Believe it or not, settling is often the best option. In fact, most personal injury lawsuits are resolved before they go to trial, and for good reason. While PARRIS prepares all personal injury cases for trial, most cases are resolved before the trial begins. Depending on the case, settlements may be faster, more efficient and less costly to achieve than going to trial.
If you've been in a car accident, you may be looking at all your options for obtaining compensation that will help you pay for the injuries and emotional damages you may suffer as a result of the accident. Usually, people have two options when it comes to car accidents. In general, many personal injury lawsuits are resolved out of court. Lawsuits carry several court fees and generally take longer than settlements. That said, lawsuits happen for a reason, and your personal injury lawyer can file a lawsuit if that means recovering fair compensation.
Contact PARRIS today to speak with a California personal injury attorney who can help you decide if a settlement or trial is the best option for your specific needs. After accepting a settlement, you can't ask for more money or renegotiate a different settlement if your injuries worsen or new injuries are detected. An attorney who has practiced for many years in California would have extensive knowledge of state personal injury laws, court procedures, and the legal community, which can significantly affect your case. Personal injury cases often lead victims and their representatives to weigh extrajudicial settlements against court decisions. PARRIS personal injury attorneys fight these companies for you, ensuring that you get a fair settlement that covers medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Successful personal injury cases end with a settlement, which occurs before or during the trial, or with a verdict, which occurs after the trial. In addition, for a personal injury law firm, losing a trial generally means that it will assume all of the court costs and other expenses related to the case. The main benefit of resolving personal injury claims is that clients can receive the compensation they deserve as soon as possible. You and your personal injury lawyer have the option of accepting or rejecting any settlement offer made to you. A personal injury attorney can avoid costly court fees when reaching a settlement, but this is only a secondary benefit of settlements.
Although no two personal injury cases are the same, the process of resolving personal injury claims is fairly consistent.
