How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you have been injured in an accident and you need to recover damages for medical expenses or lost income, you can bring a lawsuit. Many people aren't sure about the process of filing a lawsuit.
This blog post will discuss five stages that all personal injury claims have to pass through.
Time to File
Every state has a statute of limitations that defines the period of time following an accident to make a claim. If you don't submit your claim within this time frame, it is almost always dismissed.
Once a case is filed the parties will then begin the discovery process, which involves exchanging documents witness testimony, documents, and depositions. Depending on the complexity of your case, this may take months.
A good lawyer will offer a settlement. Your lawyer will only be able to make this demand once you have achieved the maximum level of 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. These are generally called "discovery rules" or equitable tolling, and are specific to each case. Your attorney can explain them in more detail. They are usually resolved faster than other cases.
Statute of limitations
It is essential to file a lawsuit for personal injury legal before the statute of limitations in your state runs out. These deadlines apply to a variety of personal injury law claims including car accidents and medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims and wrongful death cases.
In the majority of states, "the clock" of the statute of limitations starts to tick the day after the injury. There are a few exceptions to the rule which can stop it in certain situations. For example the discovery rule permits you to file a lawsuit when you discover (or should have discovered with reasonable care) your injury.
The statute of limitations may be extended or reduced in certain situations like when the plaintiff is underage or has a mental disability. It is recommended to consult an experienced injury attorney to determine the exact limitation period that applies to your particular case. If you try to start a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired the court is likely to dismiss your case. This could have devastating implications on the victim as well as his or her family.
Damages
A person who wins a personal injury lawsuit is entitled to receive damages. They may include compensation to cover medical expenses as well as lost wages and other accident-related costs. Other kinds of damages are awarded to a person who has suffered emotional distress or loss of satisfaction because of an accident.
The amount of damages is determined by a jury based upon evidence presented in court. Your attorney will argue that the defendant did not act in a manner that a reasonable person would have done in the same circumstance. This resulted in your injury.
Special damages, such as 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 a vacation or sick leave, are easy to determine. General damages are also called pain and suffering. They are more difficult to determine. Many attorneys and insurance companies use a multiplier to estimate the amount of general damages, like a multiplier of 1.5 to 5. Serious injuries typically lead to higher general damages awards than smaller or less-permanent injuries.
Mediation
Mediation isn't required for every injury lawyers case. However, it can be used to resolve a dispute and avoid having a jury or judge decide the outcome. You can discuss your concerns at the mediation with a third party neutral known as a mediator.
The mediator will ask questions to determine how much you'd like to receive in your settlement and what your expectations are. The mediator will then meet with both sides on their own. Then, you'll go back and forth with counteroffers and offers to arrive at a settlement.
The party who is at fault and the victim who was injured want to go to court and so the aim is to settle in mediation. This is an important step to avoid the long and stressful process of litigation. Even the most complicated injuries are resolved through mediation.

Trial
Your attorney may decide to go to trial if your case has not been settled outside of court. This will be based on your individual circumstances, the quality of your evidence, and the defendant's insurance company's settlement offer.
During the trial, your lawyer will present your case to peers to jurors. The jury will determine whether the defendant was negligent and if they were the amount of compensation that should be paid to cover your injuries, financial losses, and expenses.
During the trial, your attorney will present evidence to prove that the negligence of the defendant was responsible for your injuries and that you have a right to financial damages to cover these expenses and losses. The defense will use evidence to argue your allegations, and prevent them from having to pay you any money. The jury will then deliberate after both sides have presented their closing arguments. The verdict, which is issued by either the judge or jury in a bench trial, injury attorney will determine whether the defendant was negligent and, should it be determined what amount of financial damages you are entitled to.
