What separates Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA from most other personal injury law firms is that we have extensive trial experience handling 100’s of cases in front a judge or jury. It’s said in our profession that attorneys try their best personal injury cases but its more than that. Insurance companies are the largest payers of claims that involve liability, that is why we carry insurance protection, so it comes out of their pockets not ours when we make a mistake. But less than 5% of all insurance claims every go to trial. That means roughly 95% of all injury cases are settled out of court. Insurance companies know this so they make limited settlement offers to many injured victims and their attorneys hoping they will accept, even if their case is worth much more.

The personal injury attorneys at Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA have the knowledge and experience to put a value on what a personal injury case is worth and what our clients should receive for damages that include: current and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and possibly other compensations. Besides being aggressive and tough negotiators, Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA has the added advantage of being trial-experienced, so if the insurance carrier is not willing to make a fair settlement offer to one of our injured clients, we are prepared to settle the matter in a count of law. Our legal adversaries know we thoroughly prepare every one of our injury cases, so that if we can’t come to an agreement, we will take the parties to court. This makes it difficult for insurance companies to submit less than fair settlement offers to our clients knowing they will incur the costly burden of defending those offers in court. It’s too costly for them to prepare, defend and present why their offer is substantially fair, when their business practices are tailored to keeping costs down and making low settlement offers to injured victims.

Why is it Important to Hire the Most Experienced Attorneys Possible?

There certainly is no shortage of attorneys practicing law today. In fact, many believe there are just too many attorneys in the world. But what separates one attorney from another? At Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA, we believe you not only have to be smart, resourceful, dedicated and experienced; you also need to be client focused and available to clients no matter what type of legal representation you are providing. We also believe that not everyone who thinks they have a legal case does. Unfortunately, there are far too many attorneys who will take on just about any kind of injury case, even one that does not involve being injured.

One of the reasons insurance rates are so high and getting higher, is because of all the fraudulent injury claims that are presented for damages, where none exist. Most of these cases are represented by an attorney looking for whatever fees they can obtain. We at Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA hear about this all the time. Simple fender-benders where no one is hurt at the time of the mishap, insurance cards exchanged and 2 months later a claim is filed against the at-fault driver for 1000’s of dollars. Many insurance underwriters know the claims are fraudulent but its cheaper to settle than to fight so they negotiate, and monies are paid out.

At Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA, we are not an insurance claim mill, meaning if we believe that a potential client is not entitled to file a claim, we refuse to provide legal representation.
