The most recent national study conducted by the Department of Justice offers some interesting data on trials, generally, and degree of success, specifically. According to the data, only 3% of personal injury cases make it to trial. Plaintiffs win about 60% of the time. Take the time to discuss this with a Baltimore personalinjury lawyer. Every plaintiff, in my experience, thinks they have a case. Not everyone thinks they have a great case. Some do. But everyone thinks they "have a case". So, all those folks with cases, average to great, win a little more than ½ the time. A personal injury plaintiff in a tort case is most likely win in an animal attack case [75% win]. About 2 out of 3 automobile accident victims win. Most medical malpractice plaintiffs do not win [23%]. Most products liability plaintiffs in non-asbestos cases do not win [19%]. Outcome at trial is always risky. A seasoned Baltimore personal injury lawyer can improve your chances.
