Personal Injury Attorney

Insurance companies will typically offer an amount they feel is sufficient to address compensation after an accident, but it generally won’t address all of the damages you may have sustained. Medical expenses and property damage can be costly, which is why you should talk to a lawyer before signing any type of settlement offered by insurance companies. Once you sign an agreement, you will not be able to take the other party or the insurance company to court. Despite the fact future medical bills are incurred, you may only have the money from that settlement, and you may never see additional compensation in the future.

Often, an insurance company will want to settle even after you have filed for your case to go to court. Most companies don’t want the expense of going to court, so if you seek a reasonable amount of compensation, it’s very likely the insurance company or negligent party will want to make another attempt to settle before the case goes to court.

There is no way for an attorney to give you an exact date for when your personal injury case will be resolved. Every personal injury case varies depending on the details of the injury. Some cases finish in a few months, while others take years to complete.
