that the quicker you settle the claim, the less money it will have to pay.
Once you settle the claim, you usually can’t reopen the case if it turns out your injuries are more severe or if you need more treatment.
Most insurance companies train their representatives to settle every claim as quickly as possible so the injury victim can’t re-open the case later if the individual’s injury takes a turn for the worse.

How Can the Insurance Company Verify That the Amount Being Offered to Me is Fair and Reasonable?
Another Question Accident Victims Ask Is, “ How Can the insurance company verify that the amount being offered to me is fair and reasonable?”
It can’t.
However, do not be surprised when the representative tells you it is.
Unless you are in the business of negotiating and settling personal injury claims, it is unlikely that you will know whether the amount that is being offered is fair.
When negotiating and settling the claim yourself without using an experienced personal injury attorney, you risk accepting an amount that may be much less than what is considered reasonable and fair for your type of accident and injury claim.
Because you only get one chance to recover for all of your harms and losses, it is important to consider all your options carefully before making a decision on whether or not to handle your case solo.
Call Us today and let us help you get the fair and just compensation you deserve.
