Monheit Law: Uninsured Motorist Lawsuits : UM Articles : 2005-04-18 : Article Insurance adjuster, settlement offer, compensation by hiring a lawyer, the lawyer will take one-third, Is this true?
Keep in mind that a lawyer can often negotiate on your behalf and has experiences that you do not necessarily have in such situations. Lawyers handle these cases often.
In addition, if you have a settlement offer from the other driver's insurance company, some lawyers will take your case for a percentage of the amount recovered above and beyond what the insurance company offered. Thus, your fee will be much less than one-third of the total.
The lawyer often will not take a fee on the amount the insurance company offered you before you had a lawyer. This is a trick many insurance adjusters use to keep you from going to an experienced personal injury lawyer, and finding out what fair compensation for your case really should be.
Michael Monheit, Esquire of Monheit Law, P.C.
Were you told by your insurance company that "you should not contact an attorney?" Are you unhappy with the settlement amount that your insurance company gave you? Even if you already settled your case, you may be entitled to bring a claim against your insurance carrier if they gave you bad advice. In fact, if you settled with your own insurance company, without consulting an
attorney we want to know why?
