What are the Chances of Winning a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer here, as each case is often decided based upon a myriad of factors. Yet, there are a few facets to consider when questioning the probability of a specific personal injury lawsuit outcome.

The most critical element of any successful personal injury lawsuit is the proper assignment of liability. In other words, did the defendant cause the injury? If there isn’t a clear answer to that question, then the chances of a successful suit can dim considerably.

An attorney must also be ready to assess any updates in state and federal laws. Even a seemingly innocuous change can have a significant impact on the probability of a successful suit—hence, staying abreast of recent legislation is critical.
