Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement without ever going to court. However, some cases do require litigation if a fair resolution cannot be reached.
For most cases in Pensacola and/or Northwest Florida, claims are resolved after:
- Medical treatment is complete or well understood
- Evidence has been gathered
- Negotiations with the insurance company occur
If an insurer refuses to accept responsibility or undervalues the claim, filing a lawsuit may be necessary to protect your rights.
The U.S. Courts system explains that settlement is common in civil cases, but litigation remains an important tool when disputes cannot be resolved voluntarily.
