How Do Personal Injury Lawsuits Work?
Personal injury lawsuits follow a structured process after someone is injured due to another's negligence:
Consultation: Meet with a specialized attorney who evaluates your case.
Investigation: Your attorney collects evidence including medical records and witness statements.
Demand: Your attorney may send a settlement proposal to the insurance company before filing.
Filing: If settlement fails, a formal complaint initiates your lawsuit.
Discovery: Both sides exchange information through depositions and document requests.
Negotiation: Most cases settle before trial through negotiation or mediation.
Trial: If necessary, a judge or jury determines liability and damages.
Resolution: Successful claims result in compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Working with experienced attorneys helps navigate this process effectively.
