What are the cons of settling a personal injury case “out of court”?

The two major cons of settling a personal injury case “out of court” are:

·         The compensation is less: The monetary award offered in a settlement may be much lesser than in a court trial. However, the value of the settlement must be weighed against the risk of going to court as well as the increased costs.
·         It does not cover punitive damages: Oftentimes, out of court settlements do not cover punitive damages, such as emotional suffering.
