Overview on Personal Injury Cases
Even though many cases settle before trial, the following is a very basic overview of the many phases of a personal injury case, from start to finish.
Filing a Claim: To begin, we generally notify the other party that we are going to make a claim for personal injury or wrongful death damages. This involves sending a letter of representation to either of the year the insurance company or a risk management company.
Investigation of Claim: Our team will uncover all information we can about your claim, your damages, your injuries, the other parties involved and determine the theory of liability. Our team will also research all legal issues related to your specific case. If the other party is uninsured, we will notify you and let you know what your options are going forward.
Medical Treatment: it is important to make sure that you keep up to date with your medical treatment. This means that you must make and keep your appointments and keep us informed as to your doctor visits and recommendations by your doctors.
Filing a Lawsuit: if your personal injury claim cannot be settled out of court, we will prepare and file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf. The lawsuit is the formal process of suing that I thought party for the damages they cost to you or your loved ones.
Discovery: After your personal injury lawsuit is filed, each side has an opportunity to engage in the discovery process. Discovery is where we send the other side a list of questions to answer and a list of documents, they need to produce to us.
Depositions: Depositions provide parties to the lawsuit with an opportunity to sit down in a room and ask written questions under oath. During this process, you will be accompanied by your attorney. There are many rules that apply to depositions, but the setting is informal compared to being on the stand at trial.
Mediation: once your personal injury case is completed which means that everything has been done, the sides are generally ready for mediation. During the mediation process, we go to an office and a mediator is chosen who is neutral to assist in getting both sides to reach a settlement.
Trial: If your case does not settle during mediation, your case proceeds to trial. Trial is the time when we go to the courthouse and a jury is brought in. Each side presents their cases, the judge gives the jury the law and the jury reach a verdict after deciding liability of the parties and the value of the damages in your case.
