How the injury lawsuits Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident and have suffered injuries, filing a lawsuit can help you recover damages to pay for medical expenses and compensate for the loss of income. However many people are confused about how the litigation process is conducted.
In this blog post, we'll look at five milestones in litigation that every personal injury lawyers claim must be through.
Time to File
Every state has a statute of limitation that specifies the time frame after an accident to make a claim. If you don't file your claim in the timeframe the claim is almost always dismissed.
When a case is filed, the parties begin a process known as discovery, which involves exchanging information like documents, witness statements and depositions. Depending on the complexity of your case, this could take months.
A good lawyer will then offer a 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.
You could also be required 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 often referred to by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling" and are specific for each situation. Your lawyer can explain them in more depth. In general, these cases are resolved more quickly than others.
Statute of limitations
It is essential to make a claim for personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state expires. These deadlines apply to a variety of personal injury claims, including car accidents as well as medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims as well as the cases of wrongful death.
In the majority of states, the statute of limitations "clock" starts ticking on the day you were injured. There are exceptions to the rule that could effectively pause it in certain instances. The discovery rule, for example, allows you to file your case as soon when you have discovered (or would have discovered if you had taken reasonable care) the injury.
In some instances, the statute of limitation may be reduced or extended. For example when the plaintiff is mentally handicapped or is underage. Get an experienced injury lawyer to determine the statute of limitations applicable to your particular case. If you attempt to submit a claim after your time limit has expired the case could be dismissed by the court. This could have devastating consequences on the victim as well as their family.
Damages
A person who wins in a personal injury case is entitled to compensation. These can include money for medical costs, lost wages and the costs associated with an accident. Other kinds of damages pay compensation to someone who is suffering from emotional distress or loss of satisfaction due to an accident.
The amount of damages is determined by a jury based on evidence presented to the court. Your attorney will argue that the defendant did not act in a manner that a reasonable individual would have done in the same circumstance. This led to your injury.
Special damages, like the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property or the value lost wages when an injury prevents you from working or requires you to take a vacation or sick leave, are easy to calculate. General damages are also referred to as pain and suffering. They are more difficult to determine. Many attorneys and insurance firms employ a multiplier, like a 1.5 to 5 factor to calculate general damages. General damages tend to be more severe for injuries that are serious than for minor or short-term injuries.
Mediation
While it's not an essential element of every injury case it is possible to use mediation to settle a dispute without having a jury or judge decide on the outcome. You can discuss your concerns at the mediation with a third party neutral who is referred to as a mediator.
The mediator will ask you questions to determine what you're hoping to achieve and how much money you want. Then, both sides will have a private discussion with the mediator. You will then make counteroffers and exchange offers for a resolution.
The goal of mediation is to come to an agreement where neither the responsible party nor injured victim want to go to court. This is a vital step to avoid a lengthy and stressful litigation process. Even the most difficult injury cases are settled via mediation.

Trial
Your attorney may decide to take your case to trial in the event that your case isn't settled outside of court. This will be based on your individual circumstances and the strength of your evidence and the insurance company that insured the defendant's offer.
During the trial, your lawyer will present a case to peers to jurors. The jury will determine if the defendant was negligent and, if they were what amount of compensation is due to cover your losses due to injuries, financial loss and other expenses.
During trial, your lawyer will use evidence to prove that the negligence of the defendant caused to your injuries. They will also show that financial damages are required to cover your expenses and losses. The defense will use evidence to defend itself against your accusations, and also to prevent them from having to pay any amount. After both sides have made their closing arguments the jury will then deliberate. The verdict, handed down by the judge or a jury in a bench trial will decide if the defendant was negligent and in the event of negligence, what amount of financial compensation you are entitled to.
