A settlement may be the best solution for you
Although this is not what many people want to hear, in some circumstances, a reasonable settlement is the best option. It avoids the need for a lengthy and costly trial and guarantees that the aggrieved party receives compensation much sooner. Of course, there are several concerns that might arise as a result of a settlement:
- They do not always factor in future medical expenses
- They do not always quantify long-term damages correctly
- Too frequently, the wounded individual is unaware that the insurance company is working against them
The simple fact is that unless you have a personal injury attorney on your side, settlements are unlikely to provide you with what you want. The insurance adjuster’s purpose is to keep settlement costs as low as possible, not to provide you a fair compensation. An attorney, on the other hand, will be working only for you and can help you achieve what you deserve.
