Once the full extent of your injuries has been determined, the cost of your medical treatment has been established and your future medical and/or vocational needs are properly evaluated we can prepare a demand for settlement.  The demand seeks compensation for your actual medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other damages caused by the defendant.  Most personal injury cases can be settled, but sometimes the filing of a lawsuit is required to ensure full recovery for our clients.  Filing a lawsuit complicates matters and may increase the costs involved and the time it takes to resolve the case, so the decision to file a lawsuit is always given careful consideration, and as our client you will always be involved in important decisions about your case.
