Cases On Auto Accident Insurance Cases - Why Lawyers Are Having Second Thoughts

There are several reasons as to why some lawyers are unwilling to take up cases revolving around auto accident insurance claims. These are cases that take place when victims are denied payment of their insurance claims by the insurance companies themselves. People who take up various forms of auto insurance cover normally do so with the reasonable expectation of being compensated promptly by the insurers they buy the auto insurance premiums from, in case they happen to be accident victims in the future. Sadly, that isnt always the case. There are often disputes concerning facts about the case, leading most insurers to suspect that the facts of the accident are made up and they are simply out to defraud the insurance companies. Sometimes, it is the amount that becomes the issue. The insurance company thinks they are paying too much while the victims who are claiming payment feel as though they deserve more. The resultant disputes can be bitter, and lawyers normally have to be engaged by both the insurers and the victims.
Insurance companies often make it a point to have their in-house lawyers so they could easily call on their legal expertise when there is a dispute that must be settled. It's different for the accident victims since they have to seek out their own legal representation. They are the ones who are most likely to encounter lawyers who are not too keen on taking up their case and representing them. There are actually a number of legitimate reasons behind the refusal of these lawyers to take on such cases and represent that victims.
Cases involving auto accident insurance claims often take too long to be resolved. That is one reason why lawyers are not too keen on the idea of accepting auto accident insurance claims. Many lawyers prefer taking up matters that take shorter durations of time to resolve and close up. 
Lawyers are paid very little when they handle auto accident insurance claims cases. That is another reason why they do not want to take on such cases. It is often the case that the lawyers get paid a  percentage of the claim or compensation that the insurance company will pay out. And since we are talking about small amounts of insurance claims, that means the lawyers wouldn't really get paid much. Granted, there are some jurisdictions where lawyer's charge their services per billable hours. But that can often lead to situations where their fees end up being larger than the compensations paid out. It suddenly becomes ethically questionable when the lawyer would ask to be paid an amount that is much higher than the amount he was able to secure from the insurance company.
Thirdly, we have some lawyers who are unwilling to take up cases revolving around auto accident insurance cases because such cases are usually very draining. Once the case reaches the courtroom, the lawyers would find themselves facing insurers lawyers who would do everything in their power to make sure their clients are kept from paying a lot of money. In court, the machinations of the insurers lawyers successfully pain the victims and their lawyers in a bad light. Soon, the victims are presented as though they are fraudsters and their lawyers nothing but ambulance chasers. Lawyers would also be drained as they are obligated to keep their clients updated at all times and, unfortunately, most of the updates aren't really good news.
