Why Handling Your Own Personal Injury Claim is a Terrible Idea

Potential clients involved in an accident or injury claim that seek legal help or free advice from my law firm frequently ask this question--If I hire a lawyer and have to pay attorneys' fees, won't I end up getting less money in the end?

Nothing is guaranteed--however, I cannot remember a time when I had a client who, at first, was handling a claim on their own or was just about to settle with the insurance when they came to me with many questions and reservations about hiring a lawyer.  They trusted our law firm, and it proved to be worth it in the end.

A couple of questions should come to your mind (1) if you were in need of surgery, would you try to do the surgery yourself ? , (2) do you really have what it takes to take on Big Insurance and an insurance claims adjuster who handles thousands of claims a year?

Remember, the insurance adjuster is not under oath when they are dealing with you and they are frequently trained to do absolutely everything in their power to deny your injury claim or pay you as little as possible.  If you are thinking if it does not work out, I can always hire a lawyer later--think again. Commonly, people come in after trying to handle their injury claim with the "do it yourself" approach by giving the insurance company a statement unfavorable to their claim and missing crucial damages they are entitled to under the law. 

If you have an injury lawyer or law firm who works your claim diligently and aggressively, your decision to hire a lawyer is more often than not worth the time.  While most people are concerned about their property damage, I remind potential clients that vehicles can always be replaced, but you only get one body during your lifetime, if you do not look out for your health, who will?

Abraham Lincoln once said, "A man who represents himself has a fool for a client."  If you have legal questions or need help or need legal advice with your personal injury claim, feel free to email or call me - mn@fnlawfirm.com or 1.866.705-7584.

A second SUV hit another car, causing the SUV to flip in the middle of the freeway. An oncoming 18-wheeler then rear-ended the overturned SUV.

Neither the driver of the second SUV nor the driver of the 18-wheeler were injured.

Houston police officer seriously injured in car accident by drunk drivers

Houston police officer Lloyd Morrison II was critically injured in a car accident that took place over Memorial Day weekend. Office Morrison’s patrol car was struck by two separate vehicles. The collisions left him pinned against a fire truck.

The accident occurred shortly after Officer Morrison arrived on the scene of a single-car accident that took place on Interstate 45 at approximately 3:30 am on Saturday, May 23rd. While the officer was still in his patrol car, it was struck by a vehicle driven by 28-year-old Moroof Kareem.

The officer got out of his patrol car to assess the damage. He was then struck by a Ford Escort being driven by Richard Sandoval, 22. As a result, Officer Morrison was pinned between the Escort and a fire truck which was already on the scene.

Officer Morrison suffered two broken legs and serious injuries to his right arm. He appeared to respond well to the surgery he underwent on Sunday, May 24th. Officer Morrison will require extensive rehabilitation to fully recover from the injuries.

Both drivers have been accused of drunk driving. Kareem has already posted bail on a DUI charge. Sandoval is expected to be charged with intoxication assault. 

Officer Morrison’s harrowing experience shows us that anyone, at any time, can become the innocent victim of a horrific car accident.
