The Law Offices of Morton J. Shuman, P.C. • April 22, 2021

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle, slip and fall or work-related accident, don’t let the insurance company victimize you for a second time. An insurance claim adjuster may act friendly and treat you well. They may actually let you believe they are on your side and offer you a cash settlement; one that is in their best interests – not yours. It can take several months, even longer, to properly document and evaluate a personal injury claim. A proper settlement takes into consideration the full nature and extent of one’s injuries and potential damages. Some injuries can take a long time to heal and their consequences may not be known for quite a while. We have all heard the expression, “Beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.”


Those who suffer physical harm as the result of negligent actions by others are legally required to be restored to their pre-injury condition. Both economic (out-of-pocket) and non-economic (loss of physical and mental well-being) losses are restored through monetary compensation. The term “general damages” refers to such non-economic losses as “pain and suffering.” The value placed upon such loss is largely left to the discretion of the jury. “Special damages,” on the other hand, are damages awarded for such compensable harms as medical expenses and lost wages. These can easily be quantified with the aid of bills, pay stubs, etc. Thus, it is important for plaintiffs to keep a full accounting of their losses so that they might receive compensation.


​Before accepting any settlement offers, you should consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Handling a case on your own may actually cost you in the long run. The Law Offices of Morton J. Shuman, P.C. has a proven track record of successfully handling personal injury claims.
