My Worst experiance
It was when my daughter was hit by a car (she was on a bicycle), the insurance company called regularly (she had a broken collarbone). So did lawyers. I took advantage of a free consultation with an personal injury lawyer, who said her ultimate settlement should be about the same amount. I then negotiated with the insurance company herself and ended up with a settlement that was more than she would have gotten if a car accident lawyer wasn't involved (thanks to a lawyer at downtownlalaw) and the insurance company paid less than they would have if a lawyer wasn't involved.
