Do Car Accident Claims Go to Court?

The aftermath of a car accident can be scary. Between dealing with your injuries, medical bills, and other challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Recovering money in a car accident claim can help, but often, these civil plaintiffs have some misconceptions about the process. For example, you might be wondering if all car accidents claims go to court.

Read on to find out why this is usually not the case and how a Dallas car accident lawyer can help.

Why Most Car Accident Claims Don’t Go to Court

Litigation is costly and time-consuming for the insurance company representing the liable party in a car accident claim.

Every minute spent fighting legal battles in court is a minute wasted—according to the insurance company. Because of this, it’s often possible to settle your claim out of court through direct negotiation with the car insurance company. For most claimants, this is preferable when compared to the emotional challenges of a lengthy court battle.

Only in the cases where the insurance company refuses to acknowledge and also properly compensate the victim does filing a formal lawsuit and going to court become a requirement.

Whether you’re negotiating with the insurance company or going through the formal lawsuit process consulting an experienced attorney can be vital to a timely favorable outcome.
