Maybe not, as most lawsuits are settled before trial. Whether your case goes to trial depends on the specific details of your personal injury claim. For example, the following factors may be relevant to whether your personal injury lawyer and the insurance company are able to agree on a settlement amount:
- The extent of your injuries. Typically, the more significant your injuries, the harder it is to reach a fair settlement. The insurance carrier has more at stake and may try to keep your settlement as low as possible.
- The evidence available in your claim. The quality of the evidence may be a factor in your settlement. Strong evidence that's hard to refute might make the insurance adjuster more likely to settle because the outcome at trial may be more certain.
- Receiving a fair settlement. Ultimately, if the insurance carrier agrees to fair compensation, then a settlement can occur.
