Injury settlement Facts

Question - How do you collect your injury settlement from the insurance company? You simply have to get in touch with them about the judgment. Usually, they will simply write you a check for the damages up to the limit on their policy.

Question - how do you collect your injury settlement when the person has no insurance, like an un-insured driver? This is much more difficult. Once you obtain a judgment, you must then seek to enforce it. There are some lawyers who specialize in this kind of thing, and it would be a good idea to enlist the help of one of these specialists when seeking compensation from someone without insurance.

Question - can you ask your lawyer to see a copy of the settlement check? Yes, you can and you should definitely do so. You have every right to see a copy of it, since your name and the name of your attorney are generally both written out on it.

You may have many questions to ask about injury settlement, as the subject can be very confusing and hard to understand to those who have never been through it before. Just remember this - as a general rule, good legal counsel is the first step. You should definitely get a lawyer if you have any uncertainty about how to go about accomplishing a settlement. If you just have to deal with an insurance company on a simple claim, this might not be necessary, but usually a lawyer will help you out, especially if the case is complicated and requires court processes.

Whatever the case is, your attorney will be able to answer all of your questions. If you are not sure whether or not you need a lawyer, you can generally get a free consultation before they take the case.
