In some estimates, 95% of all personal injury cases are settled before trial, which is a good indication of the likelihood that your own claim will require a trial in the Florida court system. Trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that both the victim and the plaintiff both have an incentive to reach a settlement agreement before needing to go through this process. In addition, out of court settlements can help a defendant keep embarrassing or compromising information from being made public, as they would be in a trial. However, there is no guarantee that your case will avoid trial, especially when there are specific disagreements between you and the defendant bout things like types of damages, amount of damages, and fault for the injuries. In this case, among others, it may actually make sense to pursue a trial. Regardless, Abercrombie, P.A. is here to help you get the compensation that you deserve.
