The Best Time to Settle a Personal Injury Claim
When a personal injury claim has been filed, the only question that rises is should you settle for the claim or not. If you do not choose to claim, you will have to go to court. Whichever option you chose, you might have to take consultation from a personal injury lawyer. But before that, you will have to make up your mind and make a decision.
Here are the pros and cons of each side, so that you can make your decision keeping everything in mind.
To Settle
In this section we are going to talk about the advantages and short backs of settling your claim. Let us start with the advantages.
To settle with your claim means you will not have to file a lawsuit, so the process will be a lot simpler in general.
You won't have to pay any extra money to your personal injury lawyer.
But if you chose to settle the claim, there might also be a few drawbacks.
Sometimes the claim may not account all the losses that you had to face. Then, settling for a lesser claim may not be a good option for you.
If your claim does not include all the details regarding your injury, you may find it difficult to document them later on.
To Sue
If you don't wish to settle with the claim means you will have to sue. To sue means you will have a few pros and cons of that. Let us start with the advantages.
If you wish to sue to fight for your claim, you may get a better amount of money as a result of your claim.
If you manage to take the issue to the court, you will be able to get all your undocumented injuries recorded properly.
Now if we talk about disadvantages, there are some of them as well.
Suing instead of settling the claim will mean that you will have to take a stand in the court. This can be problematic for you if you have any sort of legal history.
