Will My Injury Case Go to Trial?

Answer:

You may be curious if your case will go to trial. We’re not going to know that until we know more about your case. We take great pride in doing everything possible to try to resolve a case without it having to go to trial. Trials are time consuming, expensive, and many clients don’t want to go through the process of a jury trial. However, we don’t know right away if the insurance company is going to be reasonable and understanding.
If they don’t accept your damages, for whatever reason. If they take that position and it’s an unwarranted position, then we will indeed recommend that we file a lawsuit. Many times when we file lawsuits, the cases don’t end up going to trial. We go through alternative dispute resolution, which is mediation or arbitration to trying to avoid trial. It’s required under many circuit civil cases that we undertake, and we’re doing everything we can to try to avoid putting our client in the risk of having to go through a trial.

Nonetheless, we will indeed go to trial. We try cases frequently, and we’re going to do everything we can in a courtroom to prevail if that case does go to trial. We’re not going to know the answer to that question at the beginning of the case, but we’ll have a better understanding of the answer to that question as the case progresses and as we learn whether the insurance company is going to be reasonable and understanding and paying proper, reasonable compensation for your losses, injuries, and for how those injuries have affected you.
