As you are driving to work with your baby in the back seat, you are suddenly broadsided by someone who failed to stop at the stop sign.  Your car is plowed into the neighbors yard through the chain link fence and wraps around an electric pole. 

As you lay there waiting for emergency help, you are having difficulty breathing due to your broken ribs and your baby is silent, rendered unconscious from the impact.  You begin to worry about the condition of your child.  Will you or your child be disabled?  Who will pay for all of these medical bills?  How will you pay anything because you cannot go back to work?  What happens next?

Not all accidents result in legal claims.  Some accidents do not result in injuries.  In a personal injury case, you need to show that you were injured as a result of someone else's negligence.
The compensation that you could recover includes lost wages, medical bills and compensation for pain and suffering. 

Settlement Negotiation or Lawsuit?

Not all injury cases result in a lawsuit.  Nor do all injury cases go to trial.  A great majority are settled with the defendant's insurance company.  In a settlement, an insurance company agrees to pay the injured victim compensation in exchange for the injured victim giving up any and all claims against the defendant and the defendant's insurance company.  This is called a release.
