All of our St. Louis personal injury lawyers are trial tested and ready to go the distance for our clients. And while a jury trial is always a possibility, most cases settle before going that far. This happens for several reasons.
- Litigation can take a long time.
- Leaving the decision up to a judge or jury can have unpredictable results.
- Reaching a settlement offers the opportunity to fairly and quickly compensate an injured party without going through a long, drawn out trial.
In addition, mediation is another form of resolution that can take the place of going to trial. This process can be court ordered or voluntary and is facilitated by a neutral third party.
In either situation, if the other party refuses to settle or presents an unreasonable settlement offer in mediation, then our personal injury lawyers in St. Louis, Missouri, will move forward with trial.
In conclusion, the team at Padberg Appelbaum Knepper ranks among the best personal injury lawyers in St. Louis. Our attorneys have tried and settled thousands of personal injury cases and have recovered more than $250,000,000 in settlements and judgments for our clients to date.
