If I bring a wrongful death lawsuit, will I have to go to court?

Filing a wrongful death case and going to court can be intimidating. However, most wrongful death claims settle before trial. Among the reasons that many wrongful death cases are settled out of court is that trials are costly and can be lengthy and risky. However, you should work with a lawyer who is prepared to go to trial if that is the best option for pursuing maximum compensation in your situation.
