From Settlement Offers to TrialDealing with injuries? Not sure where you’re going to get money to help cover medical expenses? Need to help a loved one who has been injured as a result of a loved one? There are a lot of steps that come with a potential lawsuit and knowing what to expect can be helpful.

Before you move forward with a lawsuit, recognizing specific tactics by the other team or knowing what rights you have is important. Here are some of the things you can expect from the potential settlement offer to the trial.

After an accident, the insurance company of the negligent party may offer you a settlement for a number of reasons. Here are some of the reasons settlement offers are made:

In some situations, the insurance company may file a motion to dismiss before even getting to this point in order to devalue the claim of the victim.

Some individuals fear going to trial because they don’t want to deal with the courts or the long process. However, if the settlement offer isn’t adequate, going to trial may mean getting the maximum compensation possible.

Before that point, though, the plaintiff and defendant may need to go through discovery and more. Having a Michigan car accident attorney on your side is one of the most effective ways to get through this situation in a positive manner.
