Short of being lowballed on the settlement by 4-5k by my insurance company and not being able to negotiate out of it, I feel like it would be difficult for me to do anything but break even were I to hire a lawyer off the bat. Assuming costs for highering one would be at least a couple grand. Do you think it would be feasible to get one for less? Or that it's likely that what I'm offered is less then the value of the car, to the extent that a lawyer is cost effective?
Negotiate as high as you can on your own, and if you aren't happy with it, call a lawyer and tell him he only gets his contingency fee on amounts over that. The first lawyer you call might not take that offer, but someone will. That's what I do on pure property damage cases for existing clients.
