Whether your case settles depends on many factors. Most importantly, both the defendant and plaintiff must agree on a settlement amount and its terms. There are many reasons why parties might want to settle. Often, trials are uncertain, while a settlement guarantees a satisfactory result for all. Parties might also wish to settle a case to avoid an unreasonably low or high payout. However, your settlement must be fair, especially if your injury has had a life-changing impact. Our McAllen personal injury lawyers can advise whether you should settle or pursue litigation to receive a more substantial payout.
