Most truck accident cases do not go to trial. They are usually settled out of court. Going to trial is often used as a last resort when the parties cannot reach a settlement agreement. Trials can be lengthy, costly, and unpredictable, so both sides usually prefer to negotiate a settlement.
However, if the insurance company or responsible party is unwilling to offer a fair settlement, your truck accident lawyer may advise that going to trial is the best course of action to seek the compensation you deserve.
