Not Every Case Ends Up in a Courtroom
You might be wondering, “If I hire a personal injury lawyer, does that mean I’m headed straight to court?” The answer, from our team at Stewart & Stewart in Indiana, is no—absolutely not. Most personal injury cases are settled outside the courtroom.
The Goal Is Resolution, Not Drama
While we’re always prepared to take a case to trial if needed, our goal is to resolve your case as efficiently and favorably as possible. Often, this means negotiating a fair settlement without ever stepping foot in a courtroom. In fact, about 99% of our clients never appear in court.
You might still be involved in things like depositions or mediations, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to testify at trial. That’s our job—to handle the legal heavy lifting while you focus on healing.
Why Having a Trial-Ready Law Firm Matters
Insurance companies keep score. They know which law firms actually go to trial and which ones don’t. That reputation matters. If the insurer knows your attorney won’t push back, they’ll offer less. But when you hire Stewart & Stewart, you’re choosing a firm with a track record of standing firm and taking cases to court when necessary.
That kind of leverage helps us secure better outcomes—without dragging you into court.
The Bottom Line: We’re Ready if Needed, But You Likely Won’t Be
Hiring us doesn’t mean an automatic lawsuit. It means you have someone in your corner who will fight for you and negotiate smartly—and go to court only when it’s truly necessary.
If you’ve been injured and want strong representation without unnecessary courtroom stress, call Stewart & Stewart. We’ve got your back.
