Don't Fall for the Sales Gimmicks!

You've likely encountered advertisements featuring bulldogs, hammers, and offers that seem too good to be true. Many law firms employ gimmicks and costly strategies to attract accident victims by creating a false sense of security. The field of personal injury is quite straightforward, and unfortunately, insurance companies hold significant power in this industry. However, by keeping the following guidelines in mind, you can safeguard your rights and ultimately be fine.

• We don't get paid unless you win!

This is a reality in personal injury cases. Lawyers in this field work on a contingent fee basis, meaning we do not receive our payment until the insurance company settles. If someone requests money from you upfront, they are likely trying to scam you. We recommend researching thoroughly to select the law firm that best suits your needs.

• We get better results!

  The premium you chose determines the payout amount in case of an accident. In Texas, the majority of policyholders have a $30,000 policy. This indicates that the maximum your policy will cover (including hospital stays, broken bones, and even death) is $30,000. This amount does not account for the costs assigned to medical providers, ambulance services, hospitals, and lawyer's fees before you receive compensation for pain and suffering. While you have the option to sue an individual, unless they are a millionaire, the best outcome from such a lawsuit might be a judgment.

Furthermore, always examine the fine print when you encounter statements like, "We got a BILLION dollars for our client!" There is a significant distinction between obtaining a judgment, a verdict, or a settlement.

• We work harder for you!

  This isn't really a gimmick, so much as a sales tactic. There are lazy lawyers out there that will take the first low-ball offer the insurance company offers. (We are not one of those!) Do your research when choosing an attorney and choose an honest, hardworking attorney that will truly work for the best results.

• We lead the nation in...

  This indicates that we are not referring to a lawyer from TEXAS. Many lawyers from other states hire Texas attorneys to handle the difficult tasks while they reap the profits from you.

Regardless of whether you select the Le Blanc Law Firm, be cautious of the tactics some firms employ to attract car accident victims. Our primary aim is to educate you about your rights. With so much misinformation out there, the more we can do to address it, the better off the public will be.
