How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured by an accident and are unable to get compensation for medical bills or lost income, you may file a lawsuit. However many people are confused about how the litigation process operates.
This blog post will talk about five steps that all personal injury Law claims have to go through.
Time to File
Each state has its own statute of limitations that sets the amount of time after an accident to bring a lawsuit. If you do not file your claim in this time frame it is usually dismissed.
Once a case is filed and the parties have been notified, they will begin the discovery process, which involves exchanging documents as well as witness testimony and depositions. Based on the complexity of your case, this may take months.
At this point, a skilled lawyer will present an offer for settlement. Your lawyer will only be able to make this demand after you have reached maximum medical improvement.
You may also have to adhere to additional deadlines if you were injured by an entity of the government or by a doctor who works for the government. They are often referred to by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling" and are specific to each case. Your attorney can explain them in more depth. In general, these cases are faster to be resolved than other ones.
Statute of Limitations
It is important to make a claim for personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state is up. These deadlines are applicable to many types of personal injury claims, such as car accidents and medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims and cases of wrongful deaths.

For example, the discovery rule allows you to file a case in the event that you discover (or should have discovered with reasonable care) your injury.

It is best to speak with an experienced attorney for injury to determine the particular time limit that applies to your particular situation. If you try to bring a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired, the court will likely dismiss your case. This could have devastating consequences for the victim and their family.
Damages

The jury will determine the amount of damages in accordance with the evidence presented in court. Your attorney will argue that the defendant failed to act with the level of care that reasonable people would have exercised in the same situation that led to your injury legal.
Special damages, like the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property or the value lost wages if an injury prevents you from working or causes you to take vacation or sick leave, are simple to determine. General damages, also known as pain and suffering are harder to determine. A lot of attorneys and insurance companies employ a multiplier, like a 1.5 to 5 factor, to estimate general damages. Serious injuries typically result in greater general damages than those resulting from smaller or less-permanent injuries.
