Metrolink Train Accident Attorney Lawyer Los Angeles
The bulk of those lawyers advertising for train wreck victims do not plan on representing those victims at all. They are just planning on reselling them to other lawyers for the referral fee. The going rate for a Referral fee for personal injury cases is about 30% of the contingency fee. So it actually is much more lucrative for a lawyer to be in the business of reselling victims to other lawyers than to spend time and effort actually working on cases himself.
Scary being a former plaintiffs’ trial lawyer that I find 3 of posts referenced by you in the last week Walter.
Got to tell you that when I discovered blogs, and yours in particular 5 years ago, I thought I’d be battling you on more than one occasion. The idea of highlighting the most egregious situations to champion the cause of too many lawsuits and too many lawyers chasing law suits scared the heck out of me.
With the public not seeing the cases where the little guy got screwed and only the ones where the little guy or his lawyer over reached, I was scared of the tort reform implications.
But having been out of practice 10 years and not feeling the pressure to land the next case, I see where lawyers acting badly hurts us all – the little guy who may have been injured, the image of our legal profession, and our society.
