If you have been injured, you may need medical care. If your injury was someone else’s fault, you can take them to court and sue them to cover your medical costs. In this YouTube video, viewers learn about personal injury claims. Many people wonder about the details of personal injury cases.
Personal injury statutes differ for each state, so experienced personal injury lawyers will be an essential source of information. Sometimes, personal injury cases go to court, but they are often settled.
Some people may wonder when settlement becomes an option. Many cases are settled when all “discovery” has been released.
Discovery refers to all the information that is gathered about the circumstances of a personal injury. Once a case begins, the attorney will take depositions, to learn all the circumstances of what happened and all the details about it. Once the insurance company and the lawyer have heard all the facts, there is an ideal chance for settlement.
Some people wonder how many offers and counteroffers may be made before a settlement is accepted. Some personal injury lawyers speculate about the “rule of threes.” That “rule” speculates that the amount the lawyer first asks for is three times what they may settle for. Your lawyer will be your best guide through the many ins and outs of the personal injury case process.
