If you are not sure whether a\npersonal injury lawsuit is right for you, check out what our Murrieta personal\ninjury lawyers have to say about these personal injury faqs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personal injury involves cases in which an individual suffers\nan injury due to someone else\u2019s negligence. This is a large area of law that\nencompasses car\naccidents<\/a>, dog bites<\/a>,\nnursing\nhome abuse<\/a>, sexual assault, fatal\ncrashes<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to speak with Murrieta personal injury lawyers\nto find out if you have a case. While the facts of the case may seem\nblack-and-white to you, situations are often more complicated than they seem.\nFor example, if you have some responsibility in the accident, you may have a\nweaker case or no case at all. Discussing the case with a lawyer<\/a> is the\nonly way to know if it is worth your time to retain an attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is perhaps the most common question we get from\naccident victims. Unfortunately, there is no way to answer it without getting\nthe full details of the accident and beginning the negotiating process. Many issues\ncan factor into evaluating your case including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other party\u2019s insurance company and how flexible it\nis during negotiations can also affect these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We offer free case evaluations<\/a> to people\nwho have suffered injuries due to someone else\u2019s negligence or malice. We\nunderstand the enormous financial pressure that follows an accident and we want\nyou to explore your options without worrying about the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choosing the right attorney for your personal injury\ncase can have a significant impact on the case\u2019s outcome. We recommend\nconsidering a number of factors when hiring\na personal injury lawyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find an attorney with experience in your specific type\nof personal injury case. It is likely that they know the nuances of your type\nof injury and can use that knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company.\nExperience is another consideration. An attorney with a long history in\npersonal injury or insurance defense has worked on both sides of these cases,\nso they can bring valuable insights to your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also ask how much experience an attorney has in\nthe medical side of personal injury law. A full understanding of your injuries\nmeans an attorney can use that knowledge to get a better settlement for\nclients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most personal injury cases never make it to court, so it\nis likely that you will not even see the inside of a courtroom during your\npersonal injury case. In most cases, insurance\ncompanies settle before you reach the courtroom<\/a>. Even if the insurance\ncompany is not willing to negotiate initially, both parties can settle at any\npoint, even as they prepare for court. If yours is one of the few cases that\ndoes reach the courtroom, rest assured that we will fully prepare you for the\nprocess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not speak to the other person\u2019s insurance company.\nRemember that the adjuster for the insurance company has one goal: to minimize\ntheir company\u2019s losses and prevent a lawsuit. They will offer as little money\nas possible to make that happen. They can use anything you tell them as\nammunition to weaken your case and lower your settlement offer. Many people\naccidentally ruin their case by being too open with a \u201cfriendly\u201d claims\nadjuster. Let all communication go through your attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.\nIt depends largely on how complicated your case is, how much the insurance\ncompany is willing to negotiate, and how much money is at stake. We strive to\nsettle the case as quickly as possible without sacrificing your settlement\namount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attorney Steven Gnau helps the injured get the\ncompensation they deserve.
