(314) 500-HURTLitigation, simply put, is the process of taking legal action. In personal injury cases, litigation is the process of resolving a dispute through the public court system once an insurance adjuster will not meet your settlement demand or will not negotiate in good faith.
In a typical car accident or slip and fall claim, your attorney will begin the process of getting you compensation by sending a settlement demand package to the negligent party’s insurance company. The package will include proof of their policyholder’s liability, and complete records of the economic damages and non-economic damages you deserve compensation for. In some cases, the insurance company may accept the demand, but usually they will offer less money, sometimes substantially less. If your attorney does not feel the insurance company will be fair without the threat of a trial, they will file a formal complaint in court, beginning the initial stages of a lawsuit, or litigation.
The litigation process is long, and consists of several intertwining steps:
While personal injury attorneys and insurance companies prefer to reach a settlement in initial talks instead of a lengthy trial, often, pursuing litigation is the only way to ensure you get the full compensation you deserve.
Client Reviews
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!
