Tucson Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal Injury lawyers endure a bad renown as ambulance chasers.

Some instances of personal injury lawyers apparently getting away with murder are numerous, such as a patron in a supermarket ignores the "Caution Wet floor" signs and slips on her high heels and twists her ankle. She promptly consults a lawyer and lays a claim against the store for $100,000 for negligence, hospital bills, pain and suffering, since it was a Tuesday and her maiden aunt had bad headache that day. The store's supermarket owner or their insurance discounts the frivolities and offers her $5,000, which she accepts.
Litigation is expensive and in this case the store and its personal liability insurer knew that the legal costs in mounting a defense would far exceed $10,000 so getting away with $5,000 is a bargain. Thus it cost them a lot less to settle the affair before it got anywhere near a courtroom.
