I turn down car accident cases regularly if there is a small amount of property damage to the cars involved in the accident. The reason is, even though a person can get injured in a case with little property damage, unfortunately the insurance companies are unwilling to pay very much money on these cases. They know that if the case goes to trial, a jury is going to be shown pictures of the cars, which will not result in a good verdict for the plaintiff if there is a small amount of damage.
Before I take a case, I want to know the extent of damage done to the cars.
