Your Case: Real Life, Not a TV Drama

When somebody else’s carelessness or other wrongdoing has caused you physical harm, you have a long road ahead. You have your physical recovery to focus on, a mountain of medical bills piling up, and an uncertain future. Of course you want to put it all behind you and begin rebuilding your life as quickly as possible—that’s completely natural.

Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to wrap up this unfortunate chapter in your life like a one-hour courtroom drama. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just as it takes time to heal from injuries, it also can take time to determine the long-term repercussions stemming from your accident.

Settling Out of Court

Many cases settle out of court, and that’s certainly quicker than resolving a complex court battle. Settling out of court is quicker and less costly, but is still not an instant gratification affair. Fighting for your future is not a one-hour network drama.

Working with a dedicated, experienced personal injury lawyer is the best way to help get you the maximum compensation to which you’re entitled. In order to do so, your attorney needs to present a comprehensive case. That’s not something that happens overnight.

If You Go to Trial

If it becomes necessary to take your case to trial, you could be looking at a wait of over a year—and that’s just the wait to go to trial. Preparing the case, interviewing witnesses, compiling evidence and experts to testify, your lawyer will bring all these elements together while you await trial.

While it may seem unfair to have to wait so long, this can actually be an advantage. It takes time to determine what far-reaching effects your injuries will have on your future. Between lost earning potential, ongoing expenses, and pain and suffering, your injuries can end up costing you more than you may have believed just weeks after your accident.

Experienced personal injury attorneys know they can use the time it takes to resolve a case to their client’s advantage. It won’t happen tomorrow, but we’ll fight hard to help get you the highest compensation possible for your injuries.

Don’t delay. The law limits the time you have to file a claim. The sooner you seek legal help, the sooner you may be able to recover damages.
