In the world of personal injury law, flashy marketing campaigns often highlight jaw-dropping jury verdicts. Billboards, TV commercials, and online ads tout astronomical sums awarded by juries. But here’s the reality: very few cases actually go to trial. The majority of personal injury claims are resolved through pre-suit negotiations, and choosing the right attorney can make all the difference. Let’s dive into the truth behind the hype and why prompt action, communication, and early case management matter.
While courtroom dramas make for riveting TV, the truth is that jury trials are the exception, not the rule. Most personal injury cases never see the inside of a courtroom. Instead, they are settled through negotiations between the parties. If you’ve been injured by the negligence of others and liability and damages are clear, an insurance company is not likely to take on an exorbitantly expensive battle in litigation or trial that they know they’re going to lose.
Most often, a case that requires trial has a major issue in relation to damages and/or liability – a case that can go either way. In these cases, a skilled trial attorney will always be essential. However, straight forward cases rarely require the time and expense of litigation or trial. For example, if you suffered a permanent injury in a rear end accident, and the defendant has only $100,000 in insurance coverage, a skilled personal injury attorney should be able to obtain that $100,000 without incurring the time and tribulations of litigation or incurring the costs of trial, which takes substantial sums of money out of your pocket.
