Personal injury lawyers usually work on a contingency basis. With this type of arrangement, you don’t pay a retainer fee upfront. Instead, you pay the lawyer a percentage of the settlement awarded to you if your case is successful. If your lawyer doesn't recover compensation on your behalf, you won't pay any lawyer fees.
Do personal injury cases go to trial? If you are unable to reach a settlement agreement with the at fault party, your personal injury case may go to trial. Personal injury cases usually involve either a formal lawsuit or an informal settlement. In the former, the plaintiff files a lawsuit against the other party for compensation.
If you are unsure about when to hire a personal injury lawyer, hire one as soon as possible after you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing. A personal injury lawyer can assist you in seeking compensation for your injuries and can also help protect your best interests against insurance companies who may try to avoid paying fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
If you were injured in a trucking accident in Chicago, Berwyn, Oak Lawn, Cicero, or a nearby community, call the injury attorneys at Lloyd Miller Law for a free consultation.

Personal Injury: Will I Have to Go to Trial?

Posted By:

Almost all personal injury cases are settled out of court and before trial begins, some are settled after the start of a trial but before its conclusion. It is always better and faster to avoid a  trial but not always the best course to recovering the most in damages for a client.

That’s where our extensive 25 year plus experience as Chicago’s personal injury attorneys becomes very important in assessing whether the settlement you have been offered is fair of if you are likely to receive a better settlement if your case is tried.
