Handling Out of Court Cases Effectively


If you previously had a car, work or any type of accident involving property or personal injury losses and you want to save time, you could settle cases out of court against your offender. As the victim of the incident, you could call to have your complaint against the offender settled with an out of court agreement to avoid high court hearing and legal consultation costs. 


First, you’ll need to assess the damages done to you. In a personal injury case, a medical professional can estimate your physical injuries including pain and suffering. In a car accident, you save time having a qualified repair shop make the estimates on your vehicle. These estimates help you get the ammunition you need when you face off against your offender.

Second, have a legal representative help you make a letter of complaint against your offender and give them an option to settle out of court paying the total amount of compensation you’ll need based on the information from your medical certificate for your injuries or the total repair costs from the qualified repair shop.

Be sure to highlight the fact that your offender can save time and money on legalities if they can agree to settle the dispute amount. Your legal representative can also press other charges against your offender, so it is best you also indicate this in the letter. Have the letter notarized.
Inform the right authorities about the out of court settlement of your case to clear your police report and close the file.
