As part of my job, I now get to read about every case in my area that is filed.  This is for marketing purposes, so we can pick out which cases have damages worth calculating and which ones don't, so we can market to the attorneys.

There's just so many of them!

The thing is, people have disagreements all the time.  People solve those disagreements on their own all the time, without involving lawyers.

It's astonishing to think that so many people have such large disagreements that it's worth bring someone to court over it.  Why can't people only expect money when they're really owed it?  Why can't people pay what they owe without having to be told by a court to do it?

I just don't know.

The only people making any money on your inability to come to a reasonable agreementare lawyers and damage experts, such as myself. 

As a damage expert, nothing makes me happier than a out-of-court settlement because of a well-written, persuasive, researched report we release to the other side that tells them they have no case.  So far this has happened to me once.  The other side dropped the loss of earnings portion of the claim and just went with the medical bill side, which they were owed anyway.

We were able to prove, using records provided to us, that not only did he make as much money now as he did before his auto accident, but he was even exceeding those earnings. 

We know what we're talking about, and we have the piece of paper you gave us to back it up.
