Most bicycle accident injury cases settle before trial. However, going to trial is always a possibility. If any of the following situations apply to your case, there is a chance that you may have to go to trial:
The defendant’s insurance company doesn’t want to set a precedent for settling your type of bicycle accident lawsuit
The defendant’s insurance company believes it will win the case, so it offers you a very low settlement or nothing at all
The defendant’s insurance company believes that the amount demanded by you and your bicycle accident lawyer is too high to settle without fighting the claim
