Preparing For Your Personal Injury Lawsuit
Knowing the steps for preparing for your personal injury lawsuit can be very important to you and your case, whether you are wondering what to do in the start, or wondering how the end of the process works.
In technical terms, a lawsuit does not officially begin until a complaint is filed in court. However, leading up to that, it isn’t actually that bad. It is a lot of confidential talking between you and your lawyer, which stays between just you two – the insurance companies are not legally allowed to interview you or ask you any questions about the case.
Once the lawsuit begins though, preparing for your personal injury lawsuit can be tedious, as it will require more work on your part than you might expect. It is at this point the insurance company can send their lawyers to ask you and your attorney questions and try to get information. Often times, this can lead to unforeseen expenses that you nor your lawyer can necessarily control.
At this point in your personal injury lawsuit, you and your attorney may have made some ground, and are able to settle the case without taking it to court, as the insurance company may have been pressured to make you a better settlement offer. If this is the case, great. If not, it may lead to a much more expensive case in court.
The decision on whether or not to proceed to trial is one that you should discuss very carefully with your attorney. The decision to invest financial resources into the case in the hopes of obtaining a larger financial recovery from the case is a decision that will require significant deliberation on your part. It will be a tough choice at times; whether to accept a settlement offer or proceed to trial and risk losing the offer totally, or securing a larger award.
