Negotiations and trial
Once the lawsuit is filed, the process can proceed in two ways: negotiations or trial. In most cases, insurance companies will prefer to reach a settlement before going to trial. Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company to obtain fair compensation for you. If no settlement is reached, the case will go to trial.
