What is an out of court settlement?

If you have been injured in an Illinois car accident, then you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other accident related expenses. While an insurer may offer to compensate you for some of the damages, you may not feel that you’ve been offered as much as you deserve.

One way to pursue your rightful compensation is to work with a lawyer and file a personal injury lawsuit to recover the damages owed to you. But before your lawsuit ever goes to court, you and the other party involved may agree upon an out of court settlement.

What is an out of court settlement?

An out of court settlement is how most personal injury claims get resolved. By definition, an out of court settlement is:

“A legal arrangement, initiated and completed outside of the formal judicial process, without the involvement of courts and judges.”

This basically refers to a settlement offer that both you and the other party agree on without interference of the court. Out of court settlements can be negotiated before a trial begins or even during a trial but before the final verdict and award is reached.

How can a Chicago personal injury lawyer help?

Usually an out of court settlement is arranged by the attorneys of the parties that are involved. A lawyer can represent your interests, and negotiate the terms of the settlement that you deserve. Once an agreement has been reached, your lawyer can handle all of the necessary paperwork, and ensure that you receive the money based on the agreed upon terms of the settlement.

Hiring a Chicago Personal Injury Lawyer

After a serious accident, you should be able to recover from your injuries without worrying about going to court. While you adjust to life after your injury, you can take comfort in knowing you don’t have to handle an Illinois personal injury lawsuit alone.
