Why you shouldn't ridicule personal accident attorneys

Personal injury lawyers suffer from a bad reputation as they are often portrayed as seeking fortunes in other's misfortune. However, for many who have suffered trauma in an accident caused by someone else, be it another motorist or someone who accidently knocks them over and they fall down a flight of stairs, personal injury lawyers could prove invaluable.

There is a fair amount of ridicule when a woman on a crowded bus, forced to stand for lack of seating, twists her ankle falling when the bus is forced to brake hard to avoid a collision with a swerving car in front. She issues writ against the bus company for $50,000 for wrongful injury as they had failed to provide a seat for her or adequate safety equipment. The bus company refers to their insurers who are aware that litigation is expensive and, although defensible, it would be cheaper for them to settle for under $10,000 than to defend the action. They offer $2,500 and settle on $5,000. The women herself suffers some slight discomfort but is back at work a day later. This is seen as milking the insurance companies.

But the other side of the coin is very important. There are many cases where innocent people get hit by another vehicle whose driver was talking on a mobile phone and failed to stop at a red light. The injuries are horrendous including cuts and bruises to the face and upper body and a broken wrist. But they are a computer programmer and have to uses their hands to make a living. Thus not only are they potentially disfigured but they are also deprived of a means to earn their living.

This is where the Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorney comes in. If the injured was to attempt to make a claim on his own, he is likely to be refused by the other party's insurance company, who will then spend an unreasonable amount of time trying to find cause to either refute the claim, or at least share the blame for the accident, thus reducing their liability.
