FAQs
What should I do if the insurance company offers me a low settlement?
You should not accept the first offer the insurance company will give you, as this will usually not be the best offer. Whether you need a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles or elsewhere in California, you should call JSM Injury Firm APC to help you negotiate a reasonable and legitimate settlement.
Can I sue others for pain and suffering?
This is a popular question, because personal injury victims often claim damages for the pain and suffering they have to go through. To all personal injury victims, you can sue for pain and suffering. Pain and suffering is important in any personal injury claim, but is difficult to determine without details, because everyone has a different tolerance to pain.
Do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
You do not have to file a personal injury lawsuit if you are involved in an accident. But, filing a lawsuit can help protect your rights and will allow you to be compensated for your injuries and any other damages that you have sustained. Then, if the insurance company wrongfully denies your claim or makes a low-ball settlement offer, you can file a lawsuit against your insurance company. As a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, with offices in California, we will help you with the filing process.
What are the factors that affect the compensation I will receive?
The amount of compensation you will receive due to your injuries depends on many factors, for example: how much pain and suffering is caused, the type and severity of your injuries, the time you will need to recover from your injuries, as well as your job duties and functions.
What is the role of an insurance company in a personal injury claim?
Insurance companies are involved in most personal injury cases because insurance companies cover many of the harms and losses that occur in a personal injury. For example, most people have car insurance to cover an auto accident or homeowners insurance to cover a slip and fall accident. The responsible party has an agreement with their insurance company to insure them if they cause the injury. The settlement money generally comes from an insurance company, not the responsible party. Thus, an insurance company is often involved in a personal injury case as part of the resolution process.
