Typically most cases are able to be resolved through a settlement prior to trial.

However, unlike many personal injury lawyers who may quickly settle for lowball offers, Lagomarsino Law prepares every case as if it were going to trial. Our approach ensures the attention of insurance companies who recognize that we will take your case very seriously, and will follow through to the full extent of the law. In the rare event that a defendant’s insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement for your injuries, we will not hesitate to proceed to trial in order to recover compensation on your behalf.

Yes, there are other ways of resolving a personal injury case other than by going to court.

The majority of the cases handled by Lagomarsino Law are resolved before trial. The most common of these resolutions involves a settlement offer by the defendant’s insurance company. What we think is fair value for your case. we will present this offer to you as a possible resolution and discuss

Recently, there has been an increase in the use of private means for resolution, known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). One form of ADR is “mediation” – a non-binding situation in which an unbiased third party hears each side of the case and attempts to create a settlement acceptable to both parties. If mediation fails, the case may advance to trial without penalty to either party.

Another ADR option is “arbitration” where a private neutral party may be called on to decide the result of a case. Arbitration occurs outside a court room, although it is in many ways similar to trial before a judge. Prior to arbitration, the two parties make a legally binding contract that the decision of the arbitrator will be enforceable.

ADR has gained popularity as it is less costly than trial before a judge or jury and proceedings, and generally less formal than a courthouse setting. Lagomarsino Law is experienced in successfully negotiating cases through both mediation and arbitration.

Every case is unique. Thus, it is impossible to correctly estimate the exact duration of a certain case. Cases involving car accidents, dog bites, and defective or negligently maintained premises are generally resolved faster than more complicated negligence cases. For example, defective product cases, brain injury or slip and fall may take longer to resolve. While recovery in simple cases can sometimes occur in just a few months, it may take several years to recover fair value in more complex cases. Either way, Lagomarsino Law will work as efficiently as possible in order recover fair compensation for your injuries. Our lawyers pledge never to settle for a low offer merely for the sake of settling a case, if they believe you legally deserve more. Having managed thousands of cases, it is our experience that cases hastily completed generally produce lower recoveries than those afforded due diligence.
