How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you have been injured by an accident and are unable to claim compensation for medical expenses or lost income, you can bring a lawsuit. However, many people are unclear about how the litigation process works.
In this blog post, we'll discuss five litigation milestones that every personal injury claim must undergo.
Time to File
Each state has a statute of limitations that sets the period of time following an accident, you are required to start a lawsuit. If you do not make a claim within this window, it will most likely be dismissed.
After a case has been filed and the parties have been notified, they will begin an investigation process that involves exchanging documents witness testimony, documents, and depositions. It could take a few months depending on the complexity of the case.
A good lawyer will submit a settlement request. Your lawyer can only make this demand once you have achieved your maximum medical improvement.
If you were injured by a government entity or a physician working for the government, you may be subject to additional time limitations that you must meet in addition to the general statute of limitations. These are sometimes referred by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling", and are very specific to each case. Your lawyer can explain them in more depth. In general these cases can be quicker to resolve than other cases.
Statute of Limitations
If you want to increase your chances of receiving fair compensation, it's crucial to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out. 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 cases of wrongful deaths.
In the majority of states, "the clock" of the statute of limitations begins to tick on the day you have been injured. There are a few exceptions to the rule that can effectively stop it in certain instances. For example, the discovery rule allows you to file a claim after you have discovered (or should have discovered with reasonable care) your injury.
In certain cases the statute of limitations may be shortened or injury claim even tolled. For instance when the plaintiff is mentally impaired or underage. Contact an experienced injury lawyer to determine the statute of limitations applicable to your situation. If you try to file a lawsuit after the statute of limitation has expired the court is likely to dismiss your case. This could have devastating implications on the victim and his or her family.
Damages
A person who is awarded an injury litigation lawsuit is entitled to damages. This could include money to pay for the victim's medical treatment or lost wages, as well as the expenses associated with an accident. Other types of damages compensate someone who has suffered emotional distress or loss of pleasure due to an accident.
The amount of damages will be determined by a jury based upon evidence presented to the court. Your attorney will argue that defendant did not perform in a manner that a reasonable person might have done in the same situation. 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 litigation stops you from working or requires you to take vacation or sick leave are easy to determine. General damages, also referred to as pain and suffering are harder to determine. Many attorneys and insurance companies utilize a multiplier in estimating the amount of general damages, for instance, a factor of 1.5 to 5. General damages are usually higher for severe injuries than for less serious or short-term injuries.
Mediation
Mediation isn't required in all injury cases. However it can be utilized to resolve a dispute and avoid having a jury or judge decide the outcome. In mediation, you will be able to discuss your concerns with an impartial third party known as mediator.
The mediator will ask questions to determine what you want in your settlement and what your expectations are. The mediator will then meet with both sides in a private setting. After that, you will exchange counteroffers and offers in order to come to a resolution.
The aim of mediation is to reach an agreement in which neither the responsible party nor injured victim want to go to court.

Trial
Although the majority of cases of injury are settled out of court, your attorney might decide that a trial is required. This will be based on your individual circumstances, the strength of your evidence as well as the defendant's insurance company's settlement offer.
During the trial, your lawyer will present a case of peers before jurors. The jury will determine if the defendant was negligent and if they were then how much compensation is due to compensate your injuries, financial losses and other expenses.
During the trial, your lawyer will make use of evidence to prove that the negligence of the defendant caused your injuries and you are entitled to financial compensation to cover those expenses and losses. The defense will present evidence to argue your accusations and keep them from owing you any money. The jury will then consider the evidence after both sides have presented their closing arguments.
