Introduction: Why do I need an Attorney?
Anyone who tries to get a fair settlement from the insurance company without the aid of an Attorney usually fails for two reasons
First and foremost, they don't know how much money they are entitled to receive because they don't know what their rights are. For instance, they may not know of their right to compensation for loss to enjoyment of life, mental anguish, pain and suffering, to name a few.
Second and even more important, insurance companies only respond to a threat of force from an attorney they know can make them pay in court. Without an attorney and the ability to take their case to court, the insurance company simply drags the case out and refuses to offer a fair settlement.
For these reasons, an experienced injury attorney with a reputation for making the insurance company pay will usually obtain a larger and quicker settlement than the unrepresented person can obtain on their own. You need an experienced injury attorney.
