Should I Accept a Settlement?

The answer is: Not until you talk to an attorney. As soon as you’re able, we urge you to reach out to the law offices of Palm Desert personal injury attorneys the Law Offices of Scott Dinsmore, APC — especially before agreeing to any settlement with an insurance company.

At the Law Offices of Scott Dinsmore, APC, we have the resources and expertise to gather the crucial evidence that will be needed to establish proof as to who was actually at fault in your accident.

(Which is why we advise everyone to wear a helmet and avoid lane splitting.) We’ll obtain medical records, police reports and expert testimony to support your case. 

We aggressively negotiate with the insurance companies to make sure you get the compensation you deserve to cover all your losses — those you face today as well as those you will face in the future because of your injury.  If the insurance company refuses to pay the total compensation you are entitled to, we have the skill, dedication and resources to take the case to trial.
