Settlement FAQs

Springfield personal injury lawyers may be able to answer questions that you have about settlement.

Questions of Liability

If it is not clear who was liable for the accident, a lawyer may advise you to settle your claim for a lower amount, rather than pursue a lawsuit that probably will not be successful.

Comparative Negligence

If your own negligence contributed to the accident, your recovery may be reduced by the proportionate share that you had in the negligence of causing the accident.
