The vast majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court. This means that the responsible party's insurance company or the defendant may offer a settlement to resolve the claim without going to trial. A settlement can be beneficial for both sides, as it saves time, money, and the uncertainty of a trial.
However, if the settlement offer is too low or the parties can't reach an agreement, your case may go to court. A judge or jury will then determine the outcome. It's important to have an experienced personal injury attorney who can assess your case and guide you through the negotiation process. If necessary, your attorney will be prepared to take your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Ultimately, whether your case is settled or goes to court depends on the specific circumstances, the strength of the evidence, and the willingness of the opposing party to negotiate a fair settlement.
