Shortly after a personal injury case is filed, the court sets a scheduling conference where the court establishes dates by which discovery, motions, and other events must occur. Typically, although the case is in the very early stages of discovery, an Anne Arundel County judge handling a personal injury scheduling conference will briefly discuss settlement with the parties.

Generally, this settlement conference is handled by an experienced personal injury lawyer or retired judge familiar with Anne Arundel County car accident cases and their value. This lawyer serves as a mediator between the two parties in the personal injury cases. These settlement conferences are often very helpful in getting the parties in an auto accident case to reach a settlement.
     If the case does not settle at the settlement conference, the parties must attend a pretrial conference. In personal injury cases, the judges in Anne Arundel County go to great lengths to help the parties settle their case. Unlike most other counties where the pretrial conference is just a meeting between counsel where a trial date is given, the Anne Arundel county judges spend a great deal of time trying to settle personal injury cases. Most of our Annapolis auto accident lawyers' cases settle at this point - but certainly not all of them. If the car accident case does not settle at that point, the parties are given a date for trial, typically within 90 days.
