- The most common type of car accident is a rear-ender at low speeds that results in whiplash, but finding a personal injury lawyer to take your low-impact, soft-tissue personal injury case on a contingency fee may be a lot harder than you think... In this week’s Whiteboard Wednesday (Part 1 of 2), Matt explains why attorneys may not be interested.
This happened to a friend of mine in jury selection. A guy in the panel told her he hates lawyers, he hated her. all of "these people" are "fakers," and there's no way he could ever find for her client. This led to thunderous applause from the rest of the potential jurors.
OMG this is brilliant segment.
He should charge CLE fees for this, all of it free on the internet! Secrets of the trade, I learned a ton.
Sounds like a niche for paralegals to practice in the same capacity as nurse practitioners do currently.
Need a document or stupid that states people can and are hurt in low impact auto accidents
What, attorney not being straight with people! That can't be.!
Would u take a case to trial if i was rear ended and got pushed into the car in front of me, car was a total loss, sustaining head and neck injuries, bloody nose chipped tooth and 3 months of chrio, pkus a police report that says the other person is at fault, plus my 911 call?
This is an answer coming from someone who is an injury adjuster for an automobile insurance company.
A quick thing of note is your car can be totaled base on the repairs vs value of the car. If you drive a car that's worth 1k then your car being totaled is a mute point - what matters is really the photos of your vehicle and what exactly was damaged on your vehicle - mainly was the impact bar/energy absorber damaged - if not your claim will almost always be denied
I would say it depends on what you are looking for in your settlement dollar wise.
If you can prove you had a bloody nose and took pictures of your nose at the time it will help your case, if you didnt do this it's likely that you will be doubted that you had one (a phrase we commonly say is pictures or it didn't happen).
For the chip tooth same scenario as the bloody nose.
For chiropractic 3 months that really isint valued high since we usually look down on chiropractors since we view they dont make you get better they only make you feel better.
Having medical records can prove the bloody nose and chipped tooth however photos are really the best. I've gone from increasing a value of bloody nose from 250 without photos to 3k with photos since I could see how bad it was.
Your call to the police and the police report are useless if responsibility is not denied unless there is aggravated liability (the at fault party getting cited for something like DUI's, hit and run, ect).
