Litigating cases isn’t easy. That’s why many personal injury firms never actually see the inside of a courtroom. Instead, they accept meager settlements, churn through clients, and pocket a one-third fee for their troubles. That’s not how The Advocates do business.
Not all cases need to go to trial. In fact, it’s relatively rare. However, by preparing for the possibility that each client may ultimately need litigation to receive fair compensation for their injuries, The Advocates have developed a reputation with insurance companies that benefits every one of the firm’s clients.
Don’t Get Bullied
Insurance companies are massively profitable and do whatever they can to minimize payouts. Once you separate the industry’s stated promise that “you’re in good hands,” they’re “like a good neighbor,” and are “on your side,” you’re left with unscrupulous adjusters doing their best to trivialize damages and write the smallest check you’ll willingly accept.
The path to recovery and obtaining fair compensation for your injuries can be exhausting. That’s by design. Insurance companies want to grind you down.
Sometimes the only way to keep a bully in check is to fight back.
By frequently and aggressively pushing back against unfair offers, The Advocates have created an understanding that their clients won’t be steamrolled. This raises the average value for all clients, because insurance companies know their typical lowball offers and games won’t work.
Fight For What’s Fair
Whether you accept a settlement offer, or reject it, will always be your choice. The advice we give you regarding those decisions is made only with your best interest in mind, and The Advocates are often able to get fair compensation without filing a lawsuit. That’s what a strong reputation does.
But when there’s no reasonable offer being made, the litigation team won’t hesitate to step up and prepare a case for why you’re owed more than the insurance company is currently willing to provide.
In many cases, the mere threat of trial is enough to increase your offer and gain closure.

There’s no reason to leave your settlement to chance. The Advocates have the team and resources to fight for each individual client and build the best case possible to maximize your recovery.
