Well, of course personal injury lawyers settle cases. That's what you want them to do. As I try to explain to my clients, the job of the defense counsel is to manage risk. It is for plaintiff's counsel too. All the TV ads about "I fight for you" is TV lawyer bullshit.
Cases only go to trial when for some reason, the two sides do not see the evidence the same way and can't agree on what the case is actually worth. Or someone's client is an idiot.
