How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident If you've been injured in an accident, filing a claim can help you obtain damages to pay for medical expenses and make up for lost income. Many people are unsure of the litigation process.
In this blog post, we'll discuss five litigation milestones that every personal injury lawsuit must undergo.
Time to File
Each state has a statute of limitations which defines the time frame after an accident when you have to make a claim. If you do not file your claim in this time frame, it is almost always dismissed.
Once a case is filed and the parties begin the process of discovery that includes exchanging documents as well as witness testimony and depositions. This can take a long time depending on the nature of the case.
At this point, an experienced lawyer will submit an agreement demand. Your lawyer will only be able to make this demand after you have achieved the maximum level of medical improvement.
There is also the possibility that you must adhere to additional deadlines if you were injured by an entity of the government or by a doctor who works for the government. These are often called "discovery rules" or equitable tolling and are unique to each specific situation. Your attorney can explain them in greater detail. These cases usually settle quicker than other types of cases.
Statute of limitations
If you'd like to maximize your chances of getting fair compensation, it is essential to file an injury lawsuit before your state's statute of limitations runs out. These deadlines apply to many kinds of personal injury cases including car accidents medical malpractice claims product liability claims and wrongful death claims.
In the majority of states, the statute of limitations "clock" begins to tick on the day you became injured. However, there are exceptions to this rule that could effectively pause the clock in certain circumstances. For instance the discovery rule allows you to file a claim when you discover (or should have discovered with reasonable care) the injury.
The statute of limitations may be reduced or even tolled in certain situations, such as when the plaintiff is younger or mentally disabled. Contact an experienced injury lawyer to determine the statute of limitations applicable to your particular case. If you attempt to start a lawsuit after the statute of limitation has expired the court could dismiss your case. This can have devastating consequences on the victim and their family.
Damages
The person who wins an injury attorney case is entitled to damages. They can include money for medical expenses or lost wages as well as other the costs associated with an accident. Other kinds of damages could compensate the victim for the loss of enjoyment of life or emotional distress caused by an accident.
The jury will decide the amount of damages based on the evidence presented in court. Your attorney will argue that the defendant did not take the proper care that reasonable people would have used in the same circumstance, which led to your injury.
Special damages are usually easy to calculate, including the cost to repair or replace damaged property or the amount of lost wages if an injury stopped you from working, or forced you to take time off or sick. General damages are also referred to as pain and suffering. They are more difficult to determine. Many lawyers and insurance firms employ a multiplier to estimate the amount of general damages, like a factor of 1.5 to 5. Serious injuries typically result in greater general damages than those resulting from smaller or less-permanent injuries.
Mediation
