Before I jump on you here, wondering what specifically you are throwing out there demeaning lawyers for the activities you are complaining about. I'm not familiar with many of those types of lawyers, personally, maybe you have some specificity to complain about?
Interesting you label the fees lawyers charge in general as being insane. I know plenty of people that rail on attorneys for what they charge, but don't give a second thought to what they pay their doctors, surgeons, or say, their insurance agents for what they actually get out of what they spend. And of course no mention of what they pay for their schooling, for double the years of most careers, and are so important to people when they REALLY need them to bail them out of a jam.
Just curious as to your present aspersion here...
Hi Chad
Not demeaning all lawyers by any means --just some in area of of the "have you are a loved one" especially in auto accidents
If I am in an accident and fault is already established--you can bet I'm not falling for the 33% plus expenses. Plaintiff is holding all the cards and can negotiate--and fact of the matter a good paralegal could do all the "standard" forms negotiating with Ins co.
If I am foolish enough for the 33% plus expenses and case is dragged on for years I really know I've been bent over--might be exception if they took it to trial for larger settlement.
In many of these cases the plaintiff is left with much less than if they'd settled with ins company after short negotiating period with attorney. I would certainly advise any after accident to retain reputable legal council--Most of them pretty well know what the top dollar will be and if they can get close quickly will settle for benefit of client.
When you start hearing, we are going to take em to the cleaners and they are on % + expense and it drags on for years--it generally not the ins co they are referring to
