Should I Accept A Settlement After An Injury?

|

A large part of a successful attorney-client relationship has to do with education. A successful personal injury claim or lawsuit usually involves close collaboration between a lawyer and a client.

Preparing a case for trial includes reaching a target dollar amount that will account for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A detailed investigation, consultations with experts as needed and clear communication among an injured person, doctors and a personal injury lawyer are all important in arriving at that dollar amount.

If you were injured and are represented by a personal injury lawyer — perhaps an attorney from the law offices of The Paris Law Group, PC, in Manhattan — your lawyer should keep you well-informed. A good attorney prepares every case as if for trial, but in actual practice, most injury claims are settled out of court. Whether in settlement negotiations in a law office or in a last-minute pretrial maneuver, an insurance claims adjuster may make a settlement offer to you in an attempt to avoid trial.

Be Prepared To Respond With Confidence When You Receive A Settlement Offer

If The Paris Law Group, PC, is your personal injury law firm, you can expect to be very well prepared to make the right call when a legal opponent makes a settlement offer. Our attorneys will advise you of how a judge or jury would likely consider fair injury compensation in your case. A trusting relationship with your attorney will have prepared you well to decide to accept or reject a solid settlement offer.

"Should I accept a settlement?" Discuss this question with our legal team at The Paris Law Group, PC, well in advance. Be ready to respond when the settlement offer comes. What if you refuse? Then your case will likely go to trial and you will take your chances before a judge or jury. What if you accept? Congratulations. You have successfully concluded your accidental injury case on your terms.
