Even though the overwhelming majority of personal injury claims are settled out of court many still wonder if their case will be the one. Trials become necessary when the defendant’s insurance company refuses to pay reasonable compensation for your injuries. When that happens you have the option of filing suit and demanding your day in court and in situations like this a trial may be your last resort. This is where trial experience matters. As a plaintiff you have the option to file a lawsuit against someone you’ve accused of negligence as the result of an injury through no fault of your own.
Plaintiffs are understandably nervous about speaking in front of a judge and are worried about making a mistake that could damage their case. Insurance companies share many of the same anxieties, often for very different reasons. For the insurance company a claim is all about money. By offering a little money soon after the injury they can work to get cases settled for pennies on the dollar. The insurance companies goal is getting an injured party to accept a lowball offer as soon after the injury as possible and well before the true level of damage is known. They know that getting a plaintiff to accept as little money as possible in exchange for a complete release of all future claims they save a lot of money on investigators, adjustors and in-house lawyers. When they fail to settle and a case goes to court, the potential exists that they will have to pay far more when their case is lost.
Your case may go to trial when the insurance company refuses to properly compensate you and that often happens when the insurance company knows the reputation of your lawyer for fast settlements or when the facts of your case and your injuries don’t support settlement. We plan for the potential of litigation from the moment we meet you. When we initially meet we start with going to trial in mind and we work to learn the entire story of your injuries, the impact on your life and the life of your loved ones. When we clearly understand these facts we have the chance of helping you obtain the health care you actually need. Experience has shown us the more we prepare to go to trial the more likely your case will settle. This is because when the insurance company and their lawyers see that we are prepared they take your case more seriously. By preparing for trial from the start, should we end up in trial we are much more likely to prevail. That’s why you want to hire the best!
