Will My Florida Truck Accident Case Go to Trial?

Trucks

Being involved in a truck accident can be devastating, and the aftermath stressful. If you have suffered injuries in a Florida truck accident, you may be dealing with medical expenses, lost wages, repair costs, pain and suffering, and more. Fortunately, Florida law allows you to file a truck accident claim and recover compensation if the truck driver, trucking company, or another party is to blame for your accident and injuries.

If you’ve suffered injuries in a Florida truck accident and another party is to blame for your accident and injuries, one question you may be asking yourself is, “Will my case go to trial?” So, will your Florida truck accident case go to trial? Whether your truck accident case goes to trial or not depends on the specifics of your case. However, most Florida truck accident cases do not go to trial. The vast majority of Florida truck accident cases are settled outside of court. One of the main reasons most truck accident cases are settled out of court is that going to trial can be expensive. Even a simple court case can be quite costly. Another reason most Florida truck accident cases are resolved through the settlement process is that there is no room for negotiation when it comes to trials. With a trial, the jury’s decision is final.

Factors That Influence Whether or Not a Truck Accident Case Goes to Trial

As mentioned already, whether or not your Florida truck accident case will go to trial depends on the specifics of your case. Several factors can influence whether your case is resolved through the settlement process or goes to trial. The following are three of the most crucial factors that may influence whether your Florida truck accident is settled outside of court or goes to trial;

Liability

Liability or fault is key in a truck accident case. You must prove liability to recover compensation in a truck accident case. If a disagreement arises about liability, the chances of your case going to court increase.

Complex Issues

If your case involves complex issues, it may be necessary to go to trial. For example, if multiple parties are to blame for your accident, your case may go to trial. Your case may also go to court if several federal and state statutes come into play that complicate your case.

Severity of Your Injuries

If you suffered very serious injuries, meaning you have substantial medical expenses, it means the defendant or defendants must pay a substantial settlement amount. Because insurance companies care more about profits, they may devalue your claim and refuse to pay the full value of your claim. In such a case, you may need to go to trial.
