Will I have to go to court?

You will not have to go to court unless your case cannot be settled and must be tried. The vast majority of claims are settled before trial; however, because of the many factors involved, it is impossible to predict whether your particular case will be settled or decided by a jury. It is important that both you and your attorney be willing to present your case to the court if you are not being adequately compensated. The decision to go to trial is made after weighing all the factors involved in determining the likelihood of success if your case if decided by a judge or jury, and the amount of compensation that you might receive if successful.
