Whether or not you should bring a claim for personal injury depends

5/11/2014

 
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: 

Hello everybody, this is Robert Mansour, and today's video we're going to talk about whether or not bringing a personal injury case is worth it.

 Some clients find that it's not worth their time.  They come to my initial consultation and say, one client recently said "well, listen, if I don't get $10,000 dollars in my pocket after all is said and done, then this is not worth it for me.  So what do you think?"  

I told him "well, then it's not worth it for you because I can't guarantee the result in your case.  Your case probably won't be worth anywhere near $10,000 dollars.  I don't know.  But I certainly can't guarantee you some kind of result."

So if you're looking for a guaranteed result, you shouldn't waste your time because there's too many variables when it comes to these kinds of cases.  So in some ways, if you have a number in mind, you need to let go of that number or just not proceed at all.  

Other clients say "look, I'm not in this for the money.  I don't really care.  I don't want to make a million dollars.  I just want to get fair compensation.  I just want somebody to pay for my medical bills and maybe a little bit in my pocket, and certainly pay the attorney for his or her time." 

Some clients, it's just worth it for them so they don't have to deal with the insurance company.   Now in that case, it might be worth it for you as well.

But you need to talk about these things with your attorney and you need to kind of talk about your expectations.  You need to have a lawyer who will give you a realistic expectation and not just tell you anything you want to hear simply to get the case.  Because here's the thing.  Some lawyers know that they're going to make money regardless of the case that they take and they don't really have their client's best interest in mind.

If a lawyer's going to tell you something like "hey, I'm not really sure this is going to be worth your effort and worth your time, and these are some of the things that might go wrong with your case", that's a lawyer you should listen to because they're giving you a realistic assessment and not just painting a rosy picture for you.

So whether it's worth it or not kind of depends on your own expectations. 

Make sure you talk with your lawyer, and then you can make an educated decision. 

Again, this has been Robert Mansour.  If you want to learn more about my practice or ask me some questions regarding personal injury, all of my contact information is located below on the screen.  You can also visit my website at www.valencialawyer.com.
