Will I have to go to court for a personal injury claim?

Generally, most personal injury cases settle without going all the way to trial. If, however, no proposals in settlement are forthcoming or the offers are unreasonable, then your case may have to be heard in front of a judge. The judge will determine whether you are entitled to personal injury compensation and if so what level of compensation is appropriate. You will be accompanied by the solicitor having conduct of your case or a barrister instructed on your behalf.
