You may recover economic damages such as medical bills and lost earnings, plus non‑economic damages for pain and suffering, depending on the case and proof.
Settlements are typically the result of negotiations with insurers, guided by the facts, damages, and liability. Your attorney helps evaluate offers and propose favorable terms.
If another party is at fault, you may pursue a claim against their insurer or, if necessary, against multiple liable parties.

Most personal injury cases can proceed without a court appearance, but some cases require a hearing or trial depending on the issues and timelines.
