No, not all Personal Injury Cases have to go to Trial in Court. In fact, although lawyers should prepare each case as if it will be tried to a Jury Verdict, the vast majority of Pennsylvania Personal Injury Cases settle before Trial.

At some point, sometimes before a Lawsuit is filed and sometimes after, the insurance company decides to realistically value the case and then it can be resolved without the stress, expense and risk of a Trial.

The benefit of a settlement is certainty and closure for both the injured person and the insurance company. Each side knows that the case will be over for an agreed upon compensation number.

Nevertheless, a small percentage of cases cannot be settled and must be tried. Consequently, it’s crucial to choose a Personal Injury Lawyer with trial experience who will properly prepare your case and be ready, willing and able to try it in Court!
