A personal injury case is not the lottery!
There are some people out there who still believe that a personal injury case is going to make them rich! Like they’ve hit the mother lode – won the lottery. I have bad news – You’re not going to get rich from your personal injury case. This is a huge myth that needs to be dispelled immediately.
The law allows adequate compensation – the law doesn’t say you will be able to retire due to a personal injury case. That’s not to say some people don’t collect significant amounts, but that’s because their case is worth a good deal of money – not because they won a lottery of some sort!
