Gotten many tickets dropped or the charge reduced to a non moving violation. Yes it would be great if they all could be dropped but at the end of the day my insurance is still affordable. Anyone leaving bad reviews about the Merrill's not getting a charge totally dismissed did not listen or read well enough when entering the contact as they make it very clear that both are a possibility.

Getting Your Money, Your Settlement

Is the money that is coming to you after the case is completed.

Considerations That Will Effect Getting Your Money.

The Settlement is funds that are dispersed to cover all the bills related to your case and help to make things right for you.

Those bills include:

• Attorney fees. Your contract with your attorney has a percentage of your settlement, that they have agreed to be paid to work this case for you.
• Medical bills. Any unpaid medical bills will need to be paid from this settlement.
• Subrogation. If your insurance has paid any of your bills related to this case, they are entitled to get that money back. Your attorney can work to lower those fees.

The Bottom Line Getting Your Money

When all the expenses have been paid, any remaining funds will be distributed to you.

There are many ways an experienced attorney can fight for the settlement that you deserve.

Pay Your Medical Bills

To Pay Your Medical Bills

A lot of people think that somebody ran into my car, I got injured, so that person’s insurance company is going to pay for all of my medical bills, and it is going to be fine. My insurance company is not necessarily involved. And that is not really the case.

Personal Injury Protection

Most of the time they have Personal Injury Protection. Someone hits my car, I have auto insurance, I have Personal Injury Protection, most people have it, through their auto insurance. That Personal Injury Protection is going to pay your medical bills until this settlement is reached from the at fault insurance company. The at-fault insurance company is not going to pay your medical bills, yet.

The Settlement

The settlement that we send out, we will send them the demand saying, these are all the damages that my client suffered. Give us this much money.

The at fault insurance company is going to settle. We will agree on a settlement, we will negotiate, whatever the settlement is. The money that your insurance company paid for your medical bills is going to get reimbursed, at a reduction. So most of the time they will reduce one third, so if they pay out $10,000, we only have to pay back $6,666. The rest of that money goes to you.

The Settlement Includes Money To Pay Your Medical Bills

So a lot of people think that the at-fault insurance is going to pay for everything. That is not necessarily the case, usually they are not going to pay until the settlement is reached. But the settlement is going to include all of your medical bills to reimburse whoever has paid for it at that time. Whether it be your auto insurance, or sometimes your health insurance will pay for your medical bills with the intention that they are going to get reimbursed at the settlement.

A lot of people say well this person injured me, so they are going to pay for everything right now, but that is just not really how life works. That is not the system that we have, but that is why you hire us.

We are going to take care of that for you. We are going to help you out and get you the settlement that you deserve.

We deal with the insurance companies

We can deal with the insurance companies and get them a settlement. If someone’s injured and they want help or representation getting compensated for their injury. 

Most of the cases we have are car accidents, pedestrians being hit by a car, we have a lot of dog bite cases, really any injury. It’s pretty overwhelming when someone gets in an accident. They have to deal with the medical, going to doctors and everything, getting better. 

They have to deal with the insurance companies. The insurance companies are always trying to talk to them, hound them, I guess.  And so it’s nice for us to kind of take that burden off of them. 

They can focus on getting better, healing, working through their injuries. Helping take the weight off of their shoulders and that’s kind of what we do. We get them a settlement and get them the money that they deserve from being injured.

Dog Bite Settlements

Ever since we were kids, many of us can remember a dog that was a big part of our lives. It may have been a loved family pet, or maybe it was your best friend’s dog that you would play with when you went to their house after school. It seems that as the summer months wind down, you can’t take a walk around your neighborhood or go for a picnic in the park without seeing someone walking with their dog, hopefully on a leash, but that’s another blog. But even with all the good experiences with dogs we’ve had in our lives, all it takes is one bad experience to change your life.  

Anyone from young kids to the elderly can be victims of a dog bite and the unfortunate reality of this is that, in an instant, it changes your life forever.  The short-term physical effects may have the potential for high medical bills. We realize there is so much more that happens to you when you are a victim of a dog bite. You will never look at dogs the same way again. Being anxious and on edge every time you see a dog. Even seeing a cute playful puppy in the park can give you flashbacks. Living your normal life again can be next to impossible. 

Steps Related to Dog Bite Settlements

Sometimes there’s nothing we can do to avoid falling victim, but there are certain things we can keep in mind that will help us if we ever get in this unfortunate situation. 

1. Get the medical help you need. This seems obvious, but there can be so much going through our mind in this time of panic that we may not think our injuries are as bad as they are. The dog could be carrying a disease, especially if it is a dog you don’t know. The best thing to do is to go to the doctor immediately and get the medical help you need for your injuries. 
2. Get the dog owner’s insurance information. Dog’s and dog bites are likely covered by the owner’s homeowner’s insurance and this is the information you want to get so that you can make a claim to get compensated for any damages that you might suffer, including medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, etc. If you can’t get their insurance information, get the owner’s contact information. Having a way to get in touch with the dog owner will save you lots of headaches down the road when it comes to making a claim for your injuries.  
3. Call a local attorney. After getting treatment for your injuries, calling an attorney who has experience representing victims of dog bites is the most important thing you can do. Even if you’re unsure about what your next steps are, a short phone call with an experienced attorney can give you the guidance you need to move forward and get the legal representation you need. 

At Merrill Law, we will be by your side every step of the way. From getting your medical bills paid by the right people, to recovering and getting you the settlement you deserve. We know how stressful this process can be, but you don’t have to go through this alone. We will be there for you.

Personal Injury Accidents

While listening to the traffic report during my morning commute I am amazed how often an accident happens. I wonder how my family would fare if I was injured in an accident.

Statistics

According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration general statistics for motor vehicle collisions.  In 2015, there were 6.3 million police reported accidents, in which 2.44 million people were injured.  This makes the average number of people injured per day 7,073.

What are the odds?

Stop and think about that for a moment – every day of the year over 7,000 people a day are getting injured in almost 17,000 accidents.  There are over 250 million cars on the roads making the chances of you being in an accident are 0.0068% – the question you have to ask yourself is – do you feel lucky?

The reality is that you may drive to the office every week of your working career and never be in an accident, but if you are – here are a few things you must ensure you do to protect yourself and your family.

Understanding Liability and Personal Injury Protection Insurance

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, be sure that you get the insurance information for all the parties involved in the accident.  

The insurance company of the at fault persons insurance will cover the damages to your car and also your medical bills if you are injured.  

Personal injury protection is an additional insurance that can be purchased with your liability insurance coverage.  It is an extension of your liability insurance and may be used to help cover medical expenses, and sometimes lost wages and other damages.
