FAQs
Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?
Some people hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit because they fear their case will go to trial. However, about 95% of cases settle out of court. Many personal injury cases settle because both parties want to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with a trial.Hiring an attorney who regularly takes cases to trial can result in higher settlement, even if your case settles without a trial.
Whether or not a personal injury case goes to trial depends on several factors, including the case’s complexity, the amount of evidence available, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement. Even though settlements result in faster resolutions, a case will go to trial if the parties can’t agree on the compensation amount or the defendant doesn’t acknowledge liability.

What is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

A skilled Charles County personal injury attorney knows how to calculate the true cost of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and any future medical care necessary.
Another critical factor in determining the value of a personal injury case is the degree of pain and suffering the victim experiences. This is often referred to as non-economic damages and includes compensation for physical discomfort and emotional distress. The calculation for pain and suffering is subjective. It varies widely, depending mainly on the severity of the injury and its long-term effects on the individual’s daily life and mental health. Other key factors include:
- The Amount of Insurance Available
- The Location Where the Accident Occurred
- Prior Health Conditions
- The Location Where the Defendant Lives.
Each personal injury case involves distinct circumstances — ranging from the specifics of the accident, the severity and impact of injuries on the victim’s life, to the legal complexities surrounding the case.
