If you or a loved one was recently injured due to nursing home negligence or abuse, this could be the most important letter you will ever read.
That’s because you are about to discover the one simple thing you MUST do to get a top dollar settlement from insurance companies. And here it is:
Why hire an attorney, you may ask? Let me explain in detail.
First off, it gives you the best opportunity to get ALL the money you deserve from the insurance companies. Several studies prove conclusively that hiring a personal injury attorney after a nursing home negligence or abuse injury increases your settlement.
Typically, it increases your settlement 2.5 to 3.5 times more than those who do not have a personal injury attorney.
Second, most victims who are injured from nursing home negligence or abuse don’t understand their legal rights.
And third, most negligence or abuse victims are routinely misinformed about what to do next. My strong hunch is that you may be asking one or more of these questions right now:
If you have any of these questions, it’s one more reason to hire a personal injury attorney. If you decide not to, what are the possible consequences?
For starters, stress!
Yes, you heard me right. With the added pressure of self-representation, you are more likely to heal at a much slower rate.
Plus, if you handle the case yourself, you could make a critical mistake. A mistake that ruins your case. And you know what that means? You will most likely lose money.
I’m not kidding! Insurance adjusters will mislead you about the law, will work hard to keep you from hiring an attorney and will then pay you as little as possible.
And, oh yes, let me not forget. Do-it-yourselfers and attorneys who don't focus on personal injury—can't or won't take cases to trial.
As a result, insurance companies fear nothing. Worst of all, they pay less since they know such people also miss or ignore critical issues.
So, it should come as no surprise that insurance companies hate it when a good lawyer gets involved in the case because it levels the playing field between you and the insurance company.
In other words, the shenanigans stop. And, you now have better chance of receiving fair compensation—the very thing the insurance company goes to great lengths to avoid.
And while we’re at it, insurance companies are never in a hurry to settle a claim. They don’t like to pay money. And, the longer they can hold onto your money, the better for them. In fact, they often drag their feet until they absolutely have to issue a settlement check.
The good news is that an aggressive attorney prevents insurance companies from delaying settlements. Plus, he or she helps you avoid being pushed around by their huge legal teams.
Here is another good reason to hire an attorney.
If an insurance company refuses to settle (which happens a lot,) the only way for you to collect a settlement is by filing a lawsuit.
No doubt about it, the legal system is very complex. But a skilled attorney will resolve that complexity by skillfully managing your claim through the court system.
What’s more, your attorney may end up being the only weapon you have to persuade insurance companies to take you seriously and pay up when the money is due.
For all these reasons, it makes good sense to have a personal injury attorney on your side to successfully fight the insurance company with all their resources. And when you hire one, you’re well on your way to getting ALL the money you deserve. But don’t take my word for it.
According to one statistical study conducted at the Columbia Law School, the claimant who retains an attorney improves his chances of recovery.
In addition, the increment to the victim who retains an attorney is large enough so that, even after the attorney's fee is deducted, he will NET more than if he had handled the case himself.
Insurance companies seem willing to pay claimants, when they retain attorneys, a sufficient increment to more than cover the attorney's cost. In other words, in the tough test of the marketplace, the contingent fee seems to prove its worth.
Additional support is found in a 1994 study by the Insurance Research Council which shows that, on average, claims resolved without an attorney settled for $9,000 less.
According to that study the average settlement when no lawyer was involved was $3,262.00 compared to $11,939.00 when a lawyer handled the case. The difference: $8,677.00. A little arithmetic shows that, after deducting a typical contingency fee and some costs the represented party made out better, much better.
