First, drivers should note that the vast majority of car accident injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations between someone who has been injured and the car insurance company. Neither party wants the case to go to trial because this only adds to the legal expenses for both parties in addition to the potential of having the case dragged into the public eye.
Because there is a chance for car accident cases to be settled before trial, it might even be possible to receive a car accident settlement before a lawsuit is even filed. Before this process gets started, drivers need to know how this process tends to play out.
