Are my injuries serious enough for a personal injury claim?

Your injuries do not have to be life-threatening to require medical care and financial support. Compound fractures, organ and muscle damage and wounds of various levels can require medical intervention. If your injury requires professional medical attention and is caused by another person’s negligence, you may be eligible for compensation via a personal injury claim.

How much money is my personal injury claim worth?

Medical Bills + Lost Wages + Pain And Suffering = Your Compensation

The above is a simplification, but a good starting point for understanding how much money you should expect when pursuing a personal injury claim. Personal injury settlements should cover all expenses associated with your injury and the act of negligence that caused it. They often include compensation for your immediate and long-term medical needs. In addition, they may provide for your lost wages and other damages.

One of the most important reasons for choosing experienced personal injury attorneys like ours is that we will carefully assess the full value of your claim to make sure you get everything you deserve.

Who is responsible for my personal injury settlement?

The negligent party’s insurance company, in most cases. Many personal injuries are clear-cut and the negligent party whose actions caused you harm is obvious. In some cases, like instances with multiple people or where a contractor for a corporation is involved, the responsible party may be more difficult to identify. In short, the court asks: Who ultimately should have known better or behaved differently? That party, and often their insurance company, should be the one signing your personal injury settlement check.

Do I have to go to court for my personal injury case?

No. Most personal injury claims are settled outside of court by negotiating with the insurance company. While a court appearance is necessary in some cases, we can often achieve a satisfactory settlement without ever entering a courthouse. With that said, we will not let you settle for less than you deserve, and if trial is called for we will fight for you. At the end of the day, we want to do what is best for you.

What do I do if I’m offered a personal injury settlement?

Consult with an attorney. Insurance companies often send settlement offers quickly and before you understand the full extent of your injury or entitlements. By consulting with Merk & Gile, Injury Attorneys, our lawyers can make sure that the numbers match your needs. We will identify undervalued settlements and will demand your fair personal injury compensation.

Keep in mind that if you accept the settlement and later discover you were underpaid, you may not be able to go back and ask for more compensation.

Do I need an attorney to get compensation for a personal injury? How much will it cost?

No, you do not need an attorney, but it is in your best interest to have one. The negligent party’s insurance company will have an attorney, and more likely an entire team of attorneys and a legal department, who are all working to minimize the negative financial impact to their employer. Having a personal injury attorney on your side who is looking out for you helps to level the playing field.

Keep in mind that you can consult with an attorney for free. Personal injury cases are generally handled on a contingency basis, which means you only pay if you get compensation and that payment will be a portion of the compensation you receive, which further incentivizes your attorney to get you as much money as possible.
