WhoCanISue.com is not for real lawyers!
On November 10, the Today Show featured a website called WhoCanISue.com. The website has been receiving quite a bit of publicity, as Time Magazine also featured it in an article (http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1829725,00.html ) According to Time, attorneys will pay an annual fee of $1,000 to appear on the website, allowing consumers to determine whether they have a case and to pick a lawyer if they feel they need one.
Needless to say, this website is over-the-top. Real trial lawyers, who are dedicated to protecting the rights of victims, would not sign up for WhoCanISue.com just to find an easy case. Take the website’s tagline: “The Legal Process Made Easy.” A responsible personal injury lawyer, who has spent years mastering the law and representing accident victims, knows that the legal process is never easy. Defending a client’s rights against large insurance companies through litigation is a very difficult job, and one that ought to be taken more seriously than this website.
Lawyers often get a bad rap, portrayed as sue-happy litigants who will look for any excuse to take a client to court. WhoCanISue only perpetuates this false stereotype. It is true that some attorneys exploit the legal system for unreasonable claims, but they are few and far between. The majority of personal injury attorneys take their jobs seriously, and dedicate their careers to seeking justice for those who need it most. Personal injury lawyers defend their clients’ rights, ensuring they receive a proper settlement to cover their medical expenses, economic losses, and property damage. Pursuing compensation for an accident victim to receive the medical treatment he/she needs is far more than arbitrary litigation; it is ensuring justice to those who need it.
If you are seeking legal representation, we strongly suggest you look beyond phony websites like WhoCanISue.com. It is important to hire a Utah injury lawyer who is serious about his profession and his responsibility to his clients, and who diligently works to help those who have fallen victim to a serious accident.
