One of the most common questions we get from clients is whether they’ll have to go to court if they hire a personal injury attorney. The good news is that, in most cases, the answer is no. Most personal injury claims are resolved through settlements, without ever stepping foot in a courtroom. Your attorney’s goal is to build a strong case and negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company, so you can get the compensation you need without a lengthy legal battle.
When you're represented by an attorney, much of the legal work is handled on your behalf. From gathering evidence to communicating with insurance adjusters and negotiating terms, your lawyer takes care of the details while you focus on your recovery. This means less stress for you and a smoother, more efficient process overall. If a fair settlement can be reached outside of court—which often happens—you won’t need to attend any court hearings.
That said, there are situations where a trial may become necessary. If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement or disputes who is at fault, your attorney may recommend taking the case to court to fight for the full compensation you’re entitled to. Even in those cases, your attorney will guide you every step of the way—preparing you for what to expect and making sure your rights are fully protected.
Ultimately, whether your case settles or goes to trial, our job is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’ll always explain your options clearly and involve you in the decision-making process. You won’t be on your own—we’ll be right there with you, every step of the way.
