As a result of an accident, many people find themselves ready to settle with insurance companies for what they believe is a fair settlement. However, insurance companies and other defendants represent themselves and their clients. It is important to have an attorney to represent your interests.
Personal injury lawsuits are filed by people injured due to the actions or inactions of someone else. Unfortunately, nothing can turn back the clock to return you to before your injury. However, under the law you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your injuries. The goal in a personal injury suit is to determine the negligent acts or omissions, the person or persons that caused this act to occur and to compel this person or persons to compensate you for your injuries through a monetary award. Although these steps may seem simple, the determinations required by the Court may turn on complex issues of law.
