Will my case go to trial or settle before trial?

Whether a case goes to trial or settles before trial depends on a variety of factors, including the nature of the case, the strength of the evidence, the willingness of the parties to negotiate, and the decisions of the attorneys involved.

Many cases do settle before trial through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation or arbitration. Settlement can be a quicker and less costly way to resolve a case, and it allows the parties to have more control over the outcome. Estimates suggest that upwards of 90% to 95% of civil cases in the United States, for example, are resolved through settlement or alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation or arbitration rather than going to trial.

However, some cases do go to trial when the parties cannot reach a settlement agreement, or when the issues at stake are significant and require a court's decision. Whether your case goes to trial or settles will depend on the specific circumstances of your case and the decisions made by you, your attorney, and the opposing party. It's important to consult with an attorney who can provide you with advice and guidance tailored to your situation.
