My name is Kim Cullen, a personal injury attorney with 31 years of experience. My firm, based in Winter Park, Florida has successfully collected over $10 million for our deserving clients. Through our extensive experience, we’ve learned the key strategies to maximize a personal injury settlement.
Top Tip: Be 100% Truthful
Our number one tip to maximize your settlement is to be completely truthful about how the accident happened and the extent of your injuries. Nothing can damage a case more than when an injured party tells an insurance adjuster or defense attorney that they can’t do a specific activity (like playing golf), only to be caught on video doing that very activity. Insurance defense teams often use surveillance to catch inconsistencies in injury claims. When shown to a jury, such videos can easily undermine an otherwise strong personal injury case.
On the other hand, being consistent and truthful about your case’s facts will portray you as an honest individual to a jury. Over the years, we’ve found that juries (and insurance companies) tend to reward those who are truthful.
Bottom Line
The best way to maximize a personal injury case is to be honest about all details related to your case.
