What if the other party refuses to provide me with a settlement in a construction accident case?

If the other party refuses to provide you with a settlement in a construction accident case in Arkansas, then you may have grounds to file a lawsuit against them. You should consult a qualified lawyer to learn about your legal rights and options. Your lawyer could choose to file a lawsuit in civil court on your behalf. This would involve the other party being served with a “complaint” laying out the legal basis for your case. The court would then attempt to mediate a settlement between the two parties. If that fails, a judge or jury would then hear the evidence and make a decision, usually awarding the plaintiff (you) damages. The damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and they are typically awarded in an effort to make you “whole” or economically whole again. There is no guarantee that you will successfully receive a settlement, as that would depend on a variety of factors, such as the strength of your case, your lawyer’s skills, and the evidence presented. However, it is your right to pursue a settlement if the other party is not providing one, and it can be worth your effort in the long run.
