Certain elements are the same regardless of the type of personal injury case you have on your hands. The first is appointing and consulting with your attorney. They will discuss the facts of the case, requirements, fees, and what they can do for you. After you have formed a working relationship, your attorney will be collecting evidence and information to help build a stronger case in your favor. You can choose to settle out of court, but if an adequate settlement has not been reached, a lawsuit shall be filed by your attorney. Depending on the case’s complexity, it can take months to many years for the lawsuit to conclude. While the case is being fought, mediation can be requested between both parties. The case can also go to trial, after which a final verdict is announced. This is a very brief summary of a personal injury case; there can be other stages depending on the complications.
