Clients often ask, “If I make an accident claim do I need to appear in court?” The answer depends on your objectives. Most often auto accident case are resolved through negotiated settlement with the opposing insurance company. Our advice to our clients is to always be prepared for the possibility of going to trial but don’t bet on it. Further, this is your case and your claim. That means there is no possibility of a plaintiff lawsuit being filed on your behalf and no chance of you attending court if you are against it. If your desire is to settle out of court through arbitration please let us know as we will follow your instructions.
We prepare every case as if it is going to trial but due to that same extensive preparedness by our firm the insurance companies often find it in their best interest to settle out of court after we make a formal demand.
We understand that being in an car accident is stressful and we want to relieve all your stress related to the legalities so you can focus on your health care. If you would like to discuss your specific car accident, the available claims, likely defenses and the possibility of going court as it applies to your facts please contact the firm.
