How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident and have suffered injuries, filing a lawsuit will help you get compensation to pay medical bills and compensate for the loss of income. However many people are confused about how the litigation process is conducted.
This blog post will talk about five important milestones that all personal injury claims have to go through.
Time to File
Each state has a statute that limits the amount of time you are required to start a lawsuit following an accident. If you fail to submit your claim within the timeframe the claim is almost always dismissed.
Once a case is filed, the parties will begin the process of discovery that includes exchanging documents, witness testimony, and depositions. This could take months depending on the nature of the case.
At this point, a skilled lawyer will submit an agreement demand. Your attorney can only make this demand after you have achieved your maximum medical improvement.
If you've been injured by a government agency or a doctor employed by the government, you could have additional deadlines to comply with in addition the general statute of limitations. These are sometimes referred to as "discovery rules" or equitable tolling and are very specific to each situation. Your attorney can explain them in more depth. They are usually resolved faster than other cases.
Statute of Limitations
It is vital to start a lawsuit for personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state ends. These deadlines apply to a variety of personal injury claims which include car accidents, medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims and cases of wrongful deaths.
In most states, "the clock" of the statute of limitations starts to run on the day you've been injured. However there are exceptions to this rule, which can effectively stop the clock in certain situations. For example, the discovery rule allows you to file a claim in the event that you discover (or should have discovered with reasonable care) your injury.
In certain cases the statute of limitations may be shortened or even tolled. For instance, if the plaintiff is mentally disabled or is underage. Talk to an experienced lawyer to determine the applicable statute of limitations to your particular case. If you attempt to bring a lawsuit after the statute of limitation has expired, the court will likely dismiss your case. This could have devastating implications on the victim and the family members of the victim.
Damages
If a person is awarded a personal injury lawsuit is entitled damages. They can include money for the victim's medical costs or lost wages as well as other injuries-related costs.

Special damages, such as the cost of replacing or repairing damaged property or the value lost wages when an injury prevents you from working or causes you to take vacation or sick leave, are simple to calculate. General damages, also known as pain and suffering, are harder to determine. A lot of attorneys and insurance companies use multipliers, such as a 1.5 to 5 factor to calculate general damages. In the majority of cases, severe injuries result in higher general damage awards than minor or short-lasting injuries.
Mediation
