1. WE REPRESENT YOU IN NEGOTIATING WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

One widely noted study done in 1999, titled “Paying for Auto Injuries: A Consumer Panel Survey of Auto Accident Victims,” showed that people who hired attorneys to help with their claims received 40% more in insurance settlement money than those who didn’t.

In another report, called “Auto Injuries: Claiming Behavior and Its Impact on Insurance Costs,” the IRC data highlighted that payouts are 3.5 times higher for people who hire attorneys compared to those who don’t.

A 2014 IRC study, titled “Auto Injury Insurance Claims: Countrywide Patterns in Treatment, Cost and Compensation,” collected data on over 35,000 injury claims from 12 car insurance companies. The study showed that attorney involvement affected what the companies paid in damage settlements related to medical expenses.

3. WE FIGHT TO GET YOU PAID FOR YOUR MEDICAL INJURIES.

We will reach out to the insurance company on your behalf and set up a personal injury claim. After that will then ensure that you receive all medical treatment and testing needed to help you make a full recovery.

At this time, we will also begin negotiating with the insurance company and will inform you of any and all offers we recieve. Only an experienced lawyer can properly evaluate whether an offer being made by an insurance company is good or a bad offer. Clients are normally unexperienced in evaluating the fair value of their injuries, and often times get tricked into taking low ball offers. The insurance companies know that you don’t know what you are doing, and will take advantage of you!

Negotiating with the insurance companies is an extremely complicated process that no client should attempt by themselves. It is not as simple as asking for money; rather, it involves mountains of paperwork, the complicated demands, and the managing of medical liens and subrogation interests.

4. WE FILE A SUIT

If the insurance company refuses to make a good offer, or denies your claim, the only option left is to file a law suit and force them pay you what you deserve. During litigation we spend a vast amount of time tracking down evidence to help win your case.

At this point, once the insurance company’s know that we mean business, and once they see they will lose the case at court, they will usually pay a lot more money than usual in order to avoid losing at trial.

Litigation is the one tool that unrepresented clients do not have. And without the threat of being able to sue the insurance company, they will never feel motivated to make a good offer.
