Indiana Injury Lawyer - FAQ

If you have been injured contact a Indiana injury lawyer at Woods and Woods today.

How much money is my case worth?
Your case is worth either what we tell the insurance company it’s worth or the amount of an award granted by a judge and jury. We examine all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to arrive at a figure that we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries. These conditions include how the accident happened, what injuries you suffered, future medical problems, the amount of medical expenses and lost income, as well as future medical costs and future loss of income. We study every detail so that we can get you the money you deserve for your injuries.

How long will it take to get a fair and reasonable settlement offer?
Everyone knows that our legal system can be slow. Cases can vary in length from weeks, months, even to years in some instances. But there are some valid reasons for this. For example, most settlements and awards for injuries can't begin to be negotiated until medical treatment has been completed. The more medical treatment you receive, the more valuable your case becomes. We want you to get fully compensated for your injuries, so we wait until treatment is completed before telling the insurance company how much your case is worth. But, in the meantime, we never rest. While we wait for your treatment to be completed, we gather the information that increases the value of your case. We constantly do everything we can to move your case forward toward settlement.

Will I have to go to court?
If the insurance company agrees to pay what we say your case is worth, then your case will not go to court. This is what happens in most situations. Some cases do require a formal trial proceeding, however. In either situation hiring a law firm with experience in handling personal injury cases is critical. We prepare all of our cases as if they are going to court, and this is the very reason why most of our cases get settled outside of court. We are always prepared, and our preparation allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, helping you get the maximum award for your injuries.
