Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury cases include motorcycle accidents, car crashes, truck wrecks, medical malpractice, pedestrian accidents and defective products, just to name a few.

If you’ve been injured, our lawyer knows how complicated everything can be. At Germany Law Firm PLLC, our experienced and helpful attorney has put together answers to the following common questions to help you get started.

What is personal injury law?

Personal injury law involves the legal process of seeking compensation for damages. These include medical bills, lost wages and more. 

Should I take a settlement?

One option may be to accept a settlement from the insurance company instead of going to trial. This can be faster, but it’s crucial to ensure that you’re actually getting full compensation for all costs and not just a lowball offer. 

Will my insurance company pay for my injuries?

Possibly. As noted above, you may be offered a settlement once the insurance company determines what it believes you are owed – but there’s no guarantee that this maximizes your compensation, as insurance companies focus on reducing costs and payouts. 

Will my personal injury case go to trial?

It can. If you are unhappy with the settlement offer or if there is a dispute regarding fault, a trial may be necessary. For instance, you both may claim the other driver ran the red light, so the court will examine evidence like witness statements, photos, police reports and more.

How much is my case worth?

It really depends on the specifics of the case. Each one is unique, but an experienced personal injury attorney can help you explore your options. Important costs to consider include lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost earning capacity.

Is it worth it to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Absolutely. An experienced lawyer can present your legal options, help you avoid crucial mistakes, file paperwork on time and maximize the compensation you receive.
