Most states have a three-year statute of limitations for car accidents, personal injuries resulting from negligence, and other kinds of negligence cases.

To negotiate a settlement, the victim must first send an official demand letter to their insurance company. This letter should include the amount of compensation they are entitled to. This includes medical bills as well as lost wages and future treatment costs and any subjective damages like suffering and pain. The insurance company is likely to counteroffer a lower amount. The exchange of information can last for months or even years before the settlement is made.

During this time the insurance company might attempt to reduce or reject any claims you may make. They may use tactics like soliciting excessive documentation or conducting thorough investigations or disputing your injuries' severity. They may also try to blame pre-existing medical conditions or locate evidence, such as surveillance videos or social media posts, to cut down the amount of money they have to pay.

During the trial the lawyer will present documents, photos, videos and computer simulations of the scene of the accident, eyewitness testimonies, expert witnesses and physical evidence. The defense will be able to refute the plaintiffs' case by presenting their own witnesses and evidence and your lawyer will be able interrogate witnesses for the defendant.

After all of the evidence has been presented, both sides will present their closing arguments. Your attorney will connect the evidence you've presented to the case that you are building and explain why the defendant should pay you the compensation you've asked for.

A good personal injury lawyer will also have a thorough understanding of jury verdicts that reveal what juries tend award accident victims with similar injuries to your own. They'll use this data to help you decide if to accept the insurance company's settlement offer or to go to trial.

Many people are reluctant to take their cases to trial because they don't want to be faced with the hassle of a long trial. However, an experienced accident lawyer will understand that settling with insurance companies is often not beneficial to their clients. They will fight to get you the highest amount of money possible so that you can start rebuilding your life.
