The Intake Process for Car Accident Litigation
A lawyer with experience in litigation involving car accidents will be able to help you determine the worth of your case and how much settlement you could get. But, this is only possible if you have all the necessary information.
Discovery is the first stage of a car accident case. In this phase, attorneys and their teams will exchange documents and discuss questions under the oath.
Documentation
Documentation is a major element of an auto accident law firm. This can include evidence such as medical records, photos, or witness statements. In general, the more evidence you have to back your claim the stronger your case will be.
The first piece of documentation you should have is a police report. Typically the police officer that arrives at the scene of the accident will draft an investigation report. This will provide important information about how the crash occurred and who was responsible for the incident.
Your attorney can also use the law enforcement report to seek additional evidence if required. For example, if the incident took place in a commercial or office, an employee working at the location might have recorded footage of the incident. If this is the situation, the tape must be requested from the company as soon as is possible.
Keep track of any expenses you incur in the aftermath of the accident. Document all expenses you have incurred as a result of. These could include medical bills as well as records of your treatment, medication receipts rental car costs for in-home assistance, care at home, transportation costs and more. It is also important to document the loss of income due to your accident. This could include old pay stubs, as well as tax returns.
If you can, collect the names of witnesses to the incident as well. They can be valuable sources of information for your case, especially in the event that they are able to be a witness in a trial. However, it's important to remember that witnesses are prone to altering their story over time and could forget specific details about the accident.
Intake and Investigation
Whether you have filed a claim with an insurance company or are preparing an action against an at-fault driver, the intake process is essential to receive the fair and complete compensation you deserve for your injuries from a crash. Your attorney will begin by looking over your medical records, as well as obtaining copies of accident reports and other evidence. They will also visit and document the scene of the accident.
This will help them to assess the severity of injuries you have suffered in terms of cost and projections for your physical or emotional suffering. They will then review your existing and expected financial losses to estimate the total value of your case. The damages could not be limited to just future and present medical expenses, but also lost income and property damage.
Your lawyer will also conduct an investigation into the incident, including speaking with witnesses and reviewing any available evidence. They will also gather the driver who was at fault and their driving cell phone records to see what they were doing with their vehicle at the time of the accident. This is particularly important when there was a collision with an Uber or Lyft vehicle or any other indication that the driver worked while on the clock.
In addition the lawyer may inquire about the defendant's past criminal and traffic offence history during the discovery process. These facts are usually not admissible, but can be used to undermine the defendant's credibility in cross-examination.
The process of negotiating a settlement
Once you have received the medical records, you are able to begin negotiations for settlement. The insurance company is likely to make an initial offer that is less than the amount you requested in your letter. This is a way to assess the strength of your argument. In your counteroffer, it's essential to highlight the most compelling points you have to your advantage. For example, that the insurance company was at fault and that there were severe injuries and the medical costs were high. The process of negotiating back and forth should eventually lead to an acceptable and reasonable amount.
An experienced accident lawyer will effectively argue the merits of your case, including presenting evidence that supports your losses. This could include photos of car damage, police reports or witness testimony. We also know how to calculate the value of various components of your claim, like loss of income, suffering and pain.
At this point, if the insurance company is still refusing to offer a reasonable amount, we have the option to start a lawsuit in the courtroom. A trial usually lasts for one or two days and is usually ruled by an individual judge (called a bench trial) or a jury. If your case settles prior to this phase it could take several months. Your lawyer may also be able to file a summary motion to enter judgment. This involves asserting all of the evidence to your advantage and arguing that it is impossible for the opposing side to prevail.
