While anyone contemplating bringing a claim for injuries sustained might worry about “going to trial”, it is very likely a fool’s errand to wonder about this question at the start of a case. There are far too many variables in every personal injury case to be able to know if a case will go to trial. That being said, the vast majority of civil cases do not go to trial.
For many people the idea of going to trial is a stressful thing to contemplate. A lot of people would find that simply going to see an accident lawyer in Ottawa is stressful enough. They can’t even contemplate the worry and stress involved with going to a courtroom, being called to the stand to testify, and then to be cross-examined.
The idea of having to speak in public, being asked difficult questions, and being grilled by another personal injury lawyer is not most people’s idea of a fun day. Unfortunately, sometimes it is necessary to go to trial for justice to be done. While a defendant should perhaps settle a claim, or an insurer should recognize the extent and severity of an injury, the reality is that parties can, in good faith, have different views and opinions about injuries, damages, recovery, and the impacts on a person’s life. When the lawyers for the opposing sides cannot agree then a trial is sometimes unavoidable.
Extensive preparation for a personal injury case, may mean that a trial won’t be necessary
