I often get the qustion. "Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury insurance settlement." My response is, "Do you want to maximize the settlement value that you receive. Do you want to net as much money in your pocket as possible. Would you operate on yourself if you had a broken arm." The answers to these questions are always the same.
But not every personal injury settlement calls for a lawyer to maximize value. In small cases a lawyer would have a difficult time adding value to your case. They are not a threat if you only went to the doctor once or twice and have no long term problem. Why. Because no serious personal injury lawyer would file suit on such a small case. My opinion is that you can get maximum money by yourself and I'm happy to tell you how to go about it.
But in serious injuries where the compensation you deserve justifies the power and ability of a personal injury attorney, consider hiring an injury attorney to help maximize the money compensation you receive. The insurance company knows that if you have hired an experienced personal injury attorney you can force their hand by filing suit if necessary and proceeding to the Courthouse.
