Worried about your personal injury case going to trial? You’re not alone. It’s a common concern, and in this installment of our ‘Ask the Lawyer’ series, we’re tackling the question: Does every case go to trial? The short answer is no, most don’t. While many personal injury attorneys are known for their courtroom experience, the majority of cases are resolved through settlements or other forms of alternative dispute resolution before ever reaching a courtroom.
At GVILAW, we treat every case as if it were going to trial. Why? Because that’s how we build the strongest possible case for you, whether it ends in a settlement or a courtroom. Attorneys like Noe Valles and Chad Inderman approach every case with trial-level preparation.

Reputation and Negotiation Power
When you hire a reputable law firm like GVILAW, the insurance companies know we’re serious. Insurance adjusters are aware that we are fully prepared to go to trial if necessary. This preparation is often what prompts them to offer a fair settlement before a trial even takes place.
In many cases, insurance companies will settle before going to court because they understand that we are fully prepared for trial. If they know we are ready to take the case to court, it’s often in their best interest to offer a settlement that avoids the risk of a trial. This proactive approach helps ensure that our clients are not left with lower settlements or inadequate compensation.
Preparing for Trial: Why It Matters
Even though most cases don’t make it to court, preparation is crucial. When we take on a personal injury case, we treat it like it’s going to trial. We gather all the evidence, talk to experts, and make sure every detail is covered. By preparing thoroughly, we position our clients for the best possible outcome, whether that’s a fair settlement or a successful verdict in court.
The GVILAW Promise
We promise to take every case seriously, preparing for trial even if we don’t expect to go there. This commitment to readiness is what sets us apart. It’s not about simply accepting the first offer we get from the insurance company—it’s about getting the best possible compensation for our clients, no matter how long it takes or what it takes.
If you or someone you know is facing a personal injury case, remember that not all cases go to trial, but every case should be prepared as if it will. That’s how we ensure the best outcome for you.
