Hi Darren
Thanks for your message! Sorry to hear about your accident. We sincerely hope you're well and recovering.
It's a good question you ask. Very few personal injury cases make it to court. In fact, it's as low as around 5%. Meaning you have a 95% chance of not going to court. The odds are therefore heavily in your favour.
The vast majority of claims are settled outside of court. Some are abandoned due to lack of evidence or may have been successfully defended.
Claims that make it to court are generally the most contentious of cases, where there is one or more disputed issue. It may see expert witnesses called to give evidence, as well as witnesses to the accident. This all costs a lot of money, so defendants are often keen to settle a case to avoid the risk of paying those costs.
We hope that eases your concerns. And know that we're here to help you should you need it. Our friendly advisers are available 24/7 via the live chat, bottom right. If you speak to them, be sure to ask about our No Win No Fee bonus codes.
