According to the Insurance Research Council, more people are calling lawyers than ever before following a personal injury, accident or wrongful death case.

After all, there has to be a reason why accident victims are seeking legal help and not going it alone. Here’s why we believe these numbers have spiked recently.
Insurance companies make a lot of money. In fact, it’s one of the most lucrative industries in the U.S. Their business model is simple. You convince consumers to purchase insurance from your company by promising to be on their side or hold them in good hands when the unexpected happens. You collect premiums until that day comes and then pay them as little as possible for their claim. If you take in more premiums than you pay out in claims, you could stand to make billions in profit every year. That is exactly what Insurance companies do year after year.

Sometimes accident victims decide to settle their own personal injury cases. If you had very minor injuries, no significant medical expenses, and are confident that your injuries have completely healed, you may not need a personal injury lawyer. If you have a serious injury caused by the negligence of another person, however, you are more likely to lose money than to save money by handling the claim yourself.
Over our 35 years of helping victims and their families get their lives back on track after a catastrophic accident, one of the tools we use quite often is a structured settlement. These are used when the injuries and damages are so severe that the victim is entitled to payments over a long period of time, sometimes for the life of the client.
