Statistically speaking, it is unlikely that your case will go to trial. Even if it does go to court, it can still settle all the way up to (and even during) trial. Most cases settle before making it to court in the first place.
However, it can be beneficial to keep the possibility of litigation in court above the defendant’s head, so to speak. One reason for that is that if your case reaches court, our legal experts will have access to the pretrial discovery process. This process could reveal the necessary evidence to prove it. In other words, the threat of court and trial could increase your bargaining power significantly.
