Only 4 to 5% of people go to court with a personal injury lawsuit. Most injury lawsuits are settled before reaching court.

No one wants to go through a long court battle. If the party knows they are likely to lose in court, they often ask to settle. Even if you aren’t going to court, having an attorney will help guide you through every step of the process. You’ll know you’re making the right decisions as you go.

Continue reading this article to learn four things that will help you get the fairest settlement for your lawsuit.

Setting Your Personal Injury Lawsuit Up for Success

Whether you need a car accident attorney or you’ve had another type of injury, the following tips will help you with your case.

Free Consultation

1. Evidence of Liability

If you can’t prove who was liable and that the incident caused the injury, you’re not getting a settlement. If the insurance company denies your claim, it isn’t all over.

During the discovery process, accident reconstruction professionals will put the scene together to determine what happened. Medical professionals will also work on this to see what happened to you.

The defendant or their insurance company is allowed to collect evidence against you as well. The best thing to do is to keep quiet and don’t talk to anyone but your attorney. Don’t tell your insurance company or anyone else anything your attorney doesn’t give you the go-ahead about.

2. Lawsuit Location

Depending on the lawsuit location, you may be able to get more compensation. Different counties and cities have different laws about how much money you can request through a lawsuit.

Ask your attorney about the laws in the area you will file your lawsuit to find out how much money you be able to get.

3. Medical Expenses

Insurance companies try to avoid paying for settlements by using loopholes related to medical expenses. To avoid any problems with medical expense disputes, you should see a doctor right away. When you choose the doctor to visit, make sure they are a reputable doctor.

If you go to a doctor that isn’t well-known and respected, the insurance company may challenge their opinion.

4. Assets & Insurance

If you go to court against the person at fault and they don’t have the ability to pay, you can go after their assets. If the at-fault party doesn’t have enough assets either, then you may be able to file a claim against your own insurance to get the rest of the money that you need.

Depending on whether the defendant is able to pay or not is a big part of how much your case is worth.
