A seasoned Littleton bicycle accident lawyer might be able to settle a case before going to trial. In fact, this is a common resolution for many cases. A settlement can benefit plaintiffs and defendants as it is usually a faster way to end a lawsuit and can also save money in trial and legal expenses. Settling can also be preferable for the plaintiff as it avoids the need for a possible emotional trial and allows them to focus on healing. Settlement negotiations can happen at any time before the trial begins and can take place multiple times before an agreement is signed.
