A wrongful death settlement can make life going forward a little easier.
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck. It is a common car accident injury, as a sudden acceleration or deceleration forces the neck forward or backward.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be one of the most life-altering personal injuries. Individuals with a TBI may experience mood and personality changes, hearing and vision impairment, and memory problems. Those with severe TBIs may require around-the-clock assistance.
Broken bones are a common accident injury. Many people will experience broken hand, wrist, and arm bones because they attempt to brace themselves during a fall or a car crash.
Internal injuries can be life-threatening but aren’t always immediately noticeable. These types of injuries can include internal bleeding and organ damage.
Most individuals—especially those who are recovering from serious injuries—are no match for an insurance company and its team of attorneys. And, the insurance companies know that. They will try to say that your accident was entirely your fault and that they owe you nothing.
You may not have the time, resources, or knowledge to stand up to them. But, as experienced personal injury attorneys, we do.
Most personal injury cases in Lancaster play out in a similar way. You can expect the following steps during your case process.
Insurance companies are concerned with their profits, not your well-being. You need someone to look out for you and your best interests.
Often, our clients come to us with the police report and possibly some photos of the accident scene. We dig deeper. If necessary, we’ll have experts reconstruct the accident scene. We may work on tracking down witnesses or obtaining surveillance camera footage.
An adequate settlement is one that covers your current and future:
Once we determine the true cost of your injuries, we won’t settle for less.
Insurance companies tend to drag things out. They will likely not agree to our demand for settlement, so as a matter of course we will file a personal injury lawsuit.
During the discovery phase, we exchange information with the insurance company’s attorneys. Witnesses may be interviewed during a deposition.
Mediation is often where the most time is spent. This is when we negotiate with the insurance company.
While most personal injury cases settle out of court, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial.
