Steps of the Personal Injury Claim Process
One of the reasons that you might be hesitant to speak with a personal injury lawyer and take on a claim is that you don’t know how the legal process works. When you don’t know the timeline or general process of a personal injury claim, it can be confusing and deter you from getting the justice you deserve. That’s why our lawyers are transparent—we understand how intimidating this process can be, and we want you to feel comfortable every step of the way. Here is the general process that you can expect when you decide to file a personal injury claim against the negligent party who caused your injuries and damages:
- Consultation. The first step that you’ll need to take is getting a consultation with a personal injury lawyer so that you can discuss your potential claim and what happened to you. At this meeting, you should bring all your documentation and evidence that proves what happened, how you were hurt, and the damages that resulted from the accident. From here, your lawyer will look into your evidence and decide if they want to represent you or not. If they choose to take your case, they will file the claim.
- Discovery. This part of the legal process is where both sides will request information and evidence from both sides so that they can each build their case. They will also share the statements from everyone involved, including any witnesses. This can take a long time because your lawyer will want to collect all possible information to ensure that your case is completely developed.
- Negotiation and Mediation. From there, both parties will start negotiating to meet a settlement. Both sides will be working in their party’s favor, so sometimes these negotiations can take a long time, or they won’t be able to reach a resolution where both parties are happy.
- Settlement. If they can reach an agreement, then the settlement will be the final step of the process. However, if they can’t agree on a settlement, then the case will continue through the process and go into trial.
- Trial. Most personal injury cases settle out of court, and lawyers will try to avoid going to trial as best as possible, but if it goes to trial, your attorney will fight to reach the conclusion that you’re hoping for.
