If you have decided to file a lawsuit for your personal injury gaining a complete understanding of the process before it begins is a good idea. Our Lakeland and Orlando personal injury attorneys at David & Philpot, P.L. are fluent in Florida personal injury law and would be able to easily explain the process to you. Some points regarding the litigation process we would discuss with you would include:
- Filing the complaint which summarizes your case against the defendant and includes the amount of compensation you are seeking
- Discovery process – collection of pertinent information for your case such as answers to interrogations, sharing documents with the opposing side, depositions which are answers to questions posed by an attorney
- Filing a motion if we need an answer from the court on a specific detail of your case
- Settlement – an attempt to reach a damage amount satisfactory to the plaintiff if they promise not to continue the lawsuit or to do so in the future
- The trial
- Judgment – this is the decision from the trial
- Appeal – if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your trial you may file an appeal which brings your case before a higher court
As you can see there are many steps involved in litigating a personal injury case and there are many opportunities for the direction of your lawsuit to veer off course and go in an entirely different direction.
