After a Judgment: Collecting Money
After a Judgment: Collecting Money
Collecting your money after a Southern California motorcycle accident trial is not always as simple as having the defendant cutting you a check after the trial has ended. Unlike in a Settlement, where the defendant will agree to pay you in return for dropping the lawsuit, a court case in which you have won your personal injury case is essentially asking the law to force the defendant to pay, even if the defendant believes that they should not have to. This can mean that they may refuse to pay or that due to financial instability they may not be able to pay. If this is the case in your motorcycle accident trial, it is important that you would have hired the California Attorney Group.
