Filing a Personal Injury Claim or Lawsuit
Accident victims and those harmed by negligence or a medical mistake are entitled to financial compensation from any person, business, or government agency that caused their harm. The injured party can file a personal injury claim or lawsuit to pursue compensation for their injuries.
Insurance Claim
Initially, the injured party will file an insurance claim seeking compensation from the responsible party's insurance company. Depending on the type of accident that led to the injury, the case might involve an automobile insurance policy, professional liability insurance policy, or homeowner's liability insurance.
Once the insurance company receives the submitted claim, a claims adjuster will investigate what happened, who is at fault, and the extent of injuries, damages, or fatalities involved. During the investigative stage, the claims adjuster will likely review medical documents and police reports to help resolve the case.
At some point, the claims adjuster will attempt to contact the injured party to ensure they make a statement. However, a personal injury lawyer serving the injured party will likely advise not making a direct statement or discussing the case with anyone.
Insurance companies and claims adjusters are not serving the victim's best interests but are working to reduce the amount of financial compensation they will pay on the case. Instead, an injury attorney can speak to the insurer on behalf of their client (the injured party) to negotiate a fair settlement.
Personal Injury Lawsuit
In some cases, insurance companies will not make a fair settlement offer, delay the offer, or deny the claim outright. At this point, a reputable Harvey personal injury lawyer working for the injured party will file a lawsuit in civil court against all defendants involved in the case.
Filing a personal injury lawsuit gives victims the power to pursue financial compensation for their damages through a legal court process. However, taking the case to trial is more complicated because the plaintiff (injured victim) must prove the defendant's intentional actions or negligence (responsible party) caused the victim harm.
It may take many more months for a personal injury lawyer to resolve the lawsuit in court due to the lengthy process that includes:
- Filing - Initially, the Harvey personal injury lawyer will file the initial documents with the proper county courthouse, ensuring that every defendant is notified of the victim's intentions.
- Discovery - Both the plaintiff and the defendant's lawyers will investigate the legal matter by gathering evidence that supports their side, using interrogatories, depositions, witness interviews, accident reconstruction, document requests, and other investigating techniques.
- Trial - The case may go to trial when neither the plaintiff's personal injury lawyer nor the defendant's law firm can settle. The court may require multiple hearings and arguing the case before a judge and jury.
- Trial completion - After closing arguments, the judge will dismiss the jury to determine a verdict that could rule in favor of the injured victim.
- Post-verdict process - At the trial's conclusion, the losing side could file an appeal to reverse the juror's decision that could lead to a new trial or a follow-up negotiated settlement between parties.
