An accident can be a very traumatic event. An accident can leave you feeling vulnerable and at loose ends. These lawyers, or their underlings, mysteriously pop up at the scene of accidents hoping to lure the accident victim into the web of deceit spun by these poisonous spiders.
Some lawyers peruse the police reports of auto accidents.
These reports are often available for little or no charge at law enforcement agencies. They then contact the individual who appears not to have caused the accident and suggest that they pursue an injury claim. Several of my clients have received letters of this nature from other lawyers. Some lawyers have people on the streets looking for accidents. It is a simple thing to buy a radio that picks up police calls.
