Every year in the United States, there are over 6 million car crashes. Of these accidents, almost half will result in personal injury. Over 40,000 people are killed each year, which is more than one death every 15 minutes in an automobile crash. The financial costs of these crashes approaches one-quarter of a trillion dollars annually. These costs are generally absorbed by automobile insurance companies paid from premiums from people like yourself.

These insurance companies rank as some of the largest corporations in America. American International Group(AIG) ranked in the top 10 fortune five hundred companies in the United States for 2007. Other huge insurance companies include Mobile Berkshire Hathaway Group (which is a holding company for many insurance companies such as Geico and USLIG). Other massive insurance companies include Allstate, Hartford Financial Group, Travelers, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Nationwide, Farmers, Progressive, State Farm, CNA` and many, many others. Through your premiums, these insurance companies pay billions of dollars in claims every year. However, a little known fact is that these companies profit billions of dollars every year from these accidents and our injuries. While some monies are paid out on claims, billions are retained in profits. According to the Consumer Federation of America, the property/casualty insurance industry has earned profits over the last five years in excess of $800.00 from every man, woman and child in America. Profiting off catastrophic accidents and injuries is big business for the insurance industry.

Obviously, the insurance premiums are not all being paid back to compensate accident victims. Over the last 15 to 20 years, many automobile insurance carriers have implemented computer software programs, which, in many cases, artificially deflates the value of an injury claim. Further with millions of dollars to spend on litigation, insurance companies retain big law firms to defend against injury claims. Insurance companies also retain doctors who charge hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to attempt to defeat injury claims. You need an experienced attorney to assist you, as the deck is truly stacked against you.

Mr. Prisbrey has handled automobile accident cases against all of the major insurance carriers. Mr. Prisbrey’s jury awards, defended by some of these huge companies, rank among the highest every attained in front of Southern Utah juries for automobile accident cases. Handling a personal injury case is relatively complex, and you need an experienced attorney to assist you in such a case. Contrary to phone book ads and television commercials, it is impracticable and virtually impossible to resolve an automobile accident case for fair value with a phone call or a letter to an insurance adjustor.
