Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?
After a serious injury or the loss of a loved one, most people just want to recover the compensation they need as quickly as possible so they can move on with life. Fortunately, the majority of personal injury and wrongful death cases never make it to trial. Our goal at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers is to help you collect a fair settlement without going to trial; however, depending on the facts of your case, filing a lawsuit and going to court may be the best decision. Here are a few factors that might influence whether your case goes to trial:
- Extent of Your Injuries: If you suffered a permanent disability that will require ongoing treatment, the opposing party might not be willing to offer a settlement that includes all future and non-economic damages. In this situation, it may be best to take the case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve. If you accept a low settlement, you might wind up in overwhelming debt due to future medical bills and loss of earning capacity.
- Cause of Your Injuries: If the defendant acted with malice, oppression, or fraud, you may be able to recover punitive damages if you take the case to trial.
- Opposing Party’s Willingness to Cooperate: Sometimes insurance companies or defendants are simply unwilling to offer a fair settlement despite having clear evidence of liability and damages. The Lake Elsinore personal injury attorneys at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers are more than willing to take your case to trial to enforce your rights.
- Liability Disputes: There are many reasons why a liability dispute might arise. If more than one party is liable for your damages or if the opposing party contends that you were partially at fault, it may be necessary to take your case to trial.
- Strength of Evidence: If you do not have strong evidence to prove liability and damages, the opposing party might refuse to offer a fair settlement. If our attorneys believe that there is a good chance that you would prevail at trial, we may recommend taking your case to court.
