Why do you need a personal injury lawyer against big insurance companies
Big U.S. insurance companies don’t want you to have a lawyer. Pro Se litigants insurance claims are left with less compensation for their injuries.
December 11, 2008, Dallas, TX (AmericanInjuryNews.com)–Personal injury litigation reporters and AmericanInjuryNews.com (AIN) have learned about the recent increase in Pro Se litigants. A Pro Se litigant is someone who represents themselves in any legal action. Settling an insurance claim with your insurance company or anyone else’s carrier is a legal action. Most Americans, when asked why they don’t have an attorney represent them answer the same way, “I can’t afford a lawyer.” Recent research into self representation has indicated insurance companies play the “Deny, Delay and Defend” game with consumer claims. United States insurance companies are in most cases better off if you represent yourself with your personal injury claim. Some insurance companies go so far as to convince you not to hire your own lawyer.
Enews reporters further discussed self representation with Texas personal injury attorneys and learned their is “Comfort in Contingency” when hiring a personal injury attorney:
-It’s free to talk to a personal injury attorney
-Most personal injury attorneys work on a “Contingency” fee
-A contingency fee means the attorney is paid when they are successful with your claim.
-Insurance companies pay less in benefits when you are not represented
-Know your insurance coverage before you sign anything when unrepresented
Insurance litigation correspondents with AIN learned from top Dallas personal injury attorneys that ALL insurance companies have an attorney representing them when dealing with your claim. Why shouldn’t you have legal representation yourself? If you have been injured and are filing a claim with an insurance company consulting with a personal injury attorney may help you recover you damages.
