00:06 hi i’m greg barthelette with barthelette law
00:09 if you’re recently involved in an
00:10 accident you may be asking yourself
00:12 can i handle my own injury claim is this
00:14 something i can do myself
00:16 and i think this is a fair question
00:17 because the internet has a lot of
00:19 information and guides that show you how
00:21 to handle your own injury claim
00:22 and on top of that you might be thinking
00:24 yourself well if i don’t have a lawyer i
00:27 actually might be saving money on legal
00:28 fees
00:29 well this exact issue has been
00:30 researched many times and i’ll link it
00:32 to the to those articles below
00:35 but the answer to that question is you
00:37 will not save yourself money in fact the
00:39 opposite is true
00:40 these studies uniformly show that if you
00:42 have an injury lawyer representing you
00:44 you will often get three times or over
00:47 three times more money than if you
00:48 represented yourself
00:50 and this is even after the lawyer’s fee
00:52 is applied
00:53 so what are the takeaways of course like
00:55 anything else
00:56 you’re entitled to represent yourself
00:58 with your injury claim
01:00 but if you do so you’re really
01:03 quite likely to get less money
01:05 ultimately
01:06 when you settle your case so my advice
01:09 is
01:09 if you’ve been involved in an accident
01:12 get a lawyer
