Will I have to go to court for a personal injury case?
The vast majority of personal injury claims get resolved without ever seeing the inside of a courtroom. Instead, the injured person and the insurance company reach a settlement after a thorough investigation and evaluation of losses.
However, some cases do move forward into a lawsuit if the parties disagree about who was responsible for the accident, the seriousness of the injuries, or the amount of compensation a victim is entitled to. Even so, filing a lawsuit doesn’t always mean a case will go all the way to trial. Negotiations often continue during the litigation process, giving the parties additional time and opportunity to resolve the case before a trial begins.
Your personal injury attorney can explain how the process may work in your situation and what to expect if your claim moves beyond settlement discussions.
