You've probably seen many personal injury advertisements on TV, radio, and billboards promising massive settlements. You wonder if any of it is accurate and if those firms are better than your regular mom-and-pop or smaller boutique personal injury firm. The truth is many of those firms are personal injury settlement mills.

Personal injury settlement mills are law practices equipped to handle thousands of minor injury cases for small settlements like $1,500 to $5,000. These law firms have few attorneys and many staff, and they do a lot of aggressive advertising campaigns. Their goal is to settle as many cases as possible, giving little personal attention to the case, so they do the client a great disservice.

Learn more in this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast with elite personal injury lawyer Matt Dolman and his guest, Brent Sibley, Esq. They discuss personal injury settlement mills and why they are no good for your injury case, why personal injury trial lawyers are better, and how to choose them.
