When accident victims present their claims for fair compensation to defendants and their insurers, these victims are usually pressured to accept a settlement. Our Pearland personal injury attorneys caution that the offered settlements very often represent but a small fraction of the true worth of their claims. Defendants and their insurers want to avoid the expenses of a lengthy trial in civil court and the possibility that jurors might sympathize with the injured accident victims and award them a large amount of compensation.
Accident victims, already under financial pressure from medical expenses and other bills that might have fallen behind while they were out of work with their injuries, often feel they can’t afford to turn down the quick settlement and risk a trial. So numbers from the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics show that only 3% of civil claims ever go to trial.
And there are law firms out there that never intend to take your case to trial. It’s more profitable for them too if you just take a quick settlement. We call these firms “settlement mills.” We want you to know that the U.S. Constitution guarantees your right to be heard in court when you have a claim.
