National studies show that only about 4% of all personal injury cases filed actually go forward to trial. These studies are dated, and there have not been recent ones.

Surely they, and their lawyer, thought they were going to win, or at least had a chance to. Yet national studies show that plaintiffs lose all the time. The choice is yours and it can be difficult, especially when there is a reasonable offer on the table. An experienced lawyer, rendering solid advice based on past results can make a difference.
