What is the difference between a claim and a lawsuit?

Typically, a claim is filed with an insurance company in an attempt to obtain a reasonable settlement for the injuries and losses sustained by an injured person because of the negligence of another person or company. A lawsuit is a legal action filed before the court that seeks compensation from the individual, corporation, government agency, or insurance company that caused your injuries and damages. Discuss your case with a knowledgeable attorney to determine the best option for your situation.
