The truth is that not all cases need a lawyer. If there's minor property damage, no dispute over
who's at fault, and very minor injuries, you could probably handle a case like that yourself.
I created a tool called SettleSmart that allows you yourself to just walk through the personal
injury case, identify the things that might have happened to you, and submit a claim to the
insurance company yourself. I offer that service to people for a flat fee so you don't have to
share a contingency and you get to keep all the money yourself. If your case is more complex,
meaning there's a dispute over who's at fault, there's complex injuries that are connected
maybe to pre-existing conditions, or there's some catastrophic losses that really need time to play
out, then an attorney could be really helpful to make sure that you can find all the coverage
that's available to compensate you and make all the proper legal arguments that you need to make
in order to maximize your results.
