The Stages of a Car Accident Lawsuit
2
While every car accident case is unique, most car accident lawsuits follow the same timeline.
The following is an overview of the stages in a car accident case.
3
Hiring a lawyer: This is the first step in the legal process
Hiring a lawyer: This is the first step in the legal process. Once you have hired a lawyer, he or she can help you with every aspect of the case. Making a demand: Your lawyer will send out a demand letter to the at-fault party and his or her representative.
4
Negotiation and settlement: After the demand letter is sent, your lawyer will attempt to negotiate a favorable settlement on your behalf. Filing a lawsuit: If a settlement cannot be reached between you and the at-fault party, your lawyer will then file a lawsuit with the appropriate court.
5
Fact finding and discovery: After a lawsuit has been filed, your lawyer will begin investigating the facts of the case. This may involve collecting evidence such as police reports, witness statements and medical records. Summary judgement: If your lawyer believes that the evidence you have collected supports your request for compensation, he or she will file a motion for summary judgment. If your motion for summary judgment is denied, your case will proceed to trial.
6
Trial: During trial, the jury will make the final decision about who was at fault and how much compensation should be awarded to the victim.
