The vast majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court. However, your case might be among those that go to trial. After all, parties are not always able to reach a consensus regarding a favorable settlement because the injured party may feel that the settlement offer is too low while the at-fault party may feel that the offer is reasonable or even too high.
In that situation, both parties need to be prepared to litigate their personal injury case. Your personal injury claim may eventually proceed to court if you and the other party cannot agree on a settlement offer. Your attorney will have to be prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
