Personal Injury settlements are very common, occurring in nearly 95 percent of personal injury cases.
When an injured individual pursues legal action against negligent parties, they do so with the expectation that their attorney will pursue a fair and just resolution. This may entail presenting the case to a jury to determine appropriate damages.
However, there are instances where accepting a monetary settlement offer from the defendants is in the plaintiff’s best interest, avoiding the prolonged process of a full trial. It’s common for defendants to extend settlement offers at various stages, including last-minute offers before or during trial proceedings before reaching the jury.
