While it\u2019s impossible to predict how a case will be resolved until it actually concludes, it\u2019s instructive to keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of car accident cases settle out of court. That said, there is always the chance that your case is going to trial. Some of the factors that can make it more likely that your case will go to trial include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"text-left\">The cause of the accident is not clear<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"text-left\">You were partially at fault for your accident<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"text-left\">There are significant noneconomic damages in dispute<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"text-left\">There may be more than one liable party<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"text-left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Need_an_Attorney_Even_if_Your_Case_Is_Going_to_Settle\"><\/span>You Need an Attorney Even if Your Case Is Going to Settle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66272f4c17c8e\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66272f4c17c8e\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/bennerlawfirm.com\/is-your-car-accident-claim-going-to-settle\/#You_Need_an_Attorney_Even_if_Your_Case_Is_Going_to_Settle\" title=\"You Need an Attorney Even if Your Case Is Going to Settle\">You Need an Attorney Even if Your Case Is Going to Settle<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/bennerlawfirm.com\/is-your-car-accident-claim-going-to-settle\/#Call_Benner_Law_to_Schedule_a_Free_Case_Evaluation_with_A_San_Diego_Personal_Injury_Attorney\" title=\"Call Benner Law to Schedule a Free Case Evaluation with A San Diego Personal Injury Attorney\">Call Benner Law to Schedule a Free Case Evaluation with A San Diego Personal Injury Attorney<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"text-left\">Even if the insurance company has made it clear that they want to settle your case, you should retain a lawyer to represent you. Insurance companies are under no obligation to settle your case for a fair amount and will do everything they can to settle for as little as possible. They may start with a lowball offer, wait until your bills are piling up before making an offer, or even misrepresent your rights to you just to avoid paying you what your claim is worth. As a result, if you want to get the compensation you are owed under the law after a car accident, you need to retain an experienced attorney as soon as you can.c<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Benner_Law_to_Schedule_a_Free_Case_Evaluation_with_A_San_Diego_Personal_Injury_Attorney\"><\/span>Call Benner Law to Schedule a Free Case Evaluation with A San Diego Personal Injury Attorney<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-left\">If you have been hurt in a car accident, it\u2019s important that you speak to an experienced lawyer as soon as you can.
