Most cases settle before trial, but a meaningful percentage do go all the way. Here's how to think about trial risk.
Roughly 95% of personal injury cases settle before trial. The 5% that go to trial often involve serious damages, disputed liability, or unreasonable settlement offers from the defense.
Trials take time — often 6 to 18 months from trial setting to actual trial date. Then verdict appeals can extend the timeline further.
Pre-settlement funding extends to trial-track cases. Funding lets the case go the distance instead of forcing a quick settlement.
Trial outcomes are unpredictable, but cases that go to trial often result in larger awards than the settlement offers that preceded them — especially in plaintiff-friendly venues.
Talk to your attorney honestly about whether trial is the right path for your case. Trial isn't always the right answer, but financial pressure shouldn't be the deciding factor.
