As we have stated many times before on this site, the key to successfully resolving your personal injury case is:

-To be honest with your lawyer, your medical providers and even your adversary throughout the entirety of your case; and
-Listen carefully to your lawyer’s advice and recommendations.

It is not easy to obtain favorable verdicts and settlements in personal injury cases as insurance companies, physicians and manufacturers are winning the publicity war. However, you do still stand a chance of obtaining fair compensation for your injuries if you hire an experienced personal injury lawyer, tell the truth and listen to your lawyer’s advice and recommendations.
