Whether or not your case ends up going to trial largely depends on the offer from the insurance

company.

The goal is to convince the

opposing side that going to trial would

not be to their benefit.

Both sides will have to look at how the evidence might be perceived by a jury.

And also evaluate how much risk they are willing to take on the outcome.

If you accept a settlement, you

know exactly how much you will be getting.

A jury, however, might not decide in your favor, and you could end up with less, or nothing.

The other element of

risk in a trial is the

risk of publicity.

The publicity could be positive or negative for both the plaintiff and defendant.

A jury trial is never a sure

thing, and can often take

months, and sometimes years.

You must be prepared for justice to be

slower than a settlement would be.
