Will my motorcycle accident claim go to trial in North Carolina?
Most successful motorcycle accident claims don’t go all the way to a trial. In fact, we are able to settle most motorcycle accident claims without even having to file a lawsuit. The liability insurance company pays the victim an agreed-upon sum in exchange for waiving the right to sue.
Agreeing to a settlement has several potential advantages over going to trial, including:
- The parties have greater control than in an unpredictable jury trial.
- The matter can be resolved faster and with much lower expenses.
- The outcome is confidential.
However, some cases can benefit from filing a personal injury lawsuit and going to court. For instance, if the at-fault party or their insurer refuses to make a fair offer, you may need to take them to trial to recover the full amount you deserve. Our experienced attorneys can advise you on possible courses of action for your motorcycle accident case so you can make informed decisions.
