Ask Ottawa Accident Lawyer Experts - Is it true that the vast majority of personal injury cases are settled?

Is it true that the vast majority of personal injury cases are settled?

Yes. The great majority of personal injury and accident claims are settled without requiring a trial. In fact, most cases are settled without even having to initiate legal proceedings or even ever stepping foot into Court. Litigation is very expensive, time consuming, stressful and involves significant risk financially. In most cases, with fair compromises, it is in every parties best interest to settle the claim out of Court.

When your case is settled, it will include compensation for all of your damages such as pain and suffering, income loss, out of pocket expenses, medical expenses etc... Settlements of personal injury claims, like most settlements, are final and legally binding agreements. They are final in that once a release is signed, an injured person can never claim compensation again in relation to the accident and injuries suffered as a result thereof.
