Delano CA Personal Injury Lawyer

The Settlement Demand By obtaining copies of all of your medical records, reports and bills, we’ll be monitoring your care and treatment closely. While you’re still recovering from your injuries, we will be assembling all of the evidence in your case into a clear and comprehensive settlement demand that is aimed at the opposing law firm. Damages As per California law, damages are classified as economic and non-economic. Economic damages are easier to calculate. Damages ordinarily include the following:

• Past and future medical bills in connection with the occurrence.
• Past lost earnings and lost earning capacity in the future.
• Any permanent disability or disfigurement reasonably expected to be suffered in the future.
• Past pain and suffering and pain and suffering reasonably expected to be experienced in the future.
• A diminished quality of life.
• Other substantial damages in the event of a wrongful death.

We Continue to Work For You Most personal injury cases settle without the necessity of a trial. We don’t just walk away after being paid at the conclusion of your case. In our mission to maximize any net proceeds that you might derive from a settlement, we will try to negotiate with your health care providers and lower any amounts that you might owe them. That can operate to increase your bottom line. Litigating Your Case If the opposing insurance company is intractable and unreasonable, we have no problem with filing a lawsuit on your behalf. We’re fully prepared to take your case to trial in front of a judge and jury when the other side is still scrambling around trying to prepare for court. With some insurance companies, we file suit from the onset because we know that a settlement order or verdict is the only way to get them to pay. We’re going to cover all of the costs of litigation too, so you don’t need to worry about those. They’re reimbursed out of any settlement or verdict on your behalf. Mediation and Arbitration An impartial mediator might be of value in bringing us and the opposing insurance company closer together. We generally don’t object to mediation because it isn’t binding. If we still can’t resolve the case, the jury trial option remains available. If your case is against your own insurance company like in an uninsured motorist claim, arbitration is likely, and it will be binding. Jury Trial We have no problem taking your case this far if we’re compelled to do so. We will pick a jury of your peers and present all of the evidence on your behalf effectively and professionally. After the jury hears all of the evidence in the case, it will render its verdict. We’ll Continue to Work for You Our objective in the disposition of your personal injury case is to maximize any settlement or verdict that you deserve. Even after a case is settled or a verdict is rendered, we’ll attempt to compromise your medical bills in efforts to maximize your net proceeds.
