What happens if the injury case cannot be settled?

If your injury case cannot be settled, then we promptly file a Complaint for you. Once a lawsuit has been filed, the average time to get before the Court is twelve months. This is because our courts have heavy backlogs. However, we fast-track our cases so that any delay is not ours but the Courts or the other side. In North Carolina, you sue the defendant not the insurance company. In fact, you may not mention the word “insurance” in a trial. A jury hears your injury case and the jury decides who was at fault and how much you are allowed to recover.
