A lot of times, people ask me, “Shane, I really do not want to go to trial,” or they ask why these cases are so different from a typical car accident.
The reason is that many of these cases require litigation. Litigation simply means we first try to resolve the case before filing anything in court, but in many situations that is not possible. When that happens, we have to file a lawsuit, which starts the formal legal process.
That does not mean the case is automatically going to trial. Once the case gets past motions like summary judgment, most of these cases go to mediation. At that stage, the vast majority of cases resolve without ever putting a jury in the box.
If you have questions about a case or are worried about what litigation really means, you deserve clear answers before making any decisions. In pain? Call Shane at 980-999-9999 and let us walk you through your options.
