Accidents are usually caused by another person’s fault or negligence. This at-fault party can be a person, agency, institution or corporation or group of persons. Those injured in such accidents are entitled to seek compensation for the damages caused by the accident. This is achieved by establishing the liability of the at-fault party and demonstrating that the injury was caused by their negligence, intent or fault. The process can be best undertaken with the assistance of an experienced personal injury lawyer. When injured victims contact our Williamsburg personal injury lawyers initially, they may have several questions about their claim and the legal procedures involved. We offer an initial free consultation to answer these queries and concerns of injured victims and their families before advising them on taking the next step.
Compensation is generally achieved by either arriving at a negotiated, mutually agreed upon settlement with the at-fault party or by instituting court proceedings and a civil lawsuit to collect the settlement. As our Williamsburg car accident lawyer and Williamsburg slip and fall accident lawyer handle personal injury cases exclusively, they are aware that a majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court. Based on media reports, there is the widespread impression that jury trials could yield a larger amount as settlement. However, in reality, trials are long-drawn-out, expensive and could result in unpredictable outcomes. Hence, unless the negotiation process breaks down irretrievably, out of court settlements can be the better option. Settlements are offered and paid out by insurance companies of the at-fault parties and dealing with them and their claims adjusters could be a challenging task. Our Williamsburg injury lawyers are well-versed with not only personal injury laws but also with insurance laws, including the latest updates and rulings in these sectors.
Most cases involving insurance companies do get settled relatively swiftly and satisfactorily since they are usually risk averse and prefer to keep control of the proceedings, which may not be possible in jury trials. The negotiation process conducted by our accident injury lawyers also helps to keep the case out of the public eye and increases the chances of settlement.
