Some people say they don’t want to hire an attorney because the attorney gets a percentage of the total amount collected “which will just cost me money I would get to keep if I didn’t hire an attorney.” WRONG.
Think about it – if this were the case, no one would ever hire an attorney. Instead, attorneys bring value to the case and make your case larger than it would be if you handled it yourself. We know how to prepare and present your claim. We know how to value it properly. And we know how to negotiate with insurance companies and how to file lawsuits.
Insurance companies won’t take you seriously if you don’t have a lawyer. They know the system. You don’t. They know they can lie to you, take advantage of you, and undervalue your claim. However, if you hire an attorney, you usually will end up with more compensation which means that the attorney pays for themselves, usually several times over.
