What Will Happen in Your Lawsuit?

What Will Happen in Your Lawsuit?

Although many people may be aware of the potential for obtaining compensation through a personal injury lawsuit, they may not realize how the process of filing a lawsuit actually works. Not all lawsuits are the same, but most tend to follow a common pattern. Knowing what comes next can help a person think more carefully about their settlement options and how to best prepare themselves for their claim. However, when it comes to preparing a case, an attorney may be able to help.

If you’ve sustained an injury because of someone else’s negligence and are looking for legal assistance, we may be able to help you with your claim. For a free consultation regarding your next steps through this process, contact a Denver personal injury attorney from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today at (303) 423-1770.

The Lawsuit Process

Most personal injury cases follow the same process as long as the defendant is insured. If a defendant doesn’t have insurance, they may be expected to work through these proceedings on their own.

Normally, the legal process occurs in the following order:

  • A claimant begins an initial negotiation with the defendant or their insurance company
  • If no initial settlement is reached, the lawsuit is officially filed
  • Both parties trade necessary case-related paperwork
  • Depositions are taken of both the claimant and defendant
  • The insurance company or defendant has the right to request an independent medical evaluation
  • Finally, the case goes to trial

At any point in time, either side may offer a settlement to end the lawsuit. If the settlement is accepted, the lawsuit will end and that claimant won’t be allowed to sue the defendant again for the same injury.
