Personal Injury Settlement

The common misconception surrounding all personal injury cases is that once you hire a lawyer a lawsuit settlement is near. The fact is that most personal injury cases can take up to several months and even years before a settlement is reached. Personal injury settlements typically start out with negotiations. These negotiations typically involve your lawyer requesting a fair settlement which will cover all expenses and ongoing expenses related to the incident. If negotiations fail the amount of time before you see compensation could significantly increase.

The amount of money you receive from a personal injury can depend upon many different factors. Some of these factors include the severity of the injury, medical expenses & ongoing medical expenses, damages and the overall net loss (loss of job & wages) relating from the accident.

The severity of injury such as amputations or head injuries may result in higher amounts of compensation while bruised legs and minor burns typically result in lower amounts of compensation. Medical expenses & ongoing medical expenses is directly related to the accident. If you are currently seeking ongoing physical therapy or hospitalized for an extended period of time, the compensation you receive may be much higher than a minor injury. Ongoing medical treatments can be one of the many different reasons on why a personal injury case can take so long to settle.

Other damages to consider is personal property. There tends to be hard numbers when personal property is damaged because you can put a tangible and hard estimated cost on property. As far as loss of wages these costs can vary depending upon how long you are out of work or possibly if you are not able to work at all.

The compensation and the amount of time waiting for a settlement for a personal injury can vary depending upon these factors and others.

It is unfortunate that many people that suffer personal injury related accidents don't have the luxury or financial backing to wait for their settlements. Some people even make the mistake of settling too early because they are in need of cash to help pay for increasing expenses. If you are one of these people that are in need of money now, help is near.
