Usually, insurance companies hold settlement funds in interest-bearing accounts. The longer that money stays in that account, the more money the insurance company makes. That’s especially true if the insurance company is a top-five firm, like State Farm or Progressive, which settles tens of thousands cases a year. The nickel-and-dime interest payments on individual cases quickly add up.

After the immediate priority (medical attention) is addressed, a lawyer can turn to other, almost-as-important matters, such as collecting evidence. A victim/plaintiff must prove negligence, or a lack of care, by a preponderance of the evidence, or more likely than not, to obtain compensation for injuries.
