I Didn't Get A Client Because I Wouldn't Lie
A recently injured worker contacted me and it was clear right away that he was doing two things: 1. Shopping around. 2. Fishing for how much his case was worth.
He had injured his back two days prior and it sounded like he had a herniated disc, but it wasn't clear. I told him that it was way too soon to tell him what the case was worth because we had no idea the extent of his injury and how this would effect him. All true. I also mentioned that it's important to think long term and focus on your health because nothing is more important. Also true.
Well he clearly didn't like that philosophy because a Waukegan workers compensation lawyer told him that the case was worth at least $100,000.00. Ha!!!
Maybe the case will be worth that much, maybe it will be worth less, maybe much more. Who knows? It's literally impossible to tell someone two days after an injury what the case will ultimately be worth.
Scumbags like this alleged Lake County work injury attorney will lie to clients in order to get them to sign up. It usually blows up in their face when the client won't settle down the road when the actual value ends up being way less than promised.
Needless to say, we weren't hired and it's probably a good thing. If you are more worried 48 hours after an accident about how much money you can make instead of how you can get better, we are probably not the right attorney for you.
