I am so disheartened when I hear this. After an accident, many folks have good intentions of seeking what is “fair.” They are not greedy, they are not trying to get rich, they just want to be made whole. They assume the process of pursuing a claim with the insurance company should be straightforward, and that if they are honest, reasonable and cooperative, the insurance company will do the right thing. Unfortunately, this is not the case anymore. The mistake is not having good intentions, the mistake is assuming that the other side – the insurance company – is going to think and act the same.
If you have a minor accident, you don’t sustain serious injuries, and there are no lasting consequences (future medical care, future wage loss, etc.), you probably can handle a personal injury case on your own. And, maybe, you aren’t concerned about getting maximum compensation from a claim like that. However, if you sustain serious injuries, or you are concerned that your injuries will progress into something serious and lasting, I will make a bold statement here: you cannot handle this type of case on your own.
Why do I know this? I know this because I have practiced personal injury law for the last eleven years, and I have seen technology, and greed for profits, combine to create a systemic failure: insurance companies are built to deny and minimize your harms in favor of systemizing claims handling, all to retain premiums a.k.a. profits. I am sorry, but these claims and cases have become more difficult, and especially for the unrepresented party. The margin for error and inexperience has shrunk. I know this because I live it everyday. I have the experience and resources to fight insurance companies and teams of defense lawyers, and yet they still pull all kinds of shenanigans – delay tactics, lowball offers, unnecessary disputes, and aggressive defense strategies to minimize the value of human suffering. If the insurance companies fight an experienced personal injury lawyer this brutally, imagine what they’re willing to do to an unrepresented person.
