Injury litigation is a legal procedure through which you can recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Your lawyer will use strong evidence to prove your case, such as eyewitness testimony, medical records in the form of statements from the defendant, as well as expert witness opinions.

The Complaint

Before filing a lawsuit the person who was injured (plaintiff) must conduct a pre-lawsuit investigations. This includes reviewing accident reports and conducting informal discovery and identifying any potentially liable parties and available causes of action that could be argued against them.

After the plaintiff has completed this, they can start a summons as well as a complaint. The complaint details the damage caused by the defendant or his actions. It typically includes a request for compensation for the victim's medical expenses loss of income, suffering and pain, and other damages resulting from their injury.

The defendant has 30 days to respond, also known as an answer. In this response, the defendant can admit or deny any allegations made in the complaint. They may also include third party defendants or file a counterclaim.

During the discovery phase in the discovery phase, both sides will exchange relevant information about their positions and evidence in the case. This process includes depositions (also known as interrogatories) and written questions (also known as interrogatories) and requests for documents. This usually takes up the majority of the timeframe for a lawsuit. If there are settlement possibilities they will be made during this time. The case will proceed to trial if there is no settlement. During this period your lawyer will provide your perspective before a judge or a jury and the defendant will take on their defense.

The Discovery Phase

Discovery is a formal process that allows you and your legal team to share information with the other party and gather evidence. This can include witness statements, information about your medical treatment and evidence of the losses you have incurred. Your lawyer can also make use of various tools in discovery to help your case, including interrogatories, requests for documentation and depositions. Interrogatories are written questions which require a response in writing while requests for documents involves requesting all relevant documentation that is under the control of each party. Requests for admission are letters to the other party asking them to admit certain facts. This could save time and money since attorneys don't have to prove the facts at trial. Depositions are live conversations with witnesses where your attorney is able to inquire about the incident under oath, and have their answers recorded and transcribing by a court reporter.

Discovery may appear to be an uncomfortable, long and invasive process, but it is essential to gather the evidence needed to win your injury claim. Your lawyer will be able to discuss the specifics of the discovery process with you during your no-cost consultation. For instance, if try to hide a preexisting health issue that caused your injury to get worse or aggravated, the information could be discovered during the discovery process and dismissed from your case.

The Negotiation Phase

The negotiation of a settlement is the main goal of many lawsuits involving injuries. The process typically involves a exchange of back and forth between your lawyer and 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 in deciding the amount of settlements you would like to request and assist with negotiations.

One of the issues with settlement of an injury claim is that the amount of your damages - including your medical bills or lost income as well as future losses - is a dynamic factor. Your injuries may worsen over time, which may increase the amount of your future losses and reduce the value of your current losses. Your lawyer will ensure that damages are determined based on the severity of your injuries and the likelihood of future recovery.

Insurance companies usually try to limit their payout by arguing against certain aspects of your claim. This can delay settlement negotiations but your lawyer will have strategies to help you overcome these challenges and reach the best possible outcome for your case. Negotiating an agreement may take months or years. Numerous factors influence how long settlement negotiations will take, but knowing what to expect can make the process easier and injury more efficient for you.

The Trial Phase

Most cases of injury are settled outside of court through settlement negotiations. However, if an agreement is not reached, your lawyer may decide to go to trial. It is a costly lengthy, time-consuming and stressful procedure. The jury must also decide if you should be compensated for your injuries, and If so, what amount. Your lawyer must thoroughly research your case to determine the circumstances surrounding your injury lawyers, as well as the severity of the injuries, damages and the costs.

At this point, your attorney will call witnesses and experts to testify. They will also present physical evidence such as photographs, documents and medical reports. This is the "case-in-chief" phase. The defense attorney will summon witnesses to testify in rebuttal and argue that the plaintiff should not be awarded damages. The judge or jury weighs the evidence and arguments of both parties.

The judge will explain to jurors the legal standards that must be followed in order for them to decide in favor of plaintiffs or against defendants. This is referred to 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 the trial an unconstitutional trial. In some rare cases an appeal could be available in the event that you are not satisfied with the result of your trial.
