Personal Injury Claim Statistics

According to the National Safety Council, 4.8 million medically consulted injuries caused by motor-vehicle crashes totaled 4.8 million in 2020. In addition, the motor-vehicle injury costs were estimated at $473.2 billion. The financial recovery you receive through a personal injury settlement can often cover these costs. In the NSC study, costs included:

• Wage and productivity losses
• Medical expenses
• Administrative expenses
• Motor-vehicle property damage
• Employer costs

A 2004 study by the Insurance Research Council, which provides research and insights into public policy issues facing the insurance industry, found that hiring a personal injury lawyer resulted in a 3.5 times higher settlement payout and that 85 percent of insurance settlements involved an attorney.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

We get this question a lot because people wonder where the advantage lies in hiring a personal injury lawyer. I put together this list of what I do as an accident attorney and how my team and I can potentially help maximize your case’s value.

1. Gather and preserve evidence to build a stronger case.

2. Negotiate with insurance companies.

3. Hire experts to help prove liability, determine future costs, and calculate lost earnings to help maximize the value of your case.

4. Identify all possible sources of compensation after someone is injured.

5. Take your case to trial if an insurance company refuses to pay a fair settlement.

6. Set up liens against your medical bills so they won’t go into collections while you wait for your settlement money.

7. At the end of your case, our legal team can attempt to negotiate to reduce your medical liens.

8. Client-focused injury lawyers will take everything off your plate so you can focus on healing while they focus on your case.

What Questions Should I Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer Before I Hire Them?

If you decide to hire a personal injury lawyer, here are questions you should ask them before signing any paperwork.

1. Do you exclusively practice personal injury law? Or do you juggle family law, criminal law, real estate closings, etc...?

2. Do you have experience with this type of case?

3. Will you be the actual attorney working on my file?

4. What resources will you devote to my case?

5. What steps will you take to make sure I am kept informed?

6. What results have you achieved for previous clients?

7. What do your previous clients have to say about you?
