Shamieh Law Makes the Fight Even For Lousiana Car Accident Victims
What most people don’t realize is the injury claims process is designed to be a negotiation.
The insurance company will always low-ball the injury victim. If they accept, the insurance company saves money. If not, the standard process begins.
Unfortunately, every year, thousands of accident victims in Louisiana accept settlements far below what their claims are actually worth, simply because they didn’t know any better.
Injury Victims Who Hire An Attorney Receive 340% Higher Settlements on Average
Studies show that injury victims without an attorney receive an average of only $17,600.
With an attorney, that average jumps to $77,600.
That’s a $60,000 difference, and even after attorney fees, victims who hire an attorney still walk away with nearly 3X more money on average.
The insurance company knows this.
That’s why their first offer to unrepresented victims comes quickly and averages 40-60% below the actual value of the claim. And nearly 75% of people without an attorney accept it.
What makes things worse is that more than 60% of accident victims develop injuries that don’t show up for days or even weeks after the crash.
In fact, one study found that 55% of people involved in rear-end collisions were still dealing with symptoms eight years later.
If you’ve already accepted a settlement before those injuries reveal themselves, you can never go back and ask for more. That door is permanently closed.
We fight to make sure that you are fully compensated for your injuries, so that you never find yourself in this situation, and can fully recover and move on with your life without worrying about how you will pay for the consequences of someone else’s mistake.
