How Choosing the Right Attorney Can Affect Your Ohio Personal Injury Claim

Insurance Companies Keep Track of Attorney's Track Record. How Choosing the Right Attorney Can Affect Your Ohio Personal Injury Claim. Most insurance companies keep careful track of the trial and settlement records of the different attorneys and law firms they deal with by doing computerized searches based on the taxpayer ID numbers. The insurance industry knows who are the "settlement lawyers" or the lawyers who may file a lawsuit into court but then always end up rolling over prior to trial. A lawyer who settles all of his or her cases for peanuts tells the insurance companies that they are no real threat and will be willing to settle most other cases for peanuts. So if your lawyer does not try personal injury cases, the insurance company knows the lawyer will settle and they will make their offer based on the fact that they know that there is no real threat behind the lawyer's demand. This is why it is important to hire an Ohio personal injury attorney who has a track record of going to trial for his clients. One famous lawyer once said, "99% of the cases are tried in court by only 3% of the lawyers." The insurance companies know who these attorneys are.

You may be thinking, "I don't want to go all the way to trial and just want to settle my Ohio personal injury case, so why would I care if my attorney settles all of his or her cases?" The answer is that when the insurance company searches your attorney and determines that he or she is just another "settlement attorney" who doesn't try cases, the insurance company will offer you a lower settlement than if you had chosen a trial attorney. In other words, the attorney you choose can affect the settlement you end up receiving. While we do try to settle cases for a fair amount, it is comforting to know that there is someone there willing to fight for you if necessary.
This is what sets Chester Law Group apart from other firms. Our clients will always have fighting for them an aggressive trial lawyer, rather than a lawyer who rarely enters the courtroom. This is why our team prepares every case for trial, even the ones that we believe may end up settling.
