New E-book Uses David vs. Goliath Story to Improve Understanding of Personal Injury Cases

People injured in serious accidents such as car crashes, truck wrecks, or workplace accidents often mistakenly trust that the insurance company and other corporations will treat them fairly. They don’t realize that they are up against a large corporation that is focused on protecting its profit margin at the expense of injured people.

Large corporations use a variety of delay tactics and tricks to deny or minimize valid injury claims to save money. Insurance adjusters try to discourage accident victims from hiring an attorney. They seek to wear down injured people who are in pain and financial distress and pressure them to accept puny settlements or just give up.

Beating big corporations requires careful preparation to demonstrate liability, injuries, and damages. It’s critical to have an attorney start collecting information such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and other potential evidence as soon as possible before the evidence deteriorates or is lost.

If you have been seriously injured in an accident, it’s difficult to estimate your losses, particularly if you are still receiving medical treatment. Most people undervalue their actual losses. Many get shortchanged by insurance companies. It’s a tactical mistake to deal with the insurer directly and provide an estimate of your losses. It undermines your power to negotiate. Insurance adjusters are trained negotiators, and you should have an experienced attorney negotiating on your behalf to have the best chance of getting full value for your claim.

Just as the shepherd boy David selected five smooth stones to put in his slingshot, you need a skilled attorney who follows the five strategies for success—a preliminary strategy, early and thorough preparation, recruitment of an army of experts, knowledge of the defense and shepherding the client. Success is never guaranteed when taking on a larger opponent. but having a fighting chance to succeed requires following the process of developing a game plan and thorough preparation.

Highly skilled personal injury attorneys have established ways of preparing cases and pursuing success according to proven methods. Contacting the right law firm as soon as possible after a serious accident is a key to protecting your rights. A highly skilled attorney will act quickly to preserve evidence and thoroughly prepare your case as if it’s going to trial. Most cases are settled out of court. But thorough preparation allows the attorney to negotiate a settlement from a position of strength and to be ready for trial if the insurance company refuses to agree to a just settlement.
