Now, I get it—hiring a lawyer might seem like an extra cost, but today, I’m breaking down the REAL cost of going it alone versus having an experienced injury lawyer by your side. Trust me, there’s more to it than you think.
And I realize In the age of Google and YouTube tutorials, it may be tempting to handle your injury claim yourself. You may be thinking, ‘How hard could it be to settle a claim? The insurance company should just pay what I’m owed, right?’
But the reality is that insurance companies LOVE when you handle things on your own. Why? Because when you do it yourself, they know they’re holding all the cards.
In this video I will discuss 5 reasons it’s best to hire an injury lawyer as opposed to handling it yourself.
Reason #1 – Injury Lawyers Know How To Calculate The Value Of Your Case
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a lawyer is that we know how to value your case. You see, injury cases aren’t just about medical bills. There’s lost wages, past and future pain and suffering, future medical expenses, and damages for impairment to your ability to earn in the future if you sustained a significant injury.
If you handle the claim yourself, the insurance company might lowball you, offering just enough to cover your hospital bills but ignoring all the long-term impacts of your injury. We make sure you’re getting compensated for all your damages.

Reason #2 – The Insurance Company Feels No Pressure Unless You Hire An Injury Lawyer
When you don’t have a lawyer, the insurance company feels no pressure.
They know that the vast majority of people don’t know how to file a lawsuit or litigate their case. And if they think you won’t take them to court, why should they offer you a fair settlement?”
They will drag their feet, delay your claim, and offer you the lowest amount possible because they know you probably won’t fight back if you don’t have a lawyer.
But, if you are represented by an injury lawyer, the insurance company will take your claim more seriously.
They know there is a chance their company or their insured will get sued.
[Reason #4 – Injury lawyers know how to handle your case
We know how to negotiate, we know how to file lawsuits, how to litigate, and how to put pressure on the insurance company.
When the insurance companies realize you’re ready to take them to court, they will most likely start singing a very different tune at some point during the litigation process.
“Insurance companies don’t want to go to trial if it’s too risky for them.
It’s costly, time-consuming, and risky for them. That’s why, when a lawyer steps in, settlements tend to get much higher—because they know we may take the case the distance.”
Reason #5 – Injury Lawyers Know How TO Negotiate
Here’s another key point: Injury lawyers know how to negotiate. We handle injury claims all the time. We know the tactics insurance companies use to undervalue your claim, and we know how to counter their tactics.
It’s highly likely you will only get the maximum settlement possible only if you have an injury lawyer.
So, what’s the real cost of going it alone versus hiring a lawyer? Sure, you might think you’re saving money by avoiding legal fees, but when you add up the lowball offers, the delays, the frustration, and the lack of pressure, doing it yourself can cost you way more in the long run.”
Injury cases are complicated, and insurance companies aren’t out to give you a fair deal. They’re out to save money. Hiring a lawyer not only helps you get the compensation you deserve, but it also puts pressure on the insurance companies to treat you fairly.
Plus, every single injury lawyer I know offers free consultations to injury victims and never charges a fee unless they win your case and get you a financial recovery.
You don’t have any upfront costs to pay an injury lawyer so there is no financial burden to you to consult with an injury lawyer to see if hiring a lawyer makes sense for you.
Now that you know many reasons why hiring an injury lawyer is the best route to go as opposed to trying to handle your case yourself, you may be thinking to yourself that I’m wrong in your particular case because the injury claims adjuster assigned to your case seems nice and trustworthy.
