Do I get more money with a personal injury lawyer?

Yes. Studies consistently show that people who hire personal injury lawyers recover significantly more than those who don't, even after paying attorney fees. Insurance industry research indicates that represented claimants receive settlements 3 to 3.5 times higher on average than unrepresented claimants. Why? Attorneys know the true value of claims, understand how to document damages, and can threaten litigation if insurers won't pay fairly. Insurance companies also know which claimants have lawyers willing to take them to court and they offer better settlements accordingly. The difference is most dramatic in severe injury cases, where proper documentation of lifetime damages, future medical needs, and lost earning capacity can increase case value by millions. At Kane Trial Law, our track record of million-dollar jury verdicts in catastrophic injury cases means insurance companies know we're serious, which translates to stronger settlements for our clients.
