How much money can I save by settling the claim myself?

You will save a lot of money by eliminating the attorney.

SCC believes that the greatest benefit of using a do-it-yourself approach to achieve a satisfactory settlement of your claim is that YOU CAN SAVE A LOT OF MONEY! This is because you can do most everything the attorney will do, and more, in most cases-at no cost to you whatsoever. It is fairly standard for attorneys to undertake an injury claim on a 1/3 contingent fee basis, i.e. they will charge you, as their fee, 1/3 of your insurance compensation settlement. SettlementCentral.Com can assist you and that 33?% will be put back into YOUR wallet.

The attorney may be able to achieve more than the value that you are able to negotiate, if he/she should take the claim to court. However in that case you can expect substantial delays in terms of years, more visits to the attorney's office, more time off work for depositions, arbitration and/or trial, substantially increased medical costs because of attorney consultations with your doctor and testimony costs. In order for you to achieve the net award that you would have received in your own settlement of say $9,000, the attorney would have to achieve a trial award in excess of $20,000! That is not a likely result. No one pays you for your time off from work to go to the attorney's office, to prepare for and attend depositions, to attend the trial, to attend the arbitration, or to attend another trial should the insurance company appeal. No one pays you for the doctor's expenses in talking to the attorney prior to deposition, in consulting with the attorney prior to trial or for the doctor's expenses in attending the trial. All of that money is taken off of your award for pain and suffering.

Please note that handing your case over to an attorney will likely not result in a savings of time or effort on your part. Whether you use an attorney or do it yourself through SettlementCentral.Com, you still have to:

Gather the same basic information
See the same doctors
Assimilate the same information in outline form (yours or the attorney's)
Keep the same confidential diary

How much more of my time will I have to put into it to settle the claim myself?

Handing your case over to an attorney will likely not result in a savings of time or effort on your part. Whether you use an attorney or do it yourself through SettlementCentral.Com, you still have to:

Gather the same basic information

In fact, you will likely find that your time driving back and forth from the attorney's office, waiting in the "waiting room", meeting with the staff, and meeting with the attorney is more time consuming and life disrupting than simply doing the settlement yourself with the assistance of the SettlementCentral.Com.

Whether you hire an attorney or use a do-it-yourself approach, you will be required to devote some time to your claim for damages in order to achieve a satisfactory settlement. If you hire an attorney, that attorney will give you certain tasks to perform so that he can be prepared to negotiate an insurance injury claim settlement on your behalf. There is no way around this!

Remember, without your participation, an attorney or the attorney's staff cannot magically produce the history of your motor vehicle accident, dog bite, slip and fall, or your subsequent treatment. Will the attorney or the attorney's staff know all of the facts of your claim better than you? OF COURSE NOT! The reality of the practice of law is that you will have to communicate all of the information relevant to your injury compensation claim to the attorney and the attorney's staff; you will have to fill out their office forms, and, in the event that a new attorney or staff member is assigned to your case, you may have to repeat that process all over again. In some case you will actually SAVE time by settling the claim yourself.
