Injury Litigation

Injury litigation is a legal process by which you can claim compensation for your injuries and losses. Your injury lawyer will use strong evidence to support your case, which includes eyewitness testimony from witnesses, medical records in the form of statements from the defendant, as well as expert witness opinions.

Your lawyer will start the lawsuit. If the defendant does not respond, the case enters an inquiry stage known as discovery.

The Complaint

Before a lawsuit is filed, the injured person (plaintiff) must conduct a pre-lawsuit investigation. This involves reviewing police accident reports, conducting informal discovery, and identifying potentially liable parties and possible causes of action that may be argued against them.

Once the plaintiff has done this, they are able to make a complaint and summons. The complaint is a formal declaration of the party who is being sued, and details the harm caused by the defendant's actions or lack thereof. It usually includes a request for compensation for medical expenses, lost income, suffering and pain, as well as other damages resulting from their injuries.

The defendant has 30 days to respond, also referred to as an answer. In this response, the defendant has the option to admit or deny any allegations made in the complaint. They may also make a counterclaim or add a third-party defendant the suit.

During the discovery phase the parties will exchange relevant information regarding their positions and evidence. This phase includes depositions (also called interrogatories) and written questions (also known as interrogatories), as well as requests for documents. This typically comprises the most of the timeline for lawsuits. If there are settlement opportunities they will be made during this time. The case will then go to trial if there's no settlement. During this time, your attorney will tell your story to a jury or judge and the defendant will defend themselves.

The Discovery Phase

Discovery is a formal stage that allows you and your legal team to share information with the other party and gather evidence. It could include witness statements or details of the treatment you received from your doctor, and evidence of the losses you've suffered. Your attorney can use several tools to aid you in discovery, including interrogatories as well as requests for documents. Interrogatories are questions that require a written response while requests for documents involve requesting all relevant documentation that is under the control of each party. Requests for admission are written letters to the other party, asking them to admit certain facts. This could save time and money as the attorneys don't have to prove their case during trial. Depositions are live, in-person interviews with witnesses. During these interviews, your attorney can ask them questions about the incident while under oath. Their responses will be recorded and transcribing.

Discovery can be an uncomfortable, lengthy and invasive process, but it is necessary to gather the evidence you require to be successful in your claim for compensation. Your lawyer will be in a position to discuss the details of the discovery process with you during your free consultation. If you try to hide a preexisting injury law firm that worsened due to a preexisting medical condition, this information may be discovered during the process of discovery and your case could be thrown out.

The Negotiation Phase

Reaching a negotiated settlement is the main goal of many lawsuits involving injuries. This process usually involves a back and forth between your lawyer and that of the responsible party's insurer. This may include informal conversations/correspondence (by phone, in meetings, by email) where the parties trade offers and counter-offers. Your lawyer can help you in deciding the amount of settlements you wish to negotiate and help in negotiations.

The amount of damage, which includes medical bills, lost wages, and future losses, is a factor that is always changing. Your injuries could worsen over time. This could increase future losses or diminish the value of current losses. Your attorney will work to ensure that your damages are determined by the current state of your injuries as well as an accurate prognosis for your future recovery.

Insurance companies often attempt to limit their payout by disputing certain elements of your claim. This could delay settlement negotiations however, your lawyer has strategies to help you get through these issues and get the most favorable outcome for your case. Negotiating an agreement may take months or years. Negotiations can last for several months or even years, depending on a variety of factors.

The Trial Phase

While the majority of injuries cases are resolved through settlement negotiations outside of the courtroom, your attorney could decide to take your case to trial if an acceptable resolution cannot be reached. It is a stressful lengthy, costly and expensive process. The jury must also decide if you should be compensated for your injuries and Lawsuits in the event that they do, how much. Your lawyer must thoroughly investigate your case to determine the circumstances of your injuries, the severity of damages, injuries, and the costs.

Your attorney will now call witnesses and experts and present evidence, including photographs documents, documents, and medical reports. This is referred to as the case-in­-chief phase. The defense attorney will call witnesses to testify on behalf of a rebuttal and argue that the plaintiff should not receive damages. The judge or jury considers the arguments and evidence of both parties.

The judge will explain to jurors the legal standards which must be met in order to decide in favor of plaintiff or against defendant. This is called jury instruction. Each side then makes its closing arguments. If the jury is unable to agree on a verdict the judge will declare that the trial an unconstitutional trial. If you are not happy with the result of your trial, there may be an appeal to be made.
