Personal Injury SettlementsWhen dealing with insurance adjusters, it is important to remember that their job is to resolve your case as inexpensively as possible. If they can get you to accept less than what you deserve, that is a victory for them. They will often offer a fast settlement in the hopes that you will agree before the full extent of your injuries is known. This is particularly true in catastrophic injury cases where the damage done to you will affect the rest of your life. Before accepting a settlement, you need to understand what your case is worth and what you will need to get on with the rest of your life.
Personal Injury LitigationA settlement might not be reached for several reasons, including:
- The insurance company is understating the severity of your injuries.
- The offer does not properly account for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering
- The insurer does not believe that you and your attorney are willing to go to trial.
- The insurer is hoping you will accept a lower offer in order to receive financial compensation more quickly.
Personal injury litigation is generally slow. Courts schedule trials when they can, but the process can take many months. To protect your right to full compensation, you need a lawyer who has trial experience. You need someone to give you the honest advice and aggressive advocacy you deserve.
