What if the other party stalls or refuses to pay my settlement in a construction accident case?

If the other party in a construction accident case stalling or refusing to pay your settlement, there are several options available to you. In Maryland, the process to bring a claim forward is generally handled in two ways. The first option is to take the other party to court. This will involve having to go through the legal process to file a lawsuit against them and filing a motion for a judge to compel them to pay the settlement. The cost of taking this action will depend on the complexity of your case and the amount of money involved. It is also important to note that a judge may not find in your favor and may even rule against you if there is not enough evidence to support your claim. The second option is to hire an attorney to negotiate directly with the other party on your behalf. An attorney will be able to leverage their experience and knowledge to help reach a settlement outside of the court. An attorney may also be able to help build a case to support your claim or seek punitive damages from the other party. No matter which option you choose, it is important to remember that the other party is still legally obligated to pay your settlement. If they are unwilling to do so, it may be necessary to take further legal action to enforce the settlement.
