TO FILE OR NOT TO FILE
EVERYTHING TO CONSIDER AFTER YOUR CAR ACCIDENT
Another example of costs are those related to the case, including the costs of court reporters for depositions or the costs for an expert witness to discuss the case as well as the cost of an expert deposition. If the costs outweigh the projected recovery, litigation is probably not a good idea. In some cases, it might be clear that if you file, more money will become available down the road. But in those instances, consider how far ahead you’ll really be after costs. Why go through the headache of the process if the costs associated with it will put you right back where you started? ‘Read’ the insurance company. The actions of the responsible party’s insurance company can spell out a lot when you’re trying to decide if filing is the right move. Insurance companies often want to settle rather than go to court because it means a guaranteed loss rather than risking a bigger loss during a trial. If an insurance company is quick to settle, it means they see clear liability and damages. But if they willingly want to go to court against your claim, it’s often because they believe they have a dispute in liability or your damages are weak. They will defend their client if they believe the plaintiff is wrong, which raises the risks for you. Every car accident is different, as is every outcome. If you’ve experienced an accident and aren’t sure if you should file, call our office for a free consultation about your best options.
No two car accidents are the same, so it can be tricky to know whether or not you should file your case and move forward. Every scenario depends on its own unique details, but there are some key indicators that can tell you whether or not it’s wise for you to file if you feel the responsible party and their insurance company aren’t giving you a fair shake. Consider costs. A plaintiff should always consider the increased attorney fee and case costs associated with litigation with what the client may ultimately recover. Many things eat away at recovery, and its important to be sure the damages are enough to offset the costs. For example, a plaintiff will have to pay back their health insurer related to the subject injury
