Good personal injury lawyers settle most traffic accident personal injury claims out of court without a trial. However, your legal rights entitle you to have compensation for your loss and pain and suffering determined by a trial by jury, if you so choose. That’s why you need a highly effective personal injury lawyer to represent you who is not afraid to try a case if the need arises. A good lawyer should be experienced, smart, and aggressive. And above all else, a good lawyer should care about you, the client.
You need a lawyer who will be soft on you, but tough on the insurance company. Your lawyer’s representation is important in negotiations with the insurance company of the at-fault driver. Insurance companies generally try to settle claims before going to court in order to save on legal costs and avoid the much larger settlements usually awarded by a jury. Insurance companies are not on your side, but I will be. I will protect you and get you what you deserve.
One word of caution: DO NOT SIGN an insurance company release, which might limit the liability incurred by an insurance company, without first consulting your lawyer. DO NOT GIVE a statement to an insurance company or an investigator until you have spoken with your lawyer first.
