Experienced injury lawyers in Tucson can recover a substantial amount of money for plaintiffs who have been seriously harmed due to someone else’s negligence. Maximum insurance policy limits may apply in these cases to cover current and future loss of income as well as all medical expenses, including for future treatments and surgeries that doctors predict will be necessary.
Filing a Lawsuit
Injury lawyers in Tucson also can file a lawsuit if the damages reach an amount above and beyond the maximum that the insurer is obligated to pay. However, there must be a person or a business entity that can be sued without this being a pointless effort. Many individuals do not have a great deal of money or assets. Suing someone who rents an apartment and has $10,000 in savings is probably not worthwhile. On the other hand, filing suit against a corporation may allow the plaintiff to recover significantly more money.
Settling Before Trial
Even after a lawsuit is filed, most of the cases are settled without a trial. Both sides may be somewhat uncertain whether they will win, and going to trial is risky. In cases where it’s relatively obvious that negligence caused an accident and the trial outcome is more predictable, the business being sued will usually try to negotiate a settlement. It may take until almost the last minute for the two sides to come to an agreement, but trial still is usually avoided.
Money for Pursuing Treatment
People who have been seriously injured and are likely to suffer permanent negative consequences may still hope for a miracle. A large settlement cannot turn back the clock to before the accident, but it can help them cope with the future and perhaps pursue their hope for that miracle.
Someone with a spinal cord injury, for instance, may be able to pursue costly experimental therapy that has shown great promise. Someone with a severe traumatic brain injury may need many months of physical and occupational therapy to recover enough to live fairly normally again. Attorneys with a firm such as Price and Price Law help clients and their families acquire the money they deserve.
