How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you have been injured in an accident and need to seek compensation for medical expenses or lost income, you can start a lawsuit. However many people aren't sure about how the litigation process is conducted.
This blog post will cover five important milestones that all personal injury claims have to go through.
Time to File
Every state has a statute of limitations which defines the time period after an accident, you are required to file a lawsuit. If you do not file your claim within this timeframe, it will most likely be dismissed.
After a case has been filed and the parties are able to start a process called discovery, which involves exchanging information like documents, witness statements and depositions. This could take several months depending on the complexity of the case.
A good lawyer will present a settlement demand. However, your lawyer cannot issue a settlement demand until you have reached the point of the greatest improvement in your medical condition and are as well-as possible.
You may also have to adhere to additional time limits if you were injured by an entity belonging to the government or by a doctor who is employed by the government. These are commonly referred to as "discovery rules" or firms equitable tolling and are specific to each case. Your attorney can explain them in more detail. Generally these cases can be solved more quickly than other cases.
Statute of limitations
If you want to maximize your chances of getting fair compensation, it's essential to file an injury lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires. These deadlines apply to many types of personal injury claims including car accidents as well as medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims and wrongful death cases.
In most states the statute of limitations "clock" begins to tick on the day you were injured. However there are exceptions to this rule, which can effectively stop the clock in some cases. The discovery rule, firms for instance allows you to start your case as soon you realize (or would have discovered if you had taken reasonable care) the injury.
The statute of limitations could be reduced or even tolled in certain situations, such as when the plaintiff is younger or mentally disabled. Consult an experienced injury lawyer to determine the statute of limitations applicable to your situation. If you attempt to file a claim after the deadline has passed your case will most likely be dismissed by the court. This can result in a devastating outcome for the victim as well as their family.
Damages
If a person is awarded an injury lawsuit is entitled to damages. They may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and injuries-related costs. Other damages could be awarded to compensate for the loss of enjoyment or emotional distress resulting from an accident.
The amount of damages is determined by a jury on the basis of the evidence presented in court. Your attorney will argue that defendant did not act in a manner that a reasonable person might have done in the same situation. This led to your injury attorney.
Special damages, like the cost of replacing or repairing damaged property or lost wages if an injury stops you from working, or forces you to take a vacation or sick leave, are easy to calculate. General damages, also referred to as pain and suffering, are harder to quantify. Many lawyers and insurance firms use a multiplier to determine the amount of general damages, like a multiplier of 1.5 to 5. In the majority of cases, severe injuries result in higher general damages awards than smaller or less-permanent injuries.
Mediation
While it's not an obligatory element in any injury case it can be used to settle a dispute without having a judge or jury decide the outcome. In mediation, you are able to discuss your concerns with an impartial third party known as a mediator.
The mediator will ask you questions to determine what you're expecting and the amount of money you'd like. The mediator will then talk with both sides at a time. Then, you will make counter-offers and exchange offers to find a solution.

Trial

During the trial, your attorney will present a case to peers before a jury. The jury will determine whether the defendant was negligent, and if they were then how much compensation is due to compensate your injuries, financial losses, and expenses.
During the trial, your lawyer will use evidence to prove that the negligence of the defendant led to your injuries and financial damages are required to compensate for your losses and expenses. The defense will make use of evidence to counter your claims, and stop them from having to pay you any money. After both sides have given their closing arguments, the jury will deliberate. The verdict will be given by a judge or a jury at the bench trial. It will determine whether the defendant was negligent or if they were, how much financial damages are you entitled to.
