How Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Help Maximize My Settlement

Personal injury law is going to help maximize your settlement because, one, we know every bit of evidence the insurance adjuster wants to see. We know how to get it—even if it’s not readily available to you—and we know how to put it together in a package that’s going to speak to the insurance adjuster. Two, you need to realize that the adjuster doesn’t have carte blanche to make a decision on your case. Most of the time, the insurance adjuster is being controlled to some extent by an algorithm that the insurance company will set up. The most common one is Colossus, if you look that up, but there are others out there. The point being—your attorney needs to know how to speak to that computer algorithm so that it’s spitting out a value of your settlement that then, in turn, forces the insurance adjuster to reach that higher level, even if they wouldn’t have been inclined to originally.
