There are many reasons a lot of lawyers won’t try a case, and in medical malpractice/nursing home cases, this includes the enormous resources and risk required to do so. In the end, if your lawyer isn’t willing to take a case to jury trial and verdict, you are not getting real representation. Healthcare liability insurers and defendants like nursing homes, hospitals and doctors know which lawyers will try cases, and they will test your lawyer (especially if he or she hasn’t proven a willingness to go to trial). My approach to handling cases has always been to commit to try the case if necessary.
