For decades, personal injury lawyers have been seen as aggressive, opportunistic and unsavory characters, often being seen as simple “ambulance chasers” and professionals who have no scruples and boundaries, often purely being motivated by money. This harmful stereotype has been reinforced by Hollywood movies and the media in general, and consequently, put many people off from seeking timely legal assistance. The average American is sorely misinformed about the role of a personal injury lawyer and due to these misperceptions, may opt to think of settling with the insurance company and have nothing to do with an injury attorney. This stereotype has no basis in fact or reality, and may have been started by the very insurance companies we sometimes trust to have our backs.

In fact, all things considered, the real sharks in civil litigation and the personal injury world happen to be insurance companies and their representatives: this is an industry set to soon bring in a trillion dollars a year, and this hasn’t been achieved through ethical practices but underhanded machinations and the denial of millions of claims over the years. Injury lawyers get a bad rap, but the reality is that they exist solely to ensure you seek the justice and compensation you deserve after getting injured in a manner that is fair and equitable as you shall witness in this post. The experienced injury lawyers at McCready Law invite you to the demystification of the personal injury world so you can comfortably start the process into making all things right following your injury caused by another injured party.

Over the decades, we’ve been able to recover over $160 million and counting in compensation for our clients, and this has been achieved via the application of certain legal practices such as personally handling all claims as experienced attorneys and no delegating the work to inexperienced legal assistants or paralegals, a practice that is common in most law firms that often jeopardizes cases.

Next, we usually engage highly skilled and renowned experts in the medical, forensic science and accounting fields to ensure each case has a considerable amount of compelling evidence demonstrating causation and negligence, and that all damages are comprehensively quantified in order to recover maximum compensation for our clients.

Lastly, we take on all claims on contingency fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of the claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf.

Injury Lawyers – Far from Ambulance Chasers

The ambulance chaser stereotype is often depicted in popular culture as money-hungry and unscrupulous lawyers rushing to accident scenes in order to unethically solicit and sign up clients without caring about the well-being of the accident victim. This is a tired trope played out by the media and is talked about in casual conversation across the country even though it is untrue and against legal regulations in the country. This stereotype may make clients reluctant about seeking personal injury lawyer representation as they may feel that the lawyer is simply trying to take advantage of the or that the lawyer doesn’t truly care about them, and they may even question if they are doing something wrong by pursuing a claim.

The Role of a Personal Injury Lawyer

In reality, however, the main aim of a personal injury is to hold negligent parties accountable and seeking justice for the injured. Without personal injury lawyers, insurance companies and corporate legal teams would have no incentive to pay you what your case is worth as they have almost endless resources, crafty claims adjusters as well as sophisticated strategies who work hard at minimizing payouts and justifying the same.

Some of the vital roles played by a personal injury attorney include:

1. Navigating complex legal processes such as evidence collection, filing of motions, arbitration and mediation and the filing of all paperwork before deadlines on behalf of the client so you can focus on your recovery
2. Leveling the playing field by standing up to insurance company and corporate legal teams and ensuring that their tactics are rebuffed, all in an effort to ensure you receive fair and complete compensation
3. Carrying out investigations and gathering evidence via the application of resources and hiring medical experts, accident reconstructionists and other professionals in order to build a formidable case on your behalf.
4. Accurate valuing a claim by calculating the full extent of damages by taking into account the future impact of your injuries as well as making sure that your pain and suffering and any potential disability is compensated and accounted for.
