The frequency with which vehicular collision claims proceed to trial is relatively low. Most disputes arising from automobile accidents are resolved through settlement negotiations or alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration.
Settling out of court offers numerous advantages, including reduced legal costs, expedited resolution, and greater control over the outcome. Litigating a claim can be expensive and time-consuming, potentially involving extensive discovery, expert testimony, and prolonged court proceedings. Furthermore, the outcome of a trial is uncertain, making settlement a more predictable and often preferable option.
