Novi, MI (PRWEB) June 19, 2010 –
Most personal injury attorneys constantly grapple with how to do a better job settling cases quicker and for more money. Now, Steven M. Gursten, who is recognized as one of the nation?s top attorneys handling auto accident cases, is answering those questions. Gursten is moderating and speaking at a Michigan Association for Justice Seminar aimed at teaching lawyers exactly how to settle personal injury cases for more money.
?This legal seminar has more than a catchy name,? says Gursten, managing partner of Farmington Hills-based Michigan Auto Law, which exclusively handles car accident, truck accident and motorcycle accident cases throughout the state.?It?s becoming a necessity for personal injury attorneys to better know how computer claims assessment software programs being used by the insurance industry have been responsible for decreasing the value of all personal injury cases, especially for car accidents.?
In his speech, ?The No. 1 Tip to Maximizing Personal Injury Settlements,? Gursten will clarify how many of the top No-Fault insurance companies use claims assessment software to evaluate personal injury claims. These computer programs all work on the same principle of tracking settlements of similar cases and personal injuries, then giving claims adjusters a range of what they have authority to settle these cases for, he said.
Gursten clarifies that in years past, when an incompetent personal injury lawyer tried to make a quick buck and settle a case cheap, all he was doing was hurting was his client. Now, with the widespread adoption of these assessment software programs, even the very best personal injury lawyers are finding settlement offers constrained by average settlements.
?This is because the values of their cases are gradually lowered each year, as median settlement values reflect every low and inadequate settlement and every negotiation made by terrible lawyers. Everyone is now affected,? Gursten said.
The solution? Gursten says to settle personal injury cases involving pain and suffering hurts for top dollar, a personal injury lawyer must be willing to try cases.
?The difference in being willing to take a case to trial is huge. Insurance companies and defense lawyers know who plays the game. They know if it has been 15 years since an attorney has gone to trial, and they will conduct settlement negotiations accordingly,? Gursten said, noting that terrible faith litigation against some insurance companies has shown that a lawyer’s reputation as someone willing to take a case to trial can increase the value of a settlement up to four times more for his injured client.
