The times when a Personal Injury Lawyer can really be a help
Personal damage lawyers endure a bad reputation as ambulance chasers. They are portrayed in movies and the media as half drunk no hopers who hassle for business among the injured at the scene of a car crash. Notwithstanding, they have managed to provide relief for many who have been caught in a car crash and whose chances of getting a decent settlement out of an insurance company is slim.
There are cases seem and reported where a patron in a supermarket ignores the “Caution Wet floor” signs and slips and cracks her elbow. She promptly consults a personal injury lawyer and lays a claim against the store for $100,000 for negligence, hospital bills, pain and suffering, because it was a Tuesday and her maiden aunt had bad headache that day. The stores supermarket discounts the frivolities and offers her $10,000, which she accepts.
Litigation is expensive and in this case the store and its personal liability insurer were aware that the legal costs would be far higher than the $10,000. Thus it cost them a lot less to settle the affair before it got anywhere near a courtroom. They would get the plaintiff to sign that she would not talk so that stores are not inundated with similar frivolous suits. This is the kind of case which, when it comes to light, raises public wrath at the insult to justice, as well as giving the “Personal damage” legal representatives a bad reputation.
