What happens if you lose at an injury trial?
There's no one-size answer—it comes down to an economic balancing analysis, weighing the risks of trial against the settlement offer and what each puts in your pocket.

No—any trial is a gamble with nothing guaranteed, so 'winning' depends on the expectations you set going in, and a loss means revisiting whether that balance was judged correctly.
