Car accident attorney gets more cash in settlement

Having an attorney represent you after a car accident means a higher cash settlement.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, US, February 19, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A study by the Insurance Research Council said settlements to people represented by an attorney are 40 percent higher than those without. Furthermore, 85 percent of claims paid for body injuries go to people with an attorney, the report shows.

“You may wonder if you can trust this study. This is information from an insurance industry research group. Insurance companies are not in the business of paying money for claims. The companies are in business to make a profit,” said LA attorney Simon Etehad. “The insurance industry wants to know how it can lower payouts and increase profits. So, they study car accidents and claims to see where they have to pay out the most money.”

With that in mind, Etehad said it just makes sense to have an attorney represent accident victims. Beyond the increased payout, legal representation is a good idea for a few more reasons, he said.

1) Paperwork

Filling out paperwork after an accident can take a while. Furthermore, if the paperwork is late, filed wrong or has incorrect information, it can affect any payout.

2) Arguing with the other side.

“Insurance companies do not like to pay out money. The have adjusters and lawyers who are experts at arguing people down. It is what they do,” Mr. Etehad said. “Accident attorneys are used to this and can see through the nonsense.”

3) Time

Filing insurance claims, dealing with agents and the paperwork takes a lot of time. Mr. Etehad said an accident attorney has the time to do this while an accident victim probably does not.

“You have a job. You have a life. You have things you need to do. You do not need to spend all your spare time dealing with the after effects of an accident,” he said. “Let the attorney handle it.”
