Truck Accident Case Going to Trial

Answer:

We have clients come to me, oftentimes with severe injuries in trucking accident cases, and they ask me, “Is this case going to have to go to trial?” and We tell them, “Well, that really depends on the insurance company.” Sometimes we’re able to put together a special damages letter, which takes a few months usually after the accident happens, and that outlines all of your injuries, your medical bills, your pain and suffering, etc., and that’s sent to the insurance company. We can settle the case at that stage, where the insurance company makes some reasonable offers.

Sometimes the insurance company doesn’t want to make reasonable offers. They want to try to save money, so they’ll lowball you. Then we have to put the case into litigation. That means we file a lawsuit and we start to proceed through the lawsuit process. We have four board-certified civil trial attorneys who handle truck accident cases, and we know how to litigate those cases and maximize the value of them. Most of the time, we’re able to settle a case before it ever goes to trial. Why? Because the insurance company knows we’re a trial firm and knows we’re willing to try the case. If we have a client that’s telling us, “I don’t want to go to trial,” the insurance company will never know that. They’ll just know that our firm is a firm that’s willing to try that case for you, so usually that means we can get you fair value before a trial ever occurs.

In the rare circumstance a trial does occur, again, we have four board-certified civil trial attorneys. We’re experts in handling these sort of cases, so we can try the case for you and try to maximize the value of your case. If you have a Florida trucking accident case and you don’t want to go to trial, please feel free to come to us. Most of the time, we do not have to go to trial to get you fair value.
