Not all personal injury cases are taken to court. In most cases, an accident injury case ceases after a settlement negotiation. However, there are cases when both the plaintiff and the defendant cannot agree on a settlement value. In this case, it's necessary to involve the court in your case.
The court will hold a trial where both parties establish the accident accounts from their respective perspectives. After thorough litigation, the court will appoint a trial value for your case. However, you may or may not recover money based on your involvement in the accident.
