A good personal injury lawyer should be able to collect more than you would have been able to on your own, and more than make up for their contingency fee. Think of it this way....the other guys insurance company would much rather deal directly with you than with your lawyer. Why do you suppose that is?

However..please keep in mind that the lawyer you hire is going to take anywhere from 35-50% of your settlement as his fee plus whatever expenses he bills you for. So your $300,000 settlement is going to deflate VERY fast. Just keep all of that in mind when you are making your choices.
