How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident and have suffered injuries, filing a lawsuit can help you recover damages to cover medical expenses and make up for lost income. Many people are unsure about the procedure of suing.
This blog post will discuss five stages that all personal injury claims have to pass through.
Time to File
Every state has a law that restricts the time you must bring a lawsuit following an accident. If you do not file your claim within this time frame, it will almost always be dismissed.
After a case has been filed and the parties have been notified, they will begin the process of discovery that includes exchanging documents witnesses' testimony, documents, and depositions. This could take several months depending on the complexity of the case.
At this point, an experienced lawyer will make an offer for settlement. However, your lawyer cannot issue a settlement demand until you've reached the point of maximum medical improvement and you are as healthy as possible.
There is also the possibility that you must adhere to additional deadlines if you were injured by an organization of the government or a doctor who works for the government. These are sometimes referred by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling", and are very specific to each case. Your lawyer can clarify these more in detail. These cases are typically resolved 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 runs out. These deadlines apply to a variety of different types of personal injury cases including car accidents, medical malpractice claims, product liability claims and wrongful death lawsuits.
In most states the statute of limitations "clock" starts to tick when you are injured. There are some exceptions to this rule that can stop it in certain instances. For instance the discovery rule allows you to file a lawsuit in the event that you discover (or should have discovered with reasonable care) the injury.
The statute of limitations can be reduced or even tolled in certain situations, such as when the plaintiff is underage or mentally disabled. Contact an experienced injury lawyer to determine the applicable statute of limitations to your particular case. If you attempt to make a claim after the statute of limitation has expired, the court will likely dismiss your case. This can have devastating consequences for the victim and their family.
Damages
A person who is awarded an injury lawsuit is entitled to damages. This could include money to pay for the victim's medical treatment and lost wages as well as the costs associated with an accident. Other types of damages compensate someone who suffers from emotional distress or loss of enjoyment due to an accident.
The amount of damages is determined by a jury based upon evidence presented in court. Your lawyer will argue that the defendant failed to act in a manner that a reasonable person would have done in the same circumstance. This led to your injury.
Special damages are usually simple to calculate, such as the cost to repair or replace damaged property or the amount of lost earnings if an injury prevented you from working, or forced you to take time off or sick. General damages, also referred to as pain and suffering are harder to determine. Many lawyers and insurance firms employ a multiplier to estimate the amount of general damages, like an amount of 1.5 to 5. In the majority of cases, severe injuries result in greater general damages than minor or short-lasting injuries.
Mediation
Mediation isn't mandatory for every injury case. However it can be utilized as a way to resolve a dispute and avoid having a judge or jury decide the outcome. At the mediation, you can discuss your concerns with a neutral third party, known as mediator.
The mediator will ask you questions to find out what you expect and the amount of money you want. Then, the two parties will discuss their differences with the mediator. Then, you will make counter-offers and exchange proposals to find a solution.
The purpose of mediation is to come to an agreement that neither the liable party nor injured victim would prefer to take to court. This is a crucial step to avoid the long and stressful process of litigation. Even the most complex injury cases are settled at mediation.

Trial
Your attorney could decide to pursue a trial in the event that your case cannot be resolved outside of court. This will depend on your personal circumstances, your evidence and the settlement offer from the defendant's insurer.
Your attorney will present your case before a jury during the trial. The jury will be accountable to determine if the defendant was negligent and, should they be awarded compensation you will receive to pay for your injuries, expenses and financial losses.
During the trial the lawyer will use evidence to prove that the negligence of the defendant contributed to your injuries and that financial damages are required to cover your losses and expenses. The defense will make use of evidence to back up your accusations, and also to prevent them from having to pay you any amount. The jury will then consider the evidence after both sides have presented their closing arguments. The verdict, which is given by the judge or jury in a bench trial, will determine if the defendant was negligent and if so, what amount of financial compensation you are entitled to.
