INJURY LAWSUIT
6
A personal injury lawsuit begins when a plaintiff files a
complaint against another person (defendant).01
The first step is to file a complaint. It provides details of both
parties and the nature of the injury. In the end, it will have a
prayer for relief that tells what the court needs to do (e.g., provide
compensation to cope with the debilitating injury
02
The next step is discovery. In this step, evidence and documents for
both parties are disclosed to each other. This step helps to prepare for
the case. Examples include depositions and interrogatories. They help
the party to request and collect information from the other party
03
The third step would be pre-trial negotiations. A skilled Chicago
personal injury attorney will try to see if there is any way the other
party will settle out of court. This will help prevent the time and
financial loss in case the suit goes through a trial.
04
The last step would be to undergo trial and complete all
proceedings in front of a jury so that you can be awarded
compensation if your case holds merit.
05
The aim should be to maximize compensation in case of personal injury. This
can be done when you have a capable and competent Chicago personal injury
attorney working on your case. He will gather all evidence and do strong
paperwork that will help the judge to award compensation in your favor.
