How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident, filing an injury lawsuit can help you recover damages to pay medical bills and to make up for lost income. Many people are unsure about the procedure of suing.
This blog post will talk about five stages that all personal injury claims must pass through.
Time to File
Every state has a law that limits the time you must file a lawsuit after an accident. If you fail to file your claim in this time frame it is nearly always dismissed.
After a case has been filed, the parties begin a process known as discovery that involves exchanging information such as documents, witness testimony and depositions. This can take a long time depending on the nature of the case.
A reputable lawyer will make a settlement request. But, your lawyer is not able to issue a settlement demand until you have reached the point of the greatest improvement in your medical condition and are as recovered as possible.
If you were injured by a government agency or a doctor employed by the government, you may have additional deadlines to adhere to in addition to the general statute of limitations. They are often referred to by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling", and are very specific to each case. Your lawyer can explain them in greater detail. These cases usually settle faster than other types of cases.
Statute of Limitations
If you'd like to maximize your chances of obtaining fair compensation, it is important to file an injury lawsuit before your state's statute of limitations expires. These deadlines apply to a variety of kinds of personal injury claims, including car accidents medical malpractice claims, product liability claims and wrongful deaths claims.
In the majority of states, the statute of limitations "clock" starts ticking when you are injured. There are exceptions to the rule which could cause it to stop in certain instances. The discovery rule, for example, allows you to file your case as soon as you discover (or would have discovered if you had taken reasonable care) the injury.
The statute of limitations may also be shortened or tolled in certain situations in certain circumstances, for example, if the plaintiff is younger or is mentally disabled. It is recommended to consult an experienced injury lawyer to determine the precise limitation period that applies to your situation. If you try to make a claim after the statute of limitations has expired the court may dismiss your case. This can have devastating consequences for the victim as well as their family.
Damages
If a person wins a personal injury law firms lawsuit is entitled to damages. These may include money to cover the cost of the medical treatment of the victim or lost wages, as well as the expenses caused by an accident. Other kinds of damages pay compensation to someone who is suffering from emotional distress or lost pleasure due to an accident.
The amount of damages will be determined by a jury, based on evidence presented in court. Your attorney will argue that the defendant failed to act in a manner which a reasonable person could have done in the same situation. This led to your injury.
Special damages, like the cost of replacing or repairing damaged property or lost wages when an injury prevents you from working or causes you to take a vacation or sick leave, are easy to calculate. General damages are also referred to as pain and suffering. They are more difficult to calculate. Many attorneys and insurance firms use an increaser, such as a 1.5 to 5 factor to estimate general damages. The most severe injuries are likely to result in higher general damages than small or short-lasting injuries.
Mediation
Mediation is not mandatory in all injury cases. However it is often used as a way to settle a dispute and avoid having a judge or jury decide the outcome. You can discuss your concerns during the mediation with a third party neutral known as mediator.
The mediator will ask you questions to find out what you're expecting and how much money you'd like. The two parties will sit down with the mediator. After that, you'll go back and forth with offers and counteroffers to find a solution.
The aim of mediation is achieving an agreement that neither the party who is at fault nor the the victim who has been injured want to go to court. This is a crucial step to avoid the long and stressful litigation process. Even the most difficult injury cases are settled via mediation.

Trial
While the vast majority injury cases are settled outside of the courtroom, your attorney could decide that going to trial is necessary. This will be based on your particular circumstances and the quality of your evidence and the insurance company that insured the defendant's offer.
During the trial, your lawyer will present a defense of peers to the jury. The jury will be accountable for determining if the defendant was negligent and in the event that they were, how much compensation you should receive to pay for your injuries, expenses and financial losses.
During the trial your lawyer will use evidence to show that the negligence of the defendant contributed to your injuries and financial damages are required to pay for your expenses and losses. The defense will make use of evidence to defend itself against your accusations, and also to prevent them from having to pay you any amount.
