Study Confirms: Injury Victims With A Lawyer Get Settlements 3.5 Times Larger
In 2014, the Insurance Research Council released a research report entitled, “Attorney Involvement in Auto Injury Claims.”
The study confirmed that, on average, injury victims who were represented by a lawyer received settlements more than 3.5 times larger than those who settled on their own (without a lawyer).
This finding mirrors the results of previous studies done by the insurance industry (some date as far back as the late 20th century).
An Example
Accordingly, if an insurance company paid someone not represented by a lawyer $10,000 dollars, then a person with the exact same injury who was represented by a lawyer would likely receive around $35,000 dollars.
That is an extra $25,000 in settlement dollars.
| Settlement Without Lawyer | $10,000 |
| Settlement With Lawyer | $35,000 |
| Difference | $25,000 |
Of course, there is a fee for hiring an injury lawyer. At Creekside Injury Law, we only get paid when you get paid.
Therefore, you will not pay us anything up-front. Instead, we will work to get you the largest settlement possible and then we will get a percentage of the settlement.
Most injury lawyers take 33.34% of the settlement. However, we normally only take 30% of the settlement.
Here’s how it looks:
| Settlement Without Lawyer | $10,000 |
| Settlement With Lawyer | $35,000 |
| Increase | $25,000 |
| Creekside Injury Law’s % | 30% |
| Settlement After Our Fees | $24,500 |
| Increase After Our Fees | $14,500 |
As you can see, even with our legal fees, the total settlement is $14,500 dollars larger than settling an injury case without our help.
