Most Personal Injury Cases Settle Without Going to Trial
You might be worried about the cost and stress of going to court. What many people don’t realize is that a significant majority of personal injury cases settle outside of court—either before a lawsuit is filed or before trial. These resolutions can happen through private negotiations or a process known as mediation.
Here’s how the process works: if you’ve been harmed by someone else’s negligence, we will gather your medical records, bills, and documentation of out-of-pocket losses such as lost wages and benefits. From there, your Nashua personal injury lawyer will assess your case and attempt to negotiate a settlement with the at-fault party’s insurance adjuster or attorney.
If negotiations are unsuccessful, we file a lawsuit on your behalf and prepare the case as though it’s going to trial. However, if mediation can help resolve the dispute, we’ll use every effort to reach a successful outcome. In fact, mediation is mandatory in all civil cases filed in New Hampshire before a trial can begin.
What Happens During Mediation?
Mediation involves a neutral third party (the mediator) working to help both sides reach an agreement. At Gottesman & Hollis, P.A., we advocate on your behalf during mediation to secure compensation for:
• Permanent injury or disability
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Lost wages and benefits
• Loss of enjoyment of life
If mediation leads to a fair offer, we’ll help you decide whether to accept the settlement. If not, your attorney will guide you through your options and determine whether trial is in your best interest.
