LawLeaf provides personal injury lawsuit funding for a variety of different types of accidents and injuries:
Steps involved in a personal injury:
A typical personal injury case begins with a letter from your attorney specifying a personal injury suit is being filed. The items may include how the injury has effected you both physically and financially. Although there are no specified time limits an attorney will typically give the other party 30 days from the time the letter was sent. This letter is designed to give the responsible party time to review the claim and make contact to negotiate settlement without taking further action. When the responsible party doesn't agree with the terms of the settlement the case will immediately be filed with the assigned court.
After a complaint is filed a defense team will be assigned by the responsible party. The defense team will usually file notions to get the case dismissed due to unwarranted or lack of evidence. Once the case has been evaluated by a judge and the personal injury claim is approved by the courts the discovery process will begin. The discovery process is when both the defense team and the plaintiff's team gather information, facts and evidence surrounding the case. This information can include:
- Police reports
- Medical records
- Witness statements
- Depositions
- Pictures
- Expert statements
- Additional costs
Once the information is gathered both parties have the legal right to request the evidence gained during the discovery process. The steps afer the discovery process may include:
- Arbitration- a process used to resolve disputes using neutral parties
- Mediation- a process "dispute resolution" designed help said parties the ability to resolve disputes without going to court. A mediator has no power to impose a solution regarding a case. The mediator and parties will usually agree on their ways to proceed.
- Trial- the attorney proceeding with a judge or jury.
- Jury Selection- If you decide to a jury hearing the judge will present a questionnaire to the jurors. Once completed both the plaintiff and defense team have the right to eliminate a certain number of jurors from the case. This selection process is typically done based upon background and answers to the questionnaire.
- Presentation of Plaintiff- the plaintiff's team will begin the trial by presenting information gained during the discovery process. During this process your attorney will talk about how the injury has effected you both physically and financially.
- Presentation of Defendant- defense team will argue why their clients shouldn't be held liable.
- Rebuttal by Plaintiff- the plaintiff will have the right to rebuttal all information presented by the defense team.
- Closing Arguments- the plaintiff will point out the important facts and issue surrounding the trial. During this time the plaintiff team will further have the right to reiterate of exactly why the defendant should be held liable all damages resulting from the accident.
- Jury Instruction- the jury will be instructed of the laws prior to deliberating.
- Jury Deliberation- the jury will meet to review the personal injury case and determine if the defendant should be liable for damages.
- Verdict- the jury or judge will announce their decision.
- Judgment- if the plaintiff gets a favorable verdict the plaintiff will find out exactly how much money they will receive.
- Appeal- depending upon the result the plaintiff and defense have the right to appeal the case. If the defense decides to appeal the case, compensation will not be paid out to the plaintiff until after the appeals process. There is always a chance during the appeals process that the case may be overturned resulting in no compensation to the plaintiff.
When determining the amount of money you may receive for a personal injury lawsuit consider the following types of compensation:
- Medical Expenses
- Ongoing Medical Expenses
