"More" doesn't always mean more after legal fees.
A lawyer's fee is usually about a third of the whole settlement. If you already have an offer and then hire a lawyer, that fee usually applies to the full amount, not just what the lawyer adds. So a bigger settlement can leave you with less. With the Settlement Floor Agreement, a lawyer agrees to take a fee only on the money they recover above the offer you already have.
How the Settlement Floor Agreement works
Once you have the insurer's offer, you can accept it, and we'll route your payment to you. Or see if a lawyer can improve on it.
We can connect you with a lawyer from our network, who is paid only on what they add above the offer you already have.
If you've hired a lawyer with the Settlement Floor Agreement, you can decide whether to take any offer knowing the lawyer's fees won't eat into the offer you already got with Mighty.
