An attorney with specific experience handling DUI settlements can help you present a compelling case to the insurance company. Personal injury attorneys know what information an insurance company needs to see to make a fair offer. Additionally, by working with a lawyer, you show the insurance company that you are serious about pursuing your case. For example, the insurance company knows that if an agreement isn’t reached, an attorney can easily file a claim in court. This opens up the possibility that a judge or jury will ultimately determine the insurance company is responsible for your injuries. And because a damages award after a trial can be unpredictable, an insurance company may want to avoid this uncertainty.
