A quality personal injury attorney knows the surprisingly complicated ins and outs of handling one of these claims. Even if there are minimum limits, there will still be fights with medical providers and health insurance subrogation. The defendant’s minimum limits, if that’s what he has, is also not your only source of recovery. You should hopefully have underinsured motorists coverage. Even if not, I assure you that minimum limits carriers aren’t just tossing out limits offers easily, and when they are, you’re still left having fights with lienholders and subrogation interests, whose actions tend to be every bit as shady as the casualty insurers. Not having a lawyer to deal with that is short-sighted. It will burn you. Yes, I’m biased. I’m board certified in personal injury and currently the president of the Austin area trial lawyers association. There are times where there simply is not enough money to go around, and the lawyer’s fee can eat up an unreasonably large chunk of the money that’s left. One thing I have been doing throughout my practice is reducing my fees to be fair to my clients. I do not take a bigger fee than I can disburse to my client after paying off their liens, bills and case expenses. So for every dollar I have made, I have put a dollar into my clients’ pocket after paying off bills and expenses. That’s not a common practice in the field. And yes, Montgomery County sucks, but that’s not necessarily your only venue. By the way, there are two firms generally that advertise nationally for motorcycle cases. Specifically one of them is Law Tigers, which is simply like a McDonald’s franchise. You pay them for a location and you operate under their practice name. Phone calls that go to their national number are directed to you when you are in the area of the caller. The other is a California-based firm who refers out to lawyers they trust to do well, in exchange for a cut of the fee. That firm refers all their Texas cases to me. Send me a DM with your number if you’d like to talk. I can do a free phone consultation with you today. You’ll talk to me personally, not my paralegal. My firm has offices in Austin and Dallas but we try cases all over the state, and we will be in Colorado soon too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
