Vehicle Accident Settlements in Parker
Most car crashes are handled through settlements, and involve the claimant, the defendant, their insurance companies, and their respective local lawyers negotiating a fair recovery. Settlement discussions can proceed even as a lawsuit is underway.
In Texas, insurance companies representing the at fault person currently have no duties to others their insured injured. That means that the third-party carrier has no duties to act in good faith and may engage in unfair claim settlement practices. For these reasons, it is even more important that you have a well-seasoned attorney, that understands the tricks and traps, fighting for your rights.
Each car accident settlement negotiation is a unique process. Both parties must consider the severity of the claimant’s injuries, loss of past and future earnings, and medical expenses. Skilled legal counsel could help someone injured in a vehicle wreck determine if they are being offered a fair settlement.
