Litigation of Cases
Most personal
injury lawsuits are settled out of court. A negotiated settlement may
be reached after trial begins. The plaintiff's attorney needs to prove that
the defendant is liable for damages, and the extent of those damages. If
liability is established, you will be entitled to full compensation.
