When negotiations with an insurance company stall or fail to result in a fair settlement, filing a lawsuit can be the necessary next step in a personal injury case.

When negotiations with an insurance company stall or fail to result in a fair settlement, filing a lawsuit can be the necessary next step in a personal injury case. This move signals that you are serious about pursuing full compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages. Filing suit doesn’t mean the case will definitely go to trial — many cases still settle afterward — but it does trigger formal discovery, deadlines, and court oversight, which can pressure the other side to be more reasonable. An experienced and knowledgable lawyer will help you evaluate whether it’s time to escalate and guide you through the process from complaint to potential resolution.
