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.

This entire process can take months or even years. That’s why it’s important to have an attorney you trust on your side—that way, you know that you’re fully informed and have the best representation you could have. Our Plano, TX personal injury lawyers are here to give you the confidence you deserve when filing a claim against the party who caused you harm.

Damages Your Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You Recover

One of your main concerns when you decide to file a personal injury claim is most likely how much you can recover in damages. While a claim is effective for holding the responsible party accountable for their poor decisions, they are also used to ensure that you get the financial compensation you deserve for what this accident has cost you.

There are three types of damages that you might be able to recover with the help of your lawyer. Economic, noneconomic, and punitive damages are what your lawyer will be calculating by looking at your evidence. Depending on your claim, you could have a mixture of all three, but most cases just involve the first two.

Economic damages are the physical costs that you suffered, like medical bills and lost wages. Noneconomic damages are more abstract costs, like pain and suffering. These are the two types of damages that will most likely be recovered in your case.

In more rare situations, punitive damages might also be included in your compensation. These are meant to punish the responsible party for gross negligence. When you have our Plano, TX personal injury lawyers on your side, you can rest assured that we are properly calculating what you’re owed and what kinds of damages apply to your case.
