Sue and Grow Rich; How to Handle Your Own Personal Injury Claim Without an Attorney.
You're throwing your money away if you get an attorney to handle your personal injury claim if it's worth under $75,000
Despite the eye-catching title, the intent of this book is to keep you OUT of the court system and to put more settlement dollars into your pocket than you would get if you retain an attorney.
Attorneys will never tell you how easily you can handle your own personal injury claim or the fact that in 95% of the personal injury cases handled by attorneys, that it is you and the staff of law clerks, paralegals and secretaries working for the attorney who do almost all the work involved.
Three facts you must understand:
1) No insurance company ever paid substantially more than a claim was worth because there was an attorney involved;
2) More than 90% of personal injury cases are settled without a court trial;
3) Most personal injury claims are settled within 4 to 6 months of the injured party being released from the care of a doctor when that party deals directly with the insurance company. When attorneys are involved and lawsuits filed, the average time to get to the courthouse steps is 2.5 to 5-years.
Don't fall for the "bait and switch" of the attorneys who dangle a million-dollar carrot on a stick in front of you to get you to sign a retainer only to later suggest you accept the $25,000 "final offer" from the insurance company.
This book is clearly written in "people language" with examples of when there is and and when there is not liability. Also included are form letters to send to insurance companies, adjusters and the liable parties. You will see how you can get more in your pocket by settling your own claim than you would getting an attorney even when the attorney gets a higher settlement. The pie charts tell the whole story.
Learn about who is liable for your injuries; How in some cases the other party is liable for your injuries as a matter of law; How to find "hidden" defendants; How to get all the advice on personal injury law and procedure you need direct from attorneys online, for FREE; How to keep a professional file; How to deal with your doctor without an attorney; See a sample of the kind of report your doctor should submit to show your injuries.
