No. If the insurance company for the person who caused the injury is willing to offer a fair settlement, you do not have to bring a lawsuit to obtain a recovery. We are skilled at negotiating settlements without filing lawsuits. In the event the insurance company is not willing to negotiate fairly, we will then proceed with filing a lawsuit if you so desire.

Remember who the adjuster works for: an insurance company. Adjusters have one goal—to settle your case for the least amount of money possible.

A tort is a civil wrong that causes someone else harm and injury. The person causing the harm is the tortfeasor. Examples of torts are car accidents and slip and fall injuries due to someone’s negligence. Examples of tortfeasors include a negligent manufacturer, a pharmaceutical company that cares more about profits than public safety, or a company that produced a defective product that harmed people. For each of these, injured individuals may need to seek compensation for the harm caused to them.

Your case is worth what we tell the insurance company it is worth, or it’s worth the amount granted by a judge and jury. We examine all the conditions surrounding your personal injury case to arrive at a figure we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries. These conditions include how the accident happened, what injuries you suffered, the amount of your medical expenses and lost income, future medical problems and costs, and future loss of income. We study every detail so we can get you the money you deserve for your personal injuries.
