How do I get a personal injury settlement?

If your lawyer has determined that the circumstances of your injury are right for a personal injury claim, they will open your case and handle all of the paperwork, contact with the defendant, etc. for you. All you need to do from that point is work with your lawyer and provide them with any information they need that will help them defend your claim. If the defendant agrees to a reasonable settlement, or if they are required after trial to compensate you for your losses, you will receive a personal injury settlement for your injuries.

How soon should I call a lawyer after an accident?

After an accident, you should call a lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case while the details are fresh on your mind and find out if pursuing a personal injury claim is right for you. Call (386) 951-5438 to speak with a personal injury lawyer near you.

Can I sue for an accident that was partly my fault?

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to sue and recover losses for an accident even if you were at fault. Visit our Find a Lawyer page to be connected with a lawyer in your area who can determine whether or not you can sue for an accident that was partly your fault.

Can I file a personal injury claim if I have a pre-existing injury?

Yes. While personal injury claims with pre-existing injuries are more complex than those without, they are still possible. Your lawyer will help you acquire any necessary expert testimony needed to support your claim and assist you throughout the entire process so you can get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

What should I tell my insurance company?

We recommend consulting with your personal injury lawyer before speaking to your insurance company. After all, insurance companies are the business of making money, so it is in their best interests to pay you as little money as possible for your injuries.

If you have already been in contact with an insurance company, be sure to tell your lawyer what you said, if you signed any documents, and any additional details about the interaction that may affect your ability to recover the full settlement you deserve.

How long does it take to get a personal injury settlement check?

On average, it takes about five to six weeks to receive a personal injury settlement check after it has been released. That being said, there are a number of factors that may delay the process. Your personal injury lawyer can provide you with a realistic timeline for your settlement check, including what the process entails.
