Personal Injury Attorney - losers?

I watch local Denver TV from time to time and am impressed (annoyed, overwhelmed, mildly amused) by the accident attorney claims: “Frank Bulldog got me $450,000”, “McFrog got me cash for my motorcycle injury”, - you know the ones - local and sometimes less than local lawyer lead generation advertising. Has anyone worked you these local firms and gotten nothing? I’d love to hear stories.
