Will My Case Settle or Will It Go To Trial?

Once the discovery process is done, your case will either settle or go to trial. A settlement can only occur with your approval. After the completion of discovery, one of our attorneys will make a demand from the defendant to settle this matter. Thereafter, parties will enter into a negotiation. Often, these negotiations are conducted before a Judge or a mediator. The Judge/mediator will then try to determine an amount that is acceptable to both parties in pursuit of a settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, everyone will prepare for trial. If your case goes to trial, a Judge or jury will determine whether the defendant is responsible for financially compensating you for your injuries or not and what amount the defendant is responsible for.
