Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hire an attorney. Start the judicial process. Start settlement negotiations. Bring your award estimate and documentation to the settlement discussions. Come to an acceptable agreement. Go to trial.

Answer: While it is not mandatory you hire your own attorney to help you through the judicial process, you may want to consider it. An experienced personal injury attorney will be able to help you maximize your potential award due to his or her negotiation skills, trial skills, and overall credentials. Hiring an attorney may be expensive, but it could be worth it in the long run. Once you have hired an attorney, and even if you are proceeding without one, you will have to either file a lawsuit or or engage the opposing party in settlement talks. While every person has their own opinion on how to proceed, filing a lawsuit before engaging the opposing party in settlement talks can provide valuable leverage for you during negotiations. However, engaging in settlement talks before filing a lawsuit may help you and the opposing party stay out of a contentious legal battle and may provide an opening for friendlier settlement negotiations. To start the settlement negotiation process, reach out to the opposing party. Call the opposing party and tell them your situation and that you need to be compensated. If the opposing party has an attorney, call their attorney. If you have already started the judicial process, a judge may suggest that you try come to a settlement as well. Negotiating a settlement is advantageous for a number of reasons. Settling a case can save you money because you will not have to pay for an attorney to help you through a trial. Also, settling a case will save you time that you would otherwise have to spend going to court for months and possibly years. Finally, settling a case can provide you with a less risky alternative to trial, as you never know how a jury or a judge will assess your individual case. During the settlement negotiations, there will likely be a number of important points of contention. It is important to have evidence and documentation showing why you chose the number you did. Doing so will help you get the settlement you want and will make it harder for your opposing party to disagree with you. The following are likely going to be your biggest points of contention: Your multiplier. Because this number is in large part subjective, it is going to a number that is going to get a lot of discussion. Having evidence of the severity of your non-economic losses will be important in order to agree on a multiplier that benefits you. Videos, doctor's notes, and psychiatric evaluations can all help. Your percentage of fault. During settlement negotiations, any percentage of fault the opposing party tries to attribute to you is simply an estimate. Only a judge or jury can place a definitive percentage of fault on you, which will not happen until a trial takes place. Because of this, avoid taking any initial blame for the injuries. Wait for the other party to approach this issue. Hopefully you and the other party can come to an acceptable agreement and you can avoid a trial. When you do so, you will hopefully get the award you deserve while avoiding the financial burden of a trial. If you are unable to reach a settlement with your opposing party, a trial may become necessary. Depending on where you were at in the judicial process when you started your settlement discussions, you may have to file a case or you may have to go back to your judge and tell him or her that you were unable to reach an agreement. Either way, at this point, you will have to begin preparing for the trial. Preparing for a trial can be a long process. Expect multiple interviews with a number of attorneys and other professionals and expect to have to give out a lot of personal information, including your medical records and mental health records. Hopefully, if you follow this article's directions, you will be awarded a fair settlement while avoiding the burdens of a trial.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay calm and move out of traffic. Call for help if necessary. Inspect the vehicle.

Answer: Whether your rental car breaks down while stopped in a parking lot or while driving down the freeway, you should never react by panicking. Always stay calm, and keep a level head. If you're driving, steer the car to the side of the road and bring the vehicle to a complete stop. If you have roadside safety devices, such as flares or reflective devices, set these up on the side of the highway so that oncoming traffic will avoid your car. Do not attempt to drive the car further after a breakdown. Doing so could further damage the vehicle and put yourself and passengers at risk. If your broken-down rental car was involved in an accident, or if the car breaks down at night, or in an unsafe or unfamiliar area, you may need to call for help. Once you're safely out of traffic, use your cell phone to call 911, or your insurance company's roadside assistance phone number, depending on the severity of the incident. Conversely, if the car breaks down in a safe, populated area and has no one is injured, you may not need to phone the police. In a safe situation, first call your car-rental company, and then call a tow truck if necessary. If you can safely exit the rental car and stand in a location where you won't be hit by passing vehicles (i.e. not the middle of a road), inspect the car to determine where the breakdown occurred. If the failure was mechanical, you'll need to convince the rental car company that you were not at fault and should not be held liable to pay for the car damage. Use your phone camera (or an actual camera) to take photographs of the damage or broken parts, if it's visible. If you were at fault for the breakdown, through negligence or irresponsible driving, you will likely need to pay for the damages.
