What’s your alternative to the contingency fee? You, of course, would prefer your sacred deny-coverage insurance companies, polluting corporations, doctors amputating the wrong limb, or DUI drivers not be held responsible for their actions.

I’ll ask again, whose side are you on?

TV LAWYERS CHARGE INJURED VICTIMS 30% PLUS COSTS FOR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CASES.

TV LAWYERS CHARGE INJURED VICTIMS 33% TO 40% PLUS COSTS TO BRING A LAWSUITS.

THIS IS WRONG!!!

What happens when a company picked doctor, that’s right, the worker cannot even pick his own doctor, does the right thing and orders surgery and the insurance company refuses? Who looks out for the worker who’s illiterate and cannot read or understand the forms the commission uses?

Tell what happens when a carrier says you’re not covered because your employer fraudulently claims you’re an independent contractor?

You cannot answer those questions. But, I’ll give you another question you won’t want to answer. Whose side are you one? The injured worker who an insurance company is screwing, or the insurance company who wrongfully refuses to pay?

Extreme fees? Worker’s comp lawyers fight for years with insurance companies without compensation and having to advance IME and other fees-and then their fees are capped at one-third of benefits the insurance company wrongfully refused to pay. All the while, the bank tower lawyers are being paid every week at $125/$200 per hour. Have you ever protested those fees?

Come back when you know what you’re talking about. All I hear now is nonsense with no basis in fact.

But, let me ask one more question your business buddies refuse to answer: Name one business in South Carolina that has gone under because of a personal injury lawsuit. I’ll leave the light on.

You made some valid points but everytime Pro Small Biz made a point you resorted to partisan or personal attacks, or some other liberal anti-business talking point. I’m surprised a lawyer would need to do that.

Pro Small Biz tagged you pretty good on the need for personal injury lawyers in workers’ compensation cases. (You should have seen that coming). But he/she should have mentioned that the Workers’ Compensation System was designed to be a no fault system without any need for legal representation.

Also, Pro Small Biz stated the fees that personal injury lawyers charge are extreme and you never addressed this issue.

Finally, Pro Small Biz should have taken my advice and ignored you. You just post negative nonsense all the time.

Your prior answer is a non sequitur. His prior posts do establish him as one of the dumbest posters here. I do believe he is so dumb as to call a worker’s comp administrative claim against an insurance company a law suit.

Enjoyed the debate, but I need to go back to work trying to create wealth.

I would suggest that you do the same but that would mean filing more lawsuits against businesses. Plus, you do not create wealth, you redistribute the wealth of a successful business to your own back pocket.

I’ll ask again, name one business that has closed shop because of a personal injury lawsuit?

If the worker files the workers’ comp claim then why do they need a lawyer?

PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS DO NOTHING BUT ADD COSTS TO THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION SYSTEM.

Ever heard of the President Junior Depression, dumb arse?

To answer your question, WORKERS file worker’s comp claims. 96% by individuals without lawyers. 100% by people with first and last names.

I’ll ask again, name ONE South Carolina business put out of business by a personal injury lawsuit. You can’t do it, can you?

And BTW, if someone builds a shoddy house, it ain’t a personal injury lawyer that sues them, it’s a construction lawyer and the two aren’t the same. Leading us back to the original theme of my post, YOU are the dumbest person posting here.

Who files lawsuits? Who files workers’ comp claims?

TV Lawyers.
