Sometimes, injured individuals have an unrealistic expectation as to how much they will recover. The amount of recovery in a particular case can vary drastically, depending on the slightest change in the facts or matters related to strategy, in negotiating or litigating the claim. Unrealistic expectations can actually lead to less recovery and, if the case is lost, no recovery.

Sometimes, claimants are bullied into settling for too little. Claims representation by experienced counsel should allow you to know whether your claim is being undervalued. It is common for claims representatives, whose interests may be to minimize the amount of the claim, to get a claimant to settle for too little.

The law was written to provide for compensation in appropriate circumstances. Monetary compensation is usually the only remedy available; seldom can a wrongdoer undo the injury or the mistake. Also, what seems inconsequential at one point in time may be very important later. A silent medical condition may only become apparent years after injury.

There are many circumstances in which claims must be filed within a specific time period, or are forever lost. For example, some claims for lost wages must be filed within six (6) months from the date the claim first arose. In other circumstances, a client may have as long as three years after injury before filing suit.
