Injury Litigation

Injuries litigation is the legal procedure that allows you to collect compensation for your injuries and losses. Your lawyer will create solid evidence in your case by utilizing eyewitness testimony, medical documentation in the form of defendant statements, expert witness opinions.

Your lawyer will then start the lawsuit. Once the defendant has responded, the case enters the discovery phase, which is a process of finding facts.

The Complaint

Before the lawsuit can be filed, an injured person (plaintiff) must conduct pre-lawsuit discovery. This includes reading police accident reports, conducting informal discovery, and identifying potential at-fault parties.

After the plaintiff has completed this, they are able to file a summons and complaint. The complaint identifies who is the party who is being sued. It also describes the harm that was caused by the defendant's conduct or lack thereof. It typically contains a request for damages for injuries suffered by the victim, including medical bills as well as lost wages or income, as well as pain and other damages.

The defendant has 30 days to respond, referred to as an answer. In this response, the defendant is able to admit or deny any claims made in the complaint. They can also file an appeal or add a third party defendant to the suit.

During the discovery phase in the discovery phase, both sides will exchange relevant information about their positions and the evidence they have in the case. This process includes depositions (also called interrogatories) as well as written questions (also called interrogatories) as well as requests for documents. This phase typically accounts for the most of the timeline for lawsuits. If there are settlement possibilities they will be made during this time. In the event that there is no settlement the case will go to trial. In this instance the attorney will explain your perspective to a judge or jury and the defendant will put on their defense.

The Discovery Phase

Discovery is a formal process that permits you and your legal team to exchange information with the other party and collect evidence. This could include witness statements, details regarding your medical treatment, and proof of the losses you have incurred. Your lawyer can also make use of several tools during discovery to help your case, such as interrogatories, requests for documents and depositions. Interrogatories are written queries that require a written response, while request for documents involve requesting all relevant documentation that is under the control of the parties. Requests for admission ask the other party to admit certain facts. This could reduce time and cost since attorneys do not need to prove the facts uncontested at trial. Depositions are live interviews with witnesses. Your attorney can ask them questions regarding the incident under oath. Their responses will be recorded and transcribed.

While discovery may appear to be an lengthy unpleasant, time-consuming and uncomfortable process, it is a necessary step to gather the evidence required to win your injury claim. Your attorney will be willing to go over the specifics of the discovery process with you during your no-cost consultation. For instance, if you attempt to conceal a preexisting health issue that caused your injury to get worse, this information could be discovered during the discovery process and thrown out of your case.

The Negotiation Phase

A settlement that is negotiated is the main goal of many injuries. The process for achieving this goal typically involves a back-and-forth exchange between your lawyer and the insurance company. 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 determining the amount of settlement that you want to demand and then help in negotiations.

The amount of damage, which includes medical bills, lost wages and future losses, is a variable that is dynamic. The severity of your injuries could increase over time, which can increase your future losses and decrease the value of your current losses. Your lawyer will ensure that your damages are determined by the current state of your injuries, and provide a complete outlook for future recovery.

Insurance companies often try to limit their payout by challenging certain elements of your claim. This can lead to a delay in settlement negotiations. However, your lawyer will have strategies to help you overcome these hurdles and obtain the best possible result for your case. Negotiating an agreement may take months or even years. There are many factors that affect the length of time that settlement negotiations last, but knowing the length to expect can make the process less stressful and more effective for you.

The Trial Phase

The majority of injury cases are resolved outside of court through settlement negotiations. If there is no resolution, injured your lawyer may decide to proceed to trial. This is a stressful, expensive and time-consuming process. The jury must also decide if you should be compensated for your injuries, and should they, if so, in what amount. Therefore, it is essential for your lawyer to thoroughly research your case in this phase to fully comprehend how you were injured and the severity of your injuries, the damages and costs.

At this stage, your attorney will call witnesses and experts to testify, and provide evidence in the form of documents, photographs and medical reports. This is known as the "case-in-chief" phase. The defense attorney will summon witnesses to testify in argument against the plaintiff and argue that the plaintiff should not be entitled to damages. The jury or judge weighs the arguments and evidence of both sides.

The judge will then outline the legal standards that must be met for the jury to come up with a verdict for the plaintiff and against the defendant. This is referred to as jury instruction. Each side then presents its closing arguments. If the jury is unable to agree on a verdict the judge will declare that the trial a mistrial. In some rare instances appeals may be available if not satisfied with the result of your trial.
