I handle personal injury cases and a lot of my practice is cases or injuries that involve automobile accidents where one driver is at fault and they hit or collide with another vehicle and that person is injured.

The way that I handle that case is the person will get medical treatment. When they’re done treating I’ll then try to settle the case with the insurance company. If not I’ll file a lawsuit and we’ll proceed with discovery and eventually we’ll get a trial date. And all during that time period the case could settle at any time, could settle before the lawsuit, sometimes insurance companies won’t settle until after we file a lawsuit and sometimes cases don’t settle until the day of trial or sometimes we get a verdict.
