Will my personal injury case go to trial?

Embarking on the path to recovery and justice after an accident is a journey fraught with questions and decisions.

With over 90% of cases finding their resolution outside the court, rest assured that the details of your unique situation will guide us to the best course of action.

Why Most Cases Settle Out of the Courtroom

In our collective experience at Elsner Law Firm, we’ve observed that the path to settlement is often chosen for several compassionate and practical reasons. Settlements emerge as the preferred resolution when:

• Understanding Transcends Dispute: The defendant’s insurance company recognizes the legitimacy of your claim and the likelihood of your success in court.
• Economics of Compassion: When the numbers are tallied, the cost of a settlement may simply be more economical than the steep climb of legal expenses.
• Fairness in Resolution: At times, the offer on the table mirrors what a courtroom victory might bring, paving a smoother path to closure.

The Road Less Traveled: When Cases Move to Trial

Despite the trend toward settlements, the courtroom remains a venue for justice for those instances where a resolution remains elusive. Cases may proceed to trial when:

• Convictions Stand Firm: The defendant, advised by their attorney, may genuinely believe in their stance, prompting their day in court.
• Precedent and Principle: Sometimes, it’s about the bigger picture, and insurers opt to contest cases they see as setting a precedent.
• The Scales of Justice Misaligned: At times, the negotiation table fails to balance, particularly if the compensation demands are seen as too steep.
• A Call for Public Accountability: For some, it’s not just about compensation but ensuring public acknowledgment and accountability for their trauma.
