Law firms are good at scaring you into thinking you need an attorney. Meanwhile, insurance companies are good at telling you that you don't, while they offer a settlement that is usually much less than you should accept. Who is right? The truth is somewhere in the middle. Some cases definitely need an attorney, but most cases require little more than glorified secretarial work. The value that an attorney adds to the equation in such cases is captured in this book, along with guidance for how to process the secretarial work. You will do better than the initial offer from the insurance company. Simple math shows that even if an attorney got the insurance company to pay even more, that doesn't necessarily mean more money in your pocket. Their 33.33% fee is pretty steep! Example: In a typical case that settles for $25,000, the attorney will take about $8,000, leaving you $17,000. Even if you settle for $20,000, that's three thousand more dollars in your pocket, for about 10 hours of work, on average ($300/hr). Not a bad payday! But this book also points out when you do need a lawyer. So even if you already know you need a lawyer, this book will help you get the absolute best result from that relationship.
