Personal injury
Injury claims, demand letters and settlements
An injury claim is settled with documents long before it is ever litigated. GO LAW drafts a demand letter or reads back a settlement and release, so what is being closed is visible before a signature closes it.

Questions people arrive with
What belongs in a demand letter?
What happened, why the other side is responsible, what it has cost so far and what is still expected, and a number with a date on it. Documentation attached beats adjectives every time.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
A limitation period set by state law, and it is short for some claims and shorter still against public bodies. It is the one deadline in this area that no document can extend.
What am I signing when I accept a settlement?
A release, almost always covering claims arising from the same incident whether or not they have appeared yet. That is why the medical picture being complete matters more than the figure.
