Settling A Personal Injury Lawsuit Before Trial
“Settling” doesn’t mean you have to feel like you settled for something. In fact, the opposite should be true. A favorable settlement should feel like a victory. It’s as simple as that.
Of all the lawsuits filed in Los Angeles and beyond, about 95 percent of cases settle before trial.
Why do cases settle?
Cases settle for all types of reasons, like when the defendant offers its entire insurance policy and we can verify defendant doesn’t have any other assets. At the end of the day, though, you want your case to settle because your skilled personal injury lawyer worked hard and diligently to prove to the defendant and the insurance companies that they will risk worse going to trial.
The pros of settling your case include:
- It provides certainty
- Trials can be lengthy, expensive, and the results are not guaranteed
- It avoids the chance of a lengthy appeals process post-trial if a defendant decides to appeal
- Payment after settlement is often faster than after a trial
What does it take to get a favorable settlement?
A favorable settlement takes the teamwork of our investigators, staff, award-winning trial attorneys, and you, the client. It’s not much different than the Los Angeles Dodgers, which has great openers, like Clayton Kershaw, great hitters like, Yasiel Puig, and great closers like, Kenley Jansen. You want the other side to feel that in the end, we will prevail.
