you are making a lot of assumptions yourself. Most attorney's are not going to deal with the insurance company when it comes to the benefits a first party is owed.

how many people have been in car accidents where the attorney will handle the injury part of the claim but let the car owner deal with the damage to the vehicle on their own.

they will normally let the family take care of those issues. If you want another reason for the leap to file suit, here is one to consider. The fee structure normally changes once suit is filed. Prior to litigation, the attorney normally takes 33% of any collected proceeds. After litigation commences, they take at least 40% plus their costs...

also, Alabama is a pure contributory negligence state. If the party seeking damages is found to be 1% negligent, they could be barred from recovery.

and finally, I went to this attorney's web page and any firm that seeks parties to join a class action suit are questionable in my mind. The only people that make money off a class action suit is the attorney.
