Personal Injury Settlements in NW Washington and Oregon

Auto accidents, slips and falls, medical malpractice or medical negligence, and defective products can all result in serious personal injuries that can have long-term consequences.
If you have sustained a personal injury and the insurance company for the party at fault has contacted you to offer a personal injury settlement it might be a good idea to discuss your case with an Oregon personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Insurance companies are in business to make money and it is the job of insurance adjusters to close claims that are filed against their clients. When someone files a personal injury claim the insurance company must create a claim file, assign it to an insurance adjuster, set aside money in reserve for the potential claim payments, and do an investigation. These activities are time consuming and expensive and so if they can settle your personal injury claim quickly for a nominal amount they will do so.

The settlement offered by the insurance company for your personal injury may not be a fair amount. How could it be if they have not conducted a thorough investigation into your personal injury claim? Sometimes insurance companies will offer these nominal settlements or "nuisance value" settlements as they call them in an effort to make those who have suffered serious personal injuries go away so as to avoid additional costs.

If you have been offered a settlement early on following your accident involving a personal injury chances are you may have a good case with recovery potential much greater than the insurance company is offering. Consult with an Oregon personal injury attorney before you accept any settlement
