PAOLI AND PURDY WANT YOU TO HAVE THE FACTS ABOUT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS 

FACT: Any competent law firm worth your time will take your case on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless they recover a settlement on your behalf.


FACT: All personal injury law firms will provide a free consultation.


FACT: It is important to know that many awards that law firms claim in their TV, radio and internet advertising are paid marketing tools used to project an image of experience and ability to you, the customer.


FACT: Not all personal injury attorneys are trial attorneys. They are not competent enough to take your case to court should the insurance company fail to fairly negotiate your claim.


FACT: Red flag! The law firm you hired off the radio may not be the attorney assigned to your case.


FACT: The majority of personal injury attorneys who incessantly advertise on TV, radio, and the internet often times operate as mills, or attorney referral services. Their goal is to sign up as many cases as possible, "cherry pick" the most promising, then farm out the cases to other firms who actually do the work.


FACT: Clients represented in mass advertising campaigns on TV, radio and the internet are, in many cases, paid actors. In addition, lawyers in this type of advertising may not themselves be licensed to practice law in the state of California.


FACT: Some advertising attorneys claim size matters. Your case could get lost in the shuffle.

Understanding Damages

When you have a personal injury case, there are various things that you may have suffered as a result of your injury. These include loss of work and income, high medical expenses, pain, suffering, and even mental anguish. As a result, there are three different types of damages that are available to you: Economic, Non-Economic, and Punitive Damages. 

PAOLI AND PURDY WANT YOU TO HAVE THE FACTS ABOUT INSURANCE COMPANIES

FACT: Insurance companies are not your friend.


FACT: An insurance company's sole motivation is to collect premiums and deny claims.


FACT: The insurance company for the individual responsible for your injury wants to minimize your claim, take advantage of your injury and force you to settle for less before you hire an attorney.


FACT: Anything you say in a recorded statement given to an insurance company will be used to devalue your claim.


FACT: Insurance companies use algorithms to access the value of your case. Your personal injury and the impact that it has had on your life, employment and family are not taken into consideration.
