WeierLaw Injury Attorneys

Insurance adjusters are trained and skilled negotiators. Their job is to close claims as quickly and inexpensively as possible. That means they are trying to pay out the least amount of money possible on your claim. They are working for their employer’s best interest – not yours.

An experienced attorney, on the other hand, is working for you. They understand your rights, and can evaluate all the available insurance coverages and benefits. They also have the experience and tools to properly value your claim and present it to the insurance company. Your attorney will handle every aspect of processing your claim to reach the fair settlement you deserve, so you can focus on your recovery.

A contingent fee structure means that the attorney’s fee is calculated as a percentage of the recovery. The higher the recovery, the higher the fee, that also means that they do not get paid unless they help you get a settlement. This is how most Injury Attorneys charge. The advantage of the contingent fee structure is that you can hire a very good attorney without paying up front. Many people could not afford to hire an attorney if they had to pay up front. Contingent fee arrangements also mean you won’t have to stress on whether you will be able to pay for your attorney.
