1. If we win, how long does it take
to receive the money?
If a verdict is rendered in your favor, it usually takes a few weeks
to a month to finalize the results. If the defense attorney does
not appeal the verdict, your lawyer will work out the final figures
with respect to the verdict, interest, court costs, deductions and
attorneys' fees.
2. What happens if we lose?
Hopefully, you will not lose. If you do, your lawyer will discuss
the possibilities of appeal. Appeal is usually a very expensive
process but your lawyer will advise you whether or not appeal
is appropriate.
3. If we lose, is it sill possible
to get a settlement?
In a few rare cases, the insurance company may be willing to offer
a nominal settlement to avoid an appeal. This is not very probable.
The best thing to do is to concentrate on winning your case. If
your case is clear on liability (fault of the other party) and
you have prepared yourself well for trial, the chances are that
you will win your case. Justice usually prevails.
