Will my car wreck case end up in court or can I just settle it?

A:

There is no way to tell ahead of time what will happen with your case.  However, statistically it is most likely that your case will be settled.  About ninety percent of all personal injury cases are settled out of court.  Really this is the best solution for all parties, as long as everyone can agree on a fair settlement.  This means you don’t have to go to court and testify, and you don’t have to take a great deal of time out of your life just to get the compensation you need and deserve.

A good auto accident attorney will always prepare your car crash case as if he or she planned to take it to court.  This kind of thorough preparation and investigation is what makes for a solid case, and when you have a solid case the insurance company is more likely to agree to settle for a reasonable amount.  Remember, it is also in the best interest of the insurance company to get you what you deserve for your case – they don’t want to spend all that money and time going to court, either.
