Attorney Chip Ferguson – I don’t want to sue my neighbor

Ferguson Law Firm Attorney Chip Ferguson explains the importance of a trial attorney.

Not every case is going to be a case against someone whose last name is "Incorporated." Sometimes it is an accident as straightforward as someone running a stop sign, and there's an injury. When that happens, that injury is just as important, and that claim is as significant as any claim against the largest company or the biggest insurance company in America.

The thing to remember in that case is that the person who hit you is not who you are really looking to for compensation. That person has an insurance policy that they have paid for month after month after month. They have paid premiums to have insurance coverage so that if they make a mistake and they hurt somebody, that insurance company will step in and provide the compensation to you, the innocent victim.

So when that happens, it's really not a case against your neighbor. It's a case against an insurance company in a big building in a place far, far away — one that wants to treat you simply as a number. We don't let you become a number. When you are represented by us, you're always a person with a real name and a real loss. And we go after those insurance companies to balance and equal the scales of justice. That's our job.
