Frequently Asked Questions
It’s strongly advised that you do not sign any release forms before speaking with your attorney. Signing a release too early can prevent you from pursuing additional compensation in the future—even if new injuries or costs arise. At MSPG Law Group, we’re here to protect your rights and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve. Insurance companies may offer quick settlements, but these often fall short of covering long-term medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages—especially if you’re still in recovery or unaware of the full extent of your injuries. Always consult your attorney first to avoid jeopardizing your case.
Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party—called an arbitrator—hears evidence and arguments from both sides and then makes a decision. Unlike mediation, where the goal is to help both parties reach a mutual agreement, arbitration results in a decision made by the arbitrator, which is typically legally binding. This means both parties must accept the outcome, much like a court ruling. Arbitration is often used to resolve disputes more quickly and privately than traditional litigation.
Mediation is a confidential settlement process that takes place before a case goes to trial. During mediation, the plaintiff, defendant, and their attorneys meet with a neutral third party—called a mediator—who helps facilitate discussions and guide both sides toward a mutually acceptable resolution. The mediator is often a retired judge or experienced attorney familiar with the legal issues involved. While the mediator does not make binding decisions, they assist in identifying common ground and encouraging compromise. If an agreement is reached, the case can be resolved without going to court. If not, the case proceeds to trial as scheduled. Importantly, anything discussed during mediation remains confidential and cannot be used at trial.
The value of a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the type of case, insurance policy limits, and the extent of injuries sustained. While there’s no exact formula, five key elements are typically considered when evaluating a claim (assuming liability is clear):
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of earning capacity
- Lost wages
- Past medical expenses
- Estimated future medical costs
