Before we ever even begin negotiating your case for settlement we sit down with you and review all aspects of what has occurred to you as a result of the accident. We then come to a joint decision about what to ask for. You will have the chance to discuss all issues that arise in your life that are a result of the accident. This is a difficult issue that must be examined for each case. The decision depends on what has been offered by the insurance company, and what your personal needs are.
Some people are perfectly willing to wait for years to go through the litigation process.
Other people would rather resolve the dispute immediately, and avoid the stress of court. These are issues we always discuss with our clients so they can make an informed decision about the best course of action to take. Once we have decided to accept your case, you will not be asked to come up with any other money in most cases. We will advance the funds necessary to properly prepare and present your case. People frequently ask whether their own insurance rates will go up as a result of making a personal injury claim.
