People have many preconceptions when it comes to personal injury claims. Many personal injury lawyer ads feed into these preconceptions. Many lawyers have done a terrible job educating the public about personal injury claims and the law. Their commercials and advertisements are not designed to educate but rather to get the phone to ring.

Many advertisements use scare tactics to convince viewers to call the lawyer. Other ads make implications about the money they can get if they call the particular lawyer. With all of this misinformation reaching consumers, it is easy to see why the majority of the general public has a negative view of personal injury lawyers.

The book attempts to dispel many of these misconceptions about personal injury lawyers and their advertising. Learn the truth behind the following myths:

• If an injured party is reasonable with the insurance company, then the injured party will receive a reasonable settlement.
• The insurance company for the person that injured me will pay my medical bills as they are incurred.
• I was in an automobile accident and the person that injured me was uninsured; therefore, I cannot collect for my damages.
• It is in my best interest to provide the insurance company for the person that injured me with my recorded statement, after all I have done nothing wrong and I have nothing to hide.
• My primary care physician does not specialize in accident cases. Therefore, I should go to a chiropractor or doctor that does specialize in injury cases.
• I need a lawyer to represent me in my personal injury claim.
