It\u2019s been perhaps several weeks since the accident that injured your child<\/a>; perhaps she is still undergoing treatment, or perhaps she\u2019s been released to your care. You\u2019ve dealt with the initial trauma and chaos surrounding this life-altering event. Now comes one of the most critical stages of your case: The all-important insurance negotiation process with the at-fault party\u2019s insurance company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is this negotiation dance so important? According to <\/span>The Law Dictionary<\/span><\/i><\/a>, only 4-5 percent of all personal injury cases<\/a> ever make it to trial\u2014which means your case has <\/span>at least<\/span><\/i> a 95 percent chance of being settled out of court. If this statistic holds true for your case, your child\u2019s settlement amount will be determined in these negotiations. The right point made at the right time can add thousands to the settlement, while saying\/doing the wrong thing can cost you. (For these reasons, your attorney<\/a> needs to be just as skilled at negotiating as he is with arguing before a judge\u2014if not more so.)<\/span><\/p>\n
