Injury Litigation

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

Your lawyer will then file your lawsuit. After the defendant has responded to the suit, it moves to the phase of fact-finding known as discovery.

The Complaint

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

After the plaintiff has completed this, they are able to make a complaint and summons. The complaint identifies the party who is being sued and describes the harm caused by the defendant's actions or lack thereof. It usually includes a request for compensation for the victim's medical expenses loss of income, suffering and pain, and other damages that result from their injury.

The defendant is then given 30 days to file a reply, known as an answer, in which they admit or deny the allegations made in the complaint. They may also file an additional counterclaim or include a third-party defendant in the suit.

During the discovery phase where both sides exchange pertinent information regarding their positions and evidence in the case. This involves depositions (also called interrogatories), written questions (also known as interrogatories) as well as requests for documents. This usually accounts for the majority of the timeframe for a lawsuit. If there are settlement options these will occur during this time. In the event that there is no settlement, the case will progress to trial. During this period your lawyer will present your side of the story before a judge or jury and the defendant will defend themselves.

The Discovery Phase

The discovery phase is a formal procedure that allows your legal team and the party at fault to exchange information and collect evidence. This can include witness statements, details regarding your medical treatment, as well as proof of the damages you have incurred. Your lawyer may also employ several tools during discovery to aid your case, including interrogatories, requests for documents and depositions. Interrogatories are written questions which require a response in writing as well as requests for documents require the submission of all relevant documents that fall under the control of each party. Requests for admission ask the other party to acknowledge certain facts, which can reduce time and cost since attorneys do not need to prove these uncontested facts during trial. Depositions are live discussions with witnesses. Your attorney can ask them questions regarding the incident while under oath. Their responses will be recorded and transcribed.

Discovery may seem like an uncomfortable, long and invasive process, but it is essential to collect the evidence required to be successful in your claim for compensation. Your attorney will be willing to go over the specifics of the discovery process in your free consultation. If you try to hide an injury that has already been aggravated due to a medical condition that was already present, this information may be discovered during the process of discovery and your case could be dismissed.

The Negotiation Phase

Negotiating a settlement is the goal of most injuries. The process of achieving this goal typically involves an exchange of information between your lawyer and the responsible party's 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 in deciding the amount of settlements you would like to seek and injury assist with negotiations.

One of the difficulties of the process of settling an injury case is that the amount of your damages - including your medical bills or lost income as well as future losses - is an evolving factor. The severity of your injuries could increase over time, which could increase your future losses and decrease the amount of your current losses. Your lawyer will ensure that damages are calculated based on your current injuries and the prognosis of the future recovery.

Insurance companies often try to limit their payout by challenging certain elements of your claim. This could lead to a delay in settlement negotiations. However your lawyer will have strategies to help you overcome these obstacles and achieve the best possible outcome for your case. The process of negotiating an agreement can be a lengthy process that can take months or years. Many factors affect the length of time settlement negotiations last, but knowing the length to expect will make the process less stressful and more efficient for you.

The Trial Phase

Although the majority of injury cases are resolved by settlement negotiations outside of court, your lawyer may decide to bring your case to trial if a satisfactory solution is not reached. This is a stressful long, expensive and costly process. The jury will also have to decide if you should be paid for your injuries and in the event that they do, how much. Your lawyer must thoroughly research your case in order to understand the circumstances surrounding your injury, the extent of injuries, damages, and costs.

Your lawyer will now call witnesses and experts and present physical evidence, like photographs or documents as well as medical reports. This is known as the case-in-chief phase. The defense attorney will call witnesses to testify on behalf of a defense, and argue that plaintiffs should not be awarded damages. The judge or jury will then take into consideration the evidence and arguments put forward by both parties.

The judge will explain to the jury the legal requirements that must be followed in order for them to decide whether to go in favor of the plaintiff or against the defendant. This is known as jury instruction. After that, both sides present their closing arguments. If the jury is unable to agree on a decision, the judge will declare that the trial an unconstitutional trial. If you are not happy with the outcome of your trial, there could be an appeal option.
