Injury Litigation

Legally, it is the process that allows you to recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Your injury attorney will build solid evidence in your case, including eyewitness testimony, injury attorney medical documents in the form of defendant statements, expert witness opinions.

Your lawyer will start the lawsuit. When the defendant has responded and the case is moved to an inquiry stage known as discovery.

The Complaint

Before the lawsuit can be filed, an injured person (plaintiff) must conduct pre-lawsuit discovery. This includes reviewing police accident reports and conducting informal discovery and identifying potentially liable parties and possible causes of action that can be asserted against them.

Once the plaintiff has done this, they are able to make a complaint and summons. The complaint outlines the harm caused by the defendant's or his inaction. It usually includes a request for compensation for medical bills and lost income, as well as pain and suffering, and other damages that result from their injuries.

The defendant will then have 30 days to file a reply called an answer, in which they admit or deny the allegations in the complaint. They may also add third party defendants or file a counterclaim.

During the discovery stage the parties will exchange pertinent information about their positions and the evidence. This includes depositions (also known as interrogatories) and written questions (also called interrogatories) as well as requests for documents. This phase typically accounts for the major portion of the litigation timeline. If there are settlement options they will be made during this time. In the event that there is no settlement the case will go to trial. During this period the attorney will present your side of the tale before a judge or jury and the defendant will defend themselves.

The Discovery Phase

Discovery is a formal phase that permits you and your legal team to exchange information with the other party and collect evidence. This could include witness testimony or details of your medical treatment, as well as evidence of losses you've suffered. Your lawyer may also employ different tools in discovery to help your case, including interrogatories, requests for documents and depositions. Requests for documents are the requests to provide all relevant documentation which is within each party's control. Interrogatories require written responses. Requests for admission are written letters to the other party requesting for their admission to certain facts. This can cut down on time and money since the attorneys don't have to prove the facts during trial. Depositions are live recordings of witnesses, where the attorney can question them about the incident under oath. They will get their answers recorded, and then transcribed by a court reporter.

While discovery may appear to be an lengthy, intrusive and uncomfortable process but it is an essential step to gather the evidence necessary to win your injury case. During your free consultation the attorney will be able to discuss the details of the discovery process. For instance, if you attempt to conceal a preexisting condition that has caused your injury to worsen or aggravated, the information could be discovered in the process of discovery and dismissed from your case.

The Negotiation Phase

Reaching a negotiated settlement is the primary goal in most injury cases. The process typically involves a exchange of 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 assist you in deciding the amount of settlement that you want to demand and then help with negotiations.

The amount of damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and future losses, is a factor that is always changing. Your injuries may worsen over time, which may increase your losses in the future and decrease the value of your current losses. Your attorney will ensure that your damages are determined based on the severity of your injuries and the prognosis of future recovery.

Often insurance companies try to limit the amount they pay for claims by arguing against some elements of your case. This could result in a delay in settlement negotiations. However, your lawyer can provide strategies to help you overcome these hurdles and obtain the best possible result for your case. In certain cases the process of negotiating an agreement can take months or even years. Numerous factors influence how long settlement negotiations will last, but knowing the length to expect can make the process less stressful and more effective for you.

The Trial Phase

Most cases involving injuries are resolved outside of court through settlement negotiations. However, if the resolution isn't reached your lawyer might decide to proceed to trial. This can be a difficult costly and time-consuming process. It also requires the jury to decide whether the defendant should be held accountable for your injuries and the amount you are entitled to. Your lawyer must thoroughly investigate your case to understand the circumstances surrounding your injury, as well as the severity of injuries, damages, and costs.

Your attorney will now summon witnesses and experts and present evidence, such as photos, documents, and medical reports. This is the "case-in-chief" phase. The defense attorney will summon witnesses to testify for argument against the plaintiff and argue that the plaintiff should not receive damages. The jury or judge weighs the evidence and arguments of both sides.

The judge will then discuss the legal standards which must be followed for the jury to find in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant. This is known as jury instruction. Each side will then present its closing arguments. If the jury is unable to agree on a final verdict, the judge will declare that the trial a mistrial. In some cases an appeal could be available in the event that you are unhappy with the outcome of your trial.
