Start your incident journal immediately and visit your doctor. These records will help us win your case.
This is where the infamous ‘you’ve been served’ quote comes from. Papers are served to the offending party. They have a choice of whether to respond to your demand.
If the offending party doesn’t respond to your demand letter, we file our suit into the court system to proceed with the legal process.
Evidence is compiled formally before trial for both parties.
This is a formal process where a third party facilitates a negotiation between both parties in an effort towards a settlement. This can close out before a trial, but in personal injury, the settlement pre-trial is often low-balled.
When we win your personal injury lawsuit, the sum of money the court decides on for your compensation is your settlement money.
In some cases, a fair agreement can be made without going to trial, also called ‘settling’ - although we do not shy away from a judge and jury to tell your story.
We will present our case in front of a judge and jury. The negligent party’s insurance legal team will defend to protect themselves from paying money out. Danny will stand fearlessly in honor of your human rights.
If for some reason the case is not ruled in our favor, we will assess our opportunities. Oftentimes the best course of action is to head back into battle with an evidence-based appeal.
Is to take care of yourself and cover your bases.
Do not speak to any opposing party about anything aside from attaining their contact and insurance information. Speak with your attorney FIRST.
Any documented statements can be used against you to diminish your recovery of damages.
Now your lawyer will file your complaint. This is the beginning of your due process.
Both you (the plaintiff) and the defendant will have your cases argued by your lawyers before a judge and jury. Key witness and applicable expert witness testimony will be heard as part of this process. It is your lawyer’s job to convey that you deserve to have damages recovered, and in most cases to also prove negligence on behalf of the defendant.
