Should You Settle Your Personal Injury Claim?
For the great majority of all injury lawsuits, all parties involved will generally prefer to settle outside of court and for the most part, this is what happens. Very little personal injury lawsuits will go all the way to court. There are many reasons why this is true including:
- If a case goes to court the outcome is hard to determine beforehand and can be very unpredictable. The jury will look at your case and determine if you deserve compensation and how much you deserve. You may have a Virginia catastrophic injury case where the true value of your case is high, but the jury decides that you should be paid much less than what you truly need. Depending on the details of your situation, a jury could even deem that you shouldn’t receive any compensation.
- The process from start to finish can be very long, years in some cases. When a case is drawn out and fought over in court, it also gets very pricey for victims. Additionally, it also delays a victim from obtaining the money that they desperately need. A settlement gets victims the money necessary to pay for their damages much sooner than would happen when a case goes to court.
It makes good sense to settle on a fair amount of compensation to avoid court and this is why up to 95% of civil cases will not see their day in front of a judge. There are serious risks for victims when their suit has to go to the courts to be litigated. However, there are never any guarantees for anyone who is fighting to get an even-handed and reasonable settlement.
For this reason, when you are selecting which attorney to work with that will represent your best interests, make sure you have one that is prepared to and experienced with fighting it out in the courts. Should your case be one of the approximately 5% that go to court, you need to be ready for it with the most capable legal counsel in Virginia Beach to ensure that no matter what happens with your case, your attorney will be able to handle it.
