More often than not, that is how things are going these days, according to a report from the Insurance Research Council (IRC), released Tuesday, that found that the percentage of personal injury claimants in auto cases represented by attorneys rose to 36% in 2012, more than double the rate in 1977, and up from 31% in 2007. For bodily injury claimants, the rate rose slightly to 50%.
