Long Island accident lawyers explain why some accidents can be handeled without a lawyer and why some require the hiring of a experience personal injury lawyer

You definitely do not need an attorney for every injury case. In fact, our office does not even accept cases where there’s little or no property damage or the injuries are minor or small. Why not? Simple. In the small case, the attorney fee and costs might leave little or nothing for you after your medical bills are paid, and we don’t believe that would be fair to you. We must do a cost benefit analysis on each case. If the injury is small, the recovery is small. Each case must be assessed to make sure the injury justifies the litigation costs. If your case is small, perhaps we can handle it without litigation at the “claim stage.” If we decline your case, we can also give you advice on how to handle it by yourself.

Did you know that a recent study found that insurance companies pay higher settlements to injured people who use an attorney than those who do not?

It’s true. The insurance industry performed a study to find out if people who had accident claims received more money in settlement by using an attorney than those people who settled on their own. The study was performed by the Insurance Research Council, a non-profit organization that is supported by leading property and casualty insurance companies across the United States. The mission of the IRC (IRCweb.org) is to advance the insurance industry’s view on matters crucial to insurance companies. The IRC found that people who used an attorney received, on average, 3 ½ times more money in settlement than those individuals who settled on their own.
