Experience Provides Stronger Negotiation Leverage
February 2025
Hiring a personal injury lawyer with experience can significantly impact the outcome of your case. This experience will assist your case even if the case never reaches the courtroom. A lawyer with trial experience commands respect from the insurance companies which often leads to higher settlement offers. A lawyer with trial experience is not stuck with the offer from the insurance company and is able when necessary to move the case towards a jury trial. The lawyer's jury trial experience is invaluable at understanding the complex process that a jury trial entails. When an insurer knows that a lawyer is capable of taking a case to trial and getting substantial verdicts, they are more likely to settle for substantial amounts without the need to go inside the courtroom.
