As a car accident attorney, I don’t get a lot of respect. I guess this is true about most personal injury lawyers. If you work in personal injury, people assume that you are only in it to make money. The popular image of car accident attorneys is not very positive, and in some cases it is not that far off the mark. You see, there are a lot of unethical car wreck lawyers. Your typical car accident lawyer who advertises on daytime TV will do anything to make his case. He will distort the truth, and try to trick his client as well as the jury. I have even seen some of these car accident law firms that will give you cash advance settlements in exchange for a healthy chunk of what you make if you win your case. You think you’re getting a deal at the time, but you aren’t. It is just another person ripping you off.
Nonetheless, I did not become a car accident attorney because I wanted to make money. Although I do appreciate the salary that I get, I have more personal reasons than this. I would not have become a car accident attorney if not for the fact that one of my professors in college was crippled in a car wreck. The insurance company did everything they could to rip him off. He was a very smart man, but not much of a shrewd character. He didn’t have a competent car accident attorney, and as a result he got a little on the settlement. His medical bills almost destroyed his finances.
As you can see, I am not your typical car accident attorney. I even work as a pro bono attorney frequently – something which must car accident attorneys decline to do. It is my business to see that my client wins the case, but I am interested in justice being done. What allows me to have a clean conscience while being a car accident attorney is that I believe that everyone has the right to representation. My clients have as much of a right to good legal representation as the big insurance companies that will try to deny them the settlements that they deserve. In a perfect world, law would be socialized and everyone really would have equal representation. As it is, however, I try to do my part by offering discounts to clients who cannot afford my services.
