I bought this book as my granddaughter’s car was rear-ended by a woman who didn’t own the car she was driving. It was a nightmare to get any compensation for the totaled car.When I saw this book, I decided it was worth buying as in this day and age – there are way too many people talking/texting and driving like nuts. Plus many have inferior or no insurance.I really wish we would have had this book when my granddaughter’s car was totaled. The author (who is an attorney) walks you through documenting the facts, deciding if you have a case, working with the insurance adjuster, what to say to your insurance company and – this is a big one- things your insurance company may not voluntarily disclose to you and that you should know.This book is well worth buying based on the above information but the author goes a step further and covers things such as dog and other animal bites, slip and fall situations, work accidents, medical malpractice and more.This book is a fantastic reference and I highly recommend it.
This book is pretty amazing. I only wish I had found it sooner. It covers pretty much everything you need to know about winning and settling a personal injury claim. By studying these chapters, you'll be prepared to stand up for yourself against insurance companies. Hernandez explains the ins and outs of different types of personal injury claims, why insurance companies want to settle, and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone, because it is a necessity. You need to educate yourself and be prepared for unfortunate incidents where you are injured. The tiny settlement that the insurance company tries to offer will more than likely not be enough to cover medical expenses, time lost, and possibly your inability to return to work! An excellent book.
This book couldn't have possibly came into my life at a better time; I had an auto accident that got even worse afterwards when I found out that there are insurance issues with the person that collided into me and so I found the advice absolutely essential for my situation. Though I did learn a lot in general from the book, the chapters regarding auto accidents (predominantly chapter 56) were obviously especially helpful.The straightforward, clear writing style made it easier for me to understand the material without stumbling over any overly-sophisticated terminology or jargon. I really love how the author took the time to include even state-specific policies and it is a great testament to the effort that must have gone into writing this book. Definitely a strong 5 stars from me and I couldn't possibly be any more satisfied.
I was recently in an auto accident, and was looking for guidance as to how to go about making a personal injury claim. I wasn't sure about all of the aspects that went into the investigation. This book has given me the insight I need to make the right decisions and do the appropriate thing, so I am sure to win my claim. "Settlements Galore" is an excellent resource for many kinds of injuries that can happen in day to day life, such as dog bites, slip and falls, work related injuries and many more circumstances that could occur. I highly recommend this valuable book. A+
I started reading "Settlements Galore" because while I am not currently dealing with a person injury issue, I like to be well informed and prepared for every eventuality... and this guide book certainly did that for me. Arnold Hernandez takes the complicated and constantly shifting world of personal injury claims & legal processes and makes it easy to understand, easy to navigate and provides a solid foundation of knowledge so that you are able to properly deal with whatever personal injury issue you have.The book is casual yet informative with a straightforward and precise writing style that never fails to impart a great deal of much needed wisdom for the reader The book is well organized with the information organized into individual sections and chapters so that you can clearly absorb each area of a personal injury claim and gather the information you need to properly plan and assess you options. It goes into detail and provides a thorough understanding of all of the different areas of personal injury, the complicated legal battles that are involved and everything in between.Overall, when I finished this book I felt like I had a solid foundation of knowledge about my rights, my legal options regarding the injuries and a deeper understanding of how to start the legal proceedings for rectifying those personal injuries. I would definitely recommend the book to everyone who wants to know more about personal injury claims, whether you are dealing with one at the moment or just feels the need to be more prepared for one in the future.
When my mom slipped and fell in the grocery store, we had no idea what to do. We certainly could have used the valuable information in this book at that time. Everyone should know this information before they get injured so they know how to properly handle the incident and not lose out because they didn't file a report or just lived with the pain. Fortunately, everything turned out okay.
