Filing a personal injury claim | Bucks County | Philadelphia

· Feb 14, 2015 ·

Bucks County personal injury lawyer Michael L. Saile, Jr. explains that most people who file a Bucks County or Philadelphia personal injury claim have never been through the process before and do not know what to expect.  This is why it is important to have a personal injury lawyer who gives you an overview of what is involved in pursuing a PA or NJ injury claim and keeps you informed throughout the process.

At What Point will Your Case Settle?


Once you have recovered enough that medical caregivers are comfortable in predicting your expected medical outcome, then your Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer can assemble the information necessary to attempt a settlement in your personal injury case. The personal injury attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC will gather your medical records, other treatment information, police report(s), and in some cases expert witnesses who may be necessary to predict, for example, your future income capacity loss. 

When the information about your Philadelphia area auto accident injury has been gathered, your personal injury lawyer will present this information to the insurance company in an effort to negotiate a settlement. If the insurance company is unwilling to make a fair settlement for your injuries, then your attorney may file a lawsuit on your behalf against the person who was responsible for the accident.

Prompting the Insurance Company to Pay for Your Injuries

It is important to note that while the person responsible for your accident injuries is sued, the intention is typically to prompt their insurance company to pay for your injuries. Quite often, once a lawsuit is filed an insurance company will be willing to negotiate a settlement when factoring in the possible cost of a trial to them. In fact, most of the time, accident cases are settled before they ever go to trial.

However, sometimes, even when your Bucks County personal injury lawyer is a skilled negotiator, a settlement cannot be reached. It is important that you have experienced representation by a lawyer who understands and can guide you through the process.

How Long Before Your Case Gets to Trial?

It can take well over a year until your case goes to trial. During that time you will participate in the process by giving a deposition, which is a statement taken by the opposing attorney. You may also have to participate in a mediation which is an organized meeting attempt at a settlement before trial. It is during this time that having an experienced PA personal injury lawyer is in your best interest.  Most auto accident trials last several days, but typically less than a week, depending on the case.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a Philadelphia area or Bucks County accident, you need experienced representation to help you obtain full and fair compensation for your injuries.
