Statistics show that approximately 90-95% of personal injury cases reach favorable settlements or verdicts for plaintiffs when represented by experienced attorneys. This high success rate reflects that attorneys typically accept cases with clear liability and documented damages. Insurance companies prefer settling meritorious claims rather than risking higher jury verdicts and litigation costs. Cases that proceed to trial see plaintiffs winning roughly 50-60% of the time, though this varies significantly by case type and jurisdiction. Medical malpractice cases have lower success rates around 20-30% due to complex medical testimony and jury sympathy for healthcare providers. The key factor in these statistics is proper case selection, as experienced lawyers decline cases lacking strong evidence or clear liability. Success rates increase dramatically when plaintiffs follow medical treatment plans and maintain consistent documentation throughout their cases.
