Ideally, when searching for legal representation, you want a personal injury lawyer on your side who does not simply settle all of their personal injury matters. Rather, you want a lawyer who regularly litigates personal injury cases and takes them to civil jury trials, binding arbitrations, mediations, and other litigation proceedings. Moreover, insurance companies and their adjusters are likely to have more respect for attorneys who regularly litigate their cases and may offer them more significant monetary damages to settle their cases.
