No matter the type of accident, an experienced injury lawyer in Ontario CA is more likely to settle a case than take it to court. This is not for their benefit – it is for the benefit of the client. Keep reading to learn three reasons this is the case and then contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free legal consultation. Note that while we do more often settle cases, we are not afraid to go to trial when it makes sense.
- Juries Are Unpredictable In many cases, an accident case that goes to trial will end up heard by a jury. You cannot predict what a jury will do. This is why you will find that most insurance companies do not want to go to trial either. You could present an iron clad case with much more evidence than was required, yet have a jury find for the defendant. Meanwhile, a person can bring a case with flimsy evidence and the jury could find for the plaintiff. When we negotiate a settlement with an insurance company, we know exactly what we will be getting when you sign that line. We know when you will be getting the money and we do not have to go through months of fighting in court.
- It is More Cost Effective to Settle the Case In almost all cases, it is going to cost less to everyone involved to settle the case. Your injury lawyer in Ontario CA has been in this business long enough to know what a case is worth and what an insurance company is likely to pay. Taking the case to trial if the insurance company is offer a fair deal is not to the benefit of their client. Of course, the reason that people might choose to go to court is because they may be awarded more than the insurance company is offering. However, if the court fees are tens of thousands of dollars, you may still end up with less in your bank account than if you had taken a deal for less than you get from a jury.
- Your Injury Lawyer in Ontario CA Knows You Want to Get on with Your Life One of the biggest advantages to settling is the fact that you can move on with your life. Do you want to wait months or even years to settle the case in court? Do you want to have to talk about it over and over again and put others through the process? Do you need the funds now to pay for your recovery?
While we will fight for your rights in court if necessary, many of our clients want a quick, tidy resolution. When you contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for your free legal consultation, we can go over the options and discuss what is likely best for your unique case.
