How the injury lawsuits Lawsuit Process Works
If you've been injured in an accident, filing an injury lawsuit will help you get compensation to pay your medical bills and replace lost income. However, many people are unclear about how the process operates.
This blog post will talk about five milestones that all personal injury claims have to go through.
Time to File
Every state has a law which limits the time you are required to make a claim following an accident. If you fail to submit your claim within the timeframe, it is almost always dismissed.
Once a case is filed and the parties have been notified, they will begin the process of discovery that includes exchanging documents witness testimony, documents, and depositions. Depending on the nature of your case, this can take months.
A good lawyer will then submit a settlement request. However, your lawyer can't make a demand until after you've reached the stage of the greatest improvement in your medical condition and are as fully recovered as possible.
You may also be required to adhere to additional time limits if you were injured by a government entity the government or a doctor who is employed by the government. These are sometimes referred to by the terms "discovery rule" or "equitable tolling", and are very specific for each situation. Your attorney can explain them in greater detail. These cases are typically resolved faster than other types of cases.
Statute of limitations
It is essential to start a lawsuit for personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state is up. These deadlines are applicable to many types of personal injury claims which include car accidents, medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims and wrongful death cases.
In the majority of states, the statute of limitations "clock" starts to tick on the day that you were injured. There are exceptions to the rule which can effectively stop it in certain cases. The discovery rule, for example allows you to start your case as soon when you have discovered (or would have discovered had you taken reasonable care) the injury.
The statute of limitation can also be shortened or tolled in certain cases like when the plaintiff is underage or has mental disabilities. It is best to speak with an experienced injury lawyer to determine the precise statute of limitations applicable to your case. If you attempt to make a claim after the statute of limitation has expired the court could dismiss your case. This can have devastating consequences on the victim and their family.
Damages
If a person wins an injury lawsuit is entitled to compensation. They can include money for the victim's medical costs as well as lost wages and other accident-related costs. Other types of damages are awarded to a person who suffers from emotional distress or loss of enjoyment in life because of an accident.
The amount of damages will be determined by a jury, based on evidence presented to the court. Your lawyer will argue that the defendant failed to perform in a manner which a reasonable person could have done in the same situation. This resulted in your injury.
Special damages are generally easy to calculate, like the cost of repairing or replace damaged property or the value of lost wages if an injury stopped you from working or caused you to use sick or vacation time. General damages, also known as pain and suffering, are more difficult to calculate. Many attorneys and insurance firms use a multiplier, such as a 1.5 to 5 factor to calculate general damages. Severe injuries will generally result in greater general damages than those resulting from minor or temporary injuries.
Mediation
Mediation isn't required in every case of injury. However it can be utilized as a way to settle a dispute and avoid having a jury or judge decide on the outcome. You can discuss your concerns during the mediation with a third party neutral who is referred to as mediator.
The mediator will ask questions to determine how much you would like to settle and what your expectations are. Then, the two parties will sit down with the mediator. Then, you'll alternate between counteroffers and injured offers until you find a solution.

Trial
While the majority of injuries are settled out of court, your attorney might decide that trial is necessary. This will depend on your personal circumstances, your evidence, and the settlement offer from the defendant's insurer.
During the trial, your lawyer will present a case to peers to the jury. The jury is responsible for determining if the defendant was negligent, and should they be awarded compensation you'll receive to pay for your injuries, expenses and financial losses.
During the trial, your attorney will use evidence to prove that the negligence of the defendant was responsible for your injuries and you are entitled to financial damages to cover the costs and losses. The defense will make use of evidence to defend itself against your accusations, and also to prevent them from having to pay any amount. After both sides have given their closing arguments and the jury has a chance to deliberate. The verdict, delivered by jurors or judges in a bench trial will decide if the defendant was negligent, and if so, the amount of financial damages you are entitled to.
