Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better in Personal Injury Law

When you’re injured in an accident, you want the best representation possible. So, it might seem logical to assume that the biggest law firms are also the best. After all, they have large advertising budgets, impressive office towers, and dozens of lawyers. But in personal injury law, bigger is not always better.

At Auger Hollingsworth, we offer the perfect balance: the legal strength and resources of a large firm with the personal care and attention of a boutique practice. Here’s why that difference matters.

High Volume Often Means Low Personalization

Many large firms operate on a volume-based model. Their goal is to sign as many clients as possible and resolve cases quickly. These firms may assign your case to junior staff or paralegals, and you might have little direct contact with a senior lawyer. The result is a process that feels more like a factory than a professional service.

That can lead to communication delays, missed opportunities, and, in some cases, under-settled claims.

At Auger Hollingsworth, we limit our caseload to ensure each client receives personalized service and consistent attention. You know your lawyer, and your lawyer knows you.

The Right Fit Is More Important Than Firm Size

The best injury lawyer for your case is not necessarily the one with the biggest office or the most radio ads. It’s the one who takes the time to understand your situation, communicates clearly, and fights for your interests at every stage of the process.

When you choose a law firm, ask yourself:

• Will I be treated like a person or a file number?
• Will I be able to reach my lawyer when I have questions?
• Is the firm known for pushing for fair settlements, not just quick ones?

We believe the answers to those questions matter more than a firm’s size or marketing reach.

Bigger Firms Are Not Always Trial-Ready

Some large firms prioritize fast settlements and avoid trial whenever possible. That strategy may reduce risk for the firm, but it can also result in lower compensation for you. Insurance companies know which firms rarely go to court and may offer lower settlements accordingly.

Auger Hollingsworth is known for being ready to go the distance. We prepare each case as if it will proceed to trial, and we’re not afraid to challenge insurers when the offer on the table is unfair.

Personal Injury Is Personal

Your recovery is about more than just a dollar amount. It’s about feeling heard, respected, and supported. A client-focused firm will take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and ensure that every decision reflects your goals and best interests.

You Deserve More Than a Law Firm. You Deserve a Team That Cares.
