How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident, filing an injury lawsuit will help you get compensation to pay for medical expenses and compensate for the loss of income. However, many people are unclear about how the litigation process works.
In this blog post, we will look at five milestones in litigation that each personal injury claim has to be through.
Time to File
Each state has a statute that limits the amount of time you are required to bring a lawsuit following an accident. If you don't file your claim within this period, it is almost always be dismissed.
After a case has been filed the parties begin a process known as discovery. This involves exchanging information like witness statements, documents and depositions. This could take months depending on the nature of the case.
A good lawyer will present a settlement demand. The lawyer can only make this demand once you have attained the highest level of medical improvement.
If you were injured by a government organization or a doctor working for the government, you could be subject to additional time limitations to meet in addition to the standard statute of limitations. These are often referred to by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling" and are specific to each case. Your attorney can explain these in more detail. These cases are typically resolved faster than other cases.
Statute of limitations
It is essential to start a lawsuit for personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state runs out. These deadlines apply to a variety of different kinds of personal injury lawsuits, including car accidents, medical malpractice claims, product liability claims and wrongful death claims.
In the majority of states the statute of limitations "clock" starts ticking on the day you became injured. However there are exceptions to this rule, which can effectively stop the clock in certain cases. The discovery rule, for instance permits you to file your case as soon as you discover (or would have discovered if you had taken reasonable care) the injury.
The statute of limitations can be extended or reduced in some cases like when the plaintiff is young or is mentally disabled. Consult an experienced injury lawyer to determine the statute of limitations applicable to your case. If you attempt to start a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired the court could dismiss your case. This could result in devastating consequences for the victim and their family.
Damages
A person who wins a personal injury lawsuit is entitled to damages. These can include money for the victim's medical costs, lost wages and the costs associated with an accident. Other kinds of damages compensate a person who is suffering from emotional distress or loss of enjoyment due to an accident.
The amount of damages is determined by a jury based on the evidence presented in court. Your lawyer will argue that the defendant failed to behave in a way that a reasonable individual would have done in the same situation. This led to your injury.
Special damages, like the cost of replacing or repairing damaged property or lost wages if an injury prevents you from working or requires you to take vacation or sick leave, are simple to calculate. General damages, also referred to as pain and suffering are harder to quantify. Many lawyers and insurance firms utilize a multiplier in estimating the amount of general damages, for instance, an amount of 1.5 to 5. The most severe injuries are likely to lead to higher general damages awards than smaller or less-permanent injuries.
Mediation
Mediation isn't required in all injury cases. However it can be utilized as a way to settle a dispute and avoid having a jury or judge decide the outcome. You can discuss your concerns at the mediation with a third party neutral who is referred to as mediator.
The mediator will ask you questions to find out what you're expecting and how much money you'd like to spend. The mediator will then speak with both sides alone. Then, you will offer counteroffers and exchange ideas for a resolution.
Both the party responsible for the negligence and the injured victim wants to go to court, so the goal is to settle through mediation. This is a crucial step to avoid a lengthy and injury lawsuit stressful litigation process. Even the most complicated injury cases are settled via mediation.

Trial
Your attorney could decide to go to trial in the event that your case isn't settled outside of court. This will depend on your individual circumstances, your evidence and the settlement offer made by the insurer of the defendant.
During the trial, your attorney will present a case to peers to jurors. The jury will decide whether the defendant was negligent, and if they were what amount of compensation should be awarded to cover your losses due to injuries, financial loss and other expenses.
During the trial, your lawyer will use evidence to show that the defendant's negligence caused your injuries and you are entitled to financial compensation to cover these expenses and losses. The defense will make use of evidence to argue your accusations, and also to prevent them from having to pay you any money. After both sides have made their closing arguments, the jury will deliberate. The verdict will be announced by a judge or a jury during a bench trial. It will determine whether the defendant was negligent or not, and if so, how much financial damages are you entitled to.
