The details of your 18-wheeler claim, along with your choices and objectives, can impact whether your claim is settled out of court or whether it goes to trial. Generally, however, most claims are not resolved via trial but, instead, are settled out of court. That’s because many parties can reach mutually agreeable settlements ahead of trial, which often means more efficient resolutions.
That said, sometimes, it is necessary to go to court and battle it out in a trial. This can be the case whenever there are disputes over fault and/or damages.
Regardless of whether your case does end up in trial, partnering with a lawyer can help you both when it comes to:
Out-of-court negotiations and settlement talks
Settlement offer evaluations and determining whether to take a case to court
Preparing for trial and advocating your rights in court
