San Francisco Personal Injury Attorney

What is a settlement?

When a person is seriously injured in an accident that is the result of another's' negligence, the injured individual is entitled to compensation for his or her injuries. An experienced and skilled San Francisco personal injury attorney can ensure that your rights are protected and that you are not taken advantage of by insurance companies. Statistically, it is more likely that a personal injury claim will be resolved in an out-of-court settlement than in court. Having to go through a civil court case can be time consuming and stressful, and most claims can be settled prior to court. When this is impossible, it is necessary to take the case to trial to recover the full compensation that you are due.

With over 60 years of experience, we are always ready to take a case to court for our clients when it is necessary. In many cases, however, we are able to reach a pre-trial agreement that is beneficial. The attorney that you choose will have a marked effect on the outcome of your case. He or she can pursue your best interests by reaching a settlement with the other party or fighting for your rights in court when your claim is not satisfied fairly through a settlement. Having your case reviewed by an attorney can help you to discover approximately what your claim is worth and what your best course of action is at this time.
