It is true that the majority of personal injury and car accident claims do not go
to litigation. Instead, they end with a confidential settlement negotiated between
the claimant and the insurance company. Yet there is nothing to promise that a settlement
will be reached. When an insurer does not want to accept any responsibility for a
crash their policyholder caused, the chances of reaching a fair settlement can be slim.
If you want to avoid litigation and reach a settlement, then one of the first steps
you should do is hire a car accident attorney who is experienced and reputable in
the community. They can carefully navigate from the beginning to try to work your
case towards a fair settlement while also preparing for litigation just in case.
