Can A Person Settle A Personal Injury Claim Without A Lawyer

Section 9. Can A Person Settle A Personal Injury Claim Without A Lawyer

Absolutely yes! Injured people can settle personal injury claims without a lawyer. However, I would suggest that people try to settle only minor soft tissue cases with minor medical bills. The more severe the injuries and damages, the more complex the case and the more difficult it is to reach a fair settlement.

If you do want to try to settle you own personal injury claim, be sure to gather together copies of police report(s), incident report(s), witness statement(s), photographs, lost wage statements, and medical records including ambulance, emergency room, hospital, nurse's notes, lab reports, doctor reports, and bills.

You need to know all about your case so that you can tell the insurance adjuster why you believe that you are entitled to compensation and why you believe that you are entitled to a certain dollar amount as compensation. If you know all about you case, you can determine if the insurance adjuster is misrepresenting any facts and correct the information. If you do not know all about your case, the insurance adjuster may misrepresent some facts and BS you into accepting less compensation.

The above is general information only and may or may not be applicable to your situation. If you have any questions whatsoever, talk with a lawyer licensed in your state.
