Have you noticed all the ads on television for personal Injury lawyers? The ads run daily so they must generate business. There’s are at least five or six law firms with commercials about personal injury lawsuits. They all claim how easy it is to sue the insurance company for just about anything related to your accident or injury. I mean, I get that you have a right to recover your loss through a lawsuit, but the ad gives the impression that it’s a way to get rich.
Is a fender bender justification for a lawsuit? We used to call these lawyers ambulance chasers. I totally understand that if you have an injury from an accident a lawsuit may be the only way to recover financially, but these ads paint a different picture. It almost sounds like breaking a fingernails justifies a two hundred thousands dollar payout. No need to work when you can sue your way to riches.
These companies tout how easy it is. Just pick up the phone, no need to go into their office, no money required. If you don’t get paid they don’t get paid. It seems too easy and it’s appealing, but is it right? It’s an entitlement issue, something that’s been engrained in our brain. Do we have the right to profit just because we can sue without a financial risk. I can’t give you a blanket answer because each case is different, but the ads are swarmy and target our desire to get rich.
All I’m saying is we need a vehicle to recover for injuries which is why these companies exist, but abusing their service to gain riches should not be the goal. “Just Saying . . .”
