According to the U.S. Department of Justice, about 5% of personal injury claims settle through a trial verdict. Most claims settle before trial once your medical treatment is over. In other cases, the injured party voluntarily dismisses the case. Our Arizona law firm is prepared to do whatever it takes to secure fair compensation.
In most cases, insurance companies and injured parties settle out of court since going to court can increase legal costs for you and the insurance company. Going to court does not always increase your chances of winning.
When you have clear evidence in your favor and the insurance company will not negotiate, going to court can help you secure the compensation you deserve. However, if you cannot reach a reasonable agreement with the insurance company through mediation due to a lack of evidence, going to court may become an expensively bad idea.
Work with a lawyer to get a better idea of whether going to court will help you achieve your goals or whether settling out of court will offer you better odds of getting the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
