INSURANCE STUDY: DO YOU RECOVER MORE IF YOU HIRE AN ATTORNEY? The insurance companies hired the Insurance Research Council to perform a study to determine if personal injury claimants recovered more with or without an attorney. The study found that personal injury claimants with an attorney recover on average 3.5 times more than those who went it alone. These results are bad news for the insurance companies since the cat is out of the bag that hiring an attorney pays dividends. This is good news of course for personal injury claimants since it is clear that hiring an attorney results in much better settlements and verdicts than representing yourself.
ATLANTA PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY BELIEVES HIRING AN ATTORNEY USUALLY INCREASES THE RECOVERY EVEN MORE THAN 3.5 TIMES: Attorney Richard Griffin has handled thousands of Atlanta personal injury claims and can think of many, many examples where the personal injury claimant was being offered little or nothing and after hiring him they recovered thousands. In one premise liability personal injury case his client was crushed by a refrigerator that was installed without the anti-tilt kit. The client attempted to represent herself and was offered nothing. After hiring The Griffin Law Firm, P.C. the insurance adjuster offered $50,000. In light of the medical expenses of $120,000 this offer was far too low. When the case was tried a jury later awarded $1,000,000. Every case is different, but the one constant is that hiring an attorney better protects your rights and greatly increases your chances of being fully compensated for your personal injury, wrongful death, worker’s compensation, or social security disability claim.
WHY DOES HIRING AN ATTORNEY MAKE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE?
- Jury Verdict Research: Personal injury lawyers can use their experience, as well as, jury verdict research to truly know the likely value of your case. This can make negotiations far more successful.
- Litigation: Personal injury attorneys can litigate when needed to hold the adjuster’s feet to the fire. Sometimes adjusters and defense attorneys dig in their heels with unreasonably low offers.
- Stacking Insurance Policies: Personal injury attorneys know who to identify and recover all of the insurance policies that may cover your personal injury, wrongful death, or worker’s compensation claim.
