Injury Litigation

Injury litigation is a legal procedure that allows you to recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Your lawyer for injury will make use of strong evidence to prove your case, such as eyewitness testimony, medical documents as well as the statements of the defendant and expert witness opinions.

Your lawyer will then start the lawsuit. Once the defendant has responded to the lawsuit, the case will move into an investigation of facts, also known as discovery.

The Complaint

Before filing a lawsuit, the injured person (plaintiff), must conduct pre-lawsuit investigation. This involves reviewing police accident reports, conducting informal discovery, and identifying parties that could be liable and legal remedies that can be argued against them.

After the plaintiff has completed this, they can 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 conduct or inaction. The typical complaint will include a demand for compensation for the victim's medical bills and lost income, as well as suffering and pain, and other damages related to their injuries.

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

During the discovery phase in the discovery stage, both parties exchange relevant information regarding their positions and evidence. This process includes depositions (also called interrogatories) and written questions (also called interrogatories) as well as requests for documents. This is usually the majority of the timeline for the lawsuit. In this phase, injury if there are any settlement possibilities, these will be discussed. The case will then go to trial if there's no settlement. In this time the attorney will present your story 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 share information with the other party and collect evidence. This can include witness testimony or details of the treatment you received from your doctor, and proof of losses you have suffered. Your attorney can utilize a variety of tools to aid you in discovery, such as interrogatories and Injury requests for documents. Requests for documentation are requests to provide all relevant evidence that are within each party's control. Interrogatories require written responses. Requests for admission are written letters to the other party asking for their admission to certain facts. This can cut down on time and cost as the attorneys don't need to prove their claims at trial. Depositions are live recordings of witnesses in which your attorney can interview them about the incident under oath, and get their answers recorded and transcribed by a court reporter.

While discovery may appear to be an lengthy unpleasant, time-consuming and uncomfortable process but it is an essential step to gather the evidence necessary to win your case. Your lawyer will be in a position to discuss the details of the discovery process with you during your free consultation. If you attempt to conceal an injury that is preexisting and has gotten worse due to a preexisting medical condition, this information may be found out during discovery and your case could be thrown out.

The Negotiation Phase

Reaching a negotiated settlement is the primary goal in most injuries. The process typically involves an exchange of back-and to and back-and-forth between your lawyer as well as the insurer of the party who is responsible. 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 determine the best number to request for your settlement and assist in negotiations.

The amount of damage, which includes medical bills, lost wages, and future losses, is a factor that is always changing. Your injuries can get worse over time. This could result in a rise in future losses or reduce the value of current losses. Your lawyer will ensure that damages are determined based on the severity of your injuries and the likelihood of the future recovery.

Insurance companies usually attempt to limit their payout by arguing against certain aspects of your claim. This could lead to an inability to settle settlement negotiations. However, your lawyer will have strategies that will assist you in overcoming these obstacles and get the best possible result for your case. In certain cases negotiations to reach an agreement could take months or even years. Many factors affect how long settlement negotiations be, but knowing what to expect can make the process less stressful and more efficient for you.

The Trial Phase

Most cases of injury are resolved outside of court through settlement negotiations. If there is no resolution the lawyer could decide to take the case to trial. This can be a stressful, expensive and time-consuming procedure. The jury will also have to decide if you should be paid for your injuries and If so, what amount. Your lawyer must thoroughly research your case to understand the circumstances of your injury, as well as the severity of damages, injuries and costs.

At this stage, your attorney will summon witnesses and experts to testify and present evidence of physical nature, such as documents, photos, and medical reports. This is the "case-in-chief" phase. The defense attorney will then summon witnesses to testify and argue why the plaintiff should not be awarded damages. The jury or judge will then look at the evidence and arguments presented by both sides.

The judge will explain to the jury the legal requirements that must be adhered to in order for them to decide whether to go in favor of plaintiffs or against defendants. This is known as jury instruction. Afterwards, each side makes their closing arguments. If the jury cannot reach an agreement on a verdict the judge will declare the trial an unconstitutional trial. In some cases appeals might be available if you are not satisfied with the results of your trial.
