How Do I Know If I Have Been Offered a Fair Settlement? (Part A)

If you have recently been in a situation that resulted in a personal injury, you may be entitled to compensation for your injury-related expenses. If you have been offered a settlement in Massachusetts by an insurance company, you will want to hire a Massachusetts personal injury attorney to make sure that you are being offered a fair settlement and that you aren't being taken advantage of.

Your Massachusetts personal injury attorney will be able to examine your medical records, police reports, paycheck stubs (for missed work) and other evidence to calculate the impact your injury has had on your life. This calculation will begin to tell you if the settlement your insurance company has offered will address all of your accident expenses.

What Goes Into a Personal Injury Settlement

Consider the following factors when looking at what you are owed for a personal injury:

• Have you lost income from your job and will you continue to lose income based on the severity of your personal injury?
• What will your medical costs be and will there be any future medical costs based on the severity of your personal injury?
• Have you been emotionally or mentally traumatized as a result of a personal injury to yourself or a family member?

Depending on the amount of damage caused, the party liable for your injuries, and the provisions of your insurance policy, you may need to deal with both your insurance company and the defendant's insurance company. It is important to never sign any paperwork or make a statement to an insurance company without first consulting with a Massachusetts personal injury attorney in order to ensure you are not waiving your rights to future compensation.
