Every accident victim hopes that their claim can resolve as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, quickly does not always equate to a fair outcome regarding the insurance claims process. It is common for insurers to make a quick but low settlement offer when they know they may be on the hook for significantly more compensation as the claim and case go on. A car accident attorney will discuss the worth of your case and what strategy they recommend when dealing with the insurers. Although a lawyer will try to settle your case outside of court involvement, there are times when that may not be possible or may not be in your best interest. Going to trial is always a possibility in a car accident claim and case. Your car accident attorney will first try to negotiate with the insurer and parties involved to get you the maximum compensation possible. However, suppose negotiations fall through or are not successful in achieving the desired compensation for your needs or in comparison to your losses. In that case, a trial may become the recommended next step by your attorney. While your attorney will not know initially whether or not a trial may be necessary in your case, they can give you some insight into what could lead to a possible trial during the processing of your claim.
