Deciding Between Charlotte Personal Injury Settlement and Litigation
The attorneys of the Law Offices of Estwanik & May, PLLC considers many factors before advising you to accept a personal injury settlement or pursue a lawsuit to obtain compensation for your situation. We weigh the following considerations before we make a recommendation:
- Extent of injuries: Minor to moderate injuries can often be fully compensated without the need for a jury trial because the full extent of medical expenses and other costs is known without concern for the future expenses that are more typical for serious injuries. When injuries are likely to result in long-term costs or require special care for a lifetime, injury litigation is more likely to result in awards that can compensate for these extensive losses.
- Time considerations: Choosing a personal injury settlement over an injury litigation typically results in significantly longer receipt of compensation. Time can be an important factor in making this decision.
- Amount of compensation: Overall, a personal injury lawsuit often earns more compensation. But, many people feel the stress and complexities associated with litigation outweigh any potential monetary advantages. As long as you are likely to be fully compensated for all your expenses from a personal injury settlement.
