How long will it take to try my case?
It is hard to say because every case is different, especially those dealing with personal injury claims. After consulting with you about your case, the Oklahoma personal injury lawyers of Fry & Elder will have a general idea of how long it will take. If your personal injury case is complex, a settlement might not be made for a year or longer.
What is the value of my case?
Not only is this question one of the most commonly asked in regards to Oklahoma personal injury cases, but it also is one of the toughest to answer. Until all the information has been gathered, and you have recovered from your injury, it is hard to determine the value of a case. The value of it will be based on a number of factors including, but not limited to: the cost of your medical bills, income lost due to the injury and if you suffered any permanent injuries.
The insurance company has offered a settlement and said I do not need an attorney. Should I accept the settlement?
While on the surface this might seem like a good deal, and the least amount of hassle for you, it cannot be stated enough that the goal of any insurance company is to minimize any settlement payment. Quite often, insurance adjusters are given financial incentives to settle claims as quickly and as cheap as possible. That is a big reason why most insurance companies will send an adjuster out to meet with you very soon after your accident. Usually, they will try and tempt you to accept an offer that would be immediately paid out. This just further reiterates their desire to get you to quickly settle, thus keeping you from every realizing the full potential and value of your claim.
