A recent motor vehicle accident case was successfully settled in Queens Supreme Court for $65,000 after jury selection and before opening arguments . While the case did not ultimately go to trial, its outcome highlights a critical truth in personal injury law: thorough preparation drives meaningful results . As a personal injury attorney, every case should be handled as if it will be presented before a jury. This level of preparation strengthens negotiating power, demonstrates credibility, and signals to opposing parties that the case is backed by facts, evidence, and a clear legal strategy. When insurers and defense counsel recognize that a case is trial-ready, they are far more likely to offer fair settlements rather than risk litigation. Motor vehicle accidents can have lasting physical, emotional, and financial consequences for victims. Beyond medical bills and lost wages, injured individuals often face long-term recovery challenges that deserve to be taken seriously. Strong legal advocacy ensures that injured victims are not overlooked or undervalued during the settlement process. Under New York personal injury law, victims have the right to pursue compensation when another party’s negligence causes harm. Achieving justice requires more than filing a claim—it requires preparation, attention to detail, and a commitment to protecting the client’s best interests every step of the way. This settlement serves as a reminder that justice is best achieved when advocacy is proactive, strategic, and uncompromising . Every client deserves to be heard, respected, and fairly compensated—and preparation remains the foundation of successful outcomes.
