Step one: Consulting and hiring an attorney. Do your research and find an attorney who provides free no-obligation consultations.
Step two: Investigating your case. Your attorney will examine the evidence, speak to witnesses, review medical records, and do other investigative work.
Step three: Pre-law negotiations and settlement. Your attorney will try to negotiate a fair out-of-court settlement agreement with the other party.
Step four: Filing a lawsuit. Your lawyer will file a lawsuit on your behalf if you cannot reach a settlement agreement.
Step five: Discovery phase. Both parties exchange information about the accident and resulting injuries via requests for documents and depositions.
Step six: Mediation phase. The judge may ask the parties to attempt to settle the claim with a neutral and experienced mediator.
Step seven: Going to trial. The case will proceed to trial if it is not resolved through settlement negotiations and mediation.
Step eight: Appeals and compensation. If there is no appeal, a check will be issued to your attorney. Your attorney will take their agreed-upon fee and give the rest to you. For details visit: https://www.jhatfieldlaw.com
