If you’ve been injured in an automobile or trucking accident, one of the first questions you might have is: Will I have to go to court? This is a very common concern among potential clients who are considering filing a personal injury claim.
Most Cases Settle Before a Lawsuit Is Filed
The good news is that most personal injury cases settle before a lawsuit is even filed. Insurance companies often prefer to settle claims quickly to avoid costly litigation. So, in many instances, you won’t have to worry about stepping into a courtroom.
What Happens If a Lawsuit Is Filed?
Sometimes, a lawsuit is necessary to protect your rights or when settlement negotiations stall. However, even if a lawsuit is filed, it doesn’t always mean your case will go to trial. Experienced trial lawyers understand the stakes and will aggressively litigate your case to encourage the insurance company to offer a fair settlement.
In fact, it’s common for cases to settle after a lawsuit has been filed but before trial begins.
Be Wary of Attorneys Who Avoid Trial
It’s important to hire a skilled team of Atlanta, GA bicycle accident attorneys or personal injury lawyers who are experienced with the type of injury you have and who are willing to take your case to trial if necessary. Some attorneys have a reputation for settling cases quickly to avoid the stress and expense of going to court. Unfortunately, insurance companies know this and often offer lower settlement amounts to clients represented by these lawyers.
Having an attorney who will fight for your case in court if needed can greatly impact the compensation you receive.
