Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Insurance Disputes
Q: SELF-ESTIMATING COSTS: Can't I just estimate the cost of my own injuries right away?
A: In our experience, no one can really estimate the future cost of medical care. A lot depends on how you respond to treatment. If you are asking about settlement value, I would say that with some small cases you can estimate your own injuries and settle the case without an attorney.
What a board-certified specialist will be better able to do for you is to evaluate the value of the case in the particular market (i.e. where the case will go to trial). He or she knows this both by their own experience and by subscribing to numerous publications which report on settlements and verdicts. With this type of information you will be better armed to negotiate with the insurance company.

Testimonials
- Congratulations on having been selected by your peers for inclusion in the 2011 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®
- This is our first experience meeting with a lawyer. Surprisingly, our meeting with Ben went so well. It was very informative and educational.
- We were deeply touched by your kindness.
- I contacted Attorney Ben Glass's office and franticly spoke to his assistant Terry. We had a little more than two weeks to challenge my LTD provider's threat to offset my LTD disability payments by the amount of a recent settlement I had received on a Worker's Compensation claim - the claim was settled outside of the Worker's Compensation system.
- I want to thank you and your staff for all your hard work in 2009. I greatly appreciate your efforts on my wife's disability appeal. Your staff worked hard, is very talented and your ethical approach was readily apparent.
