How the Injury Lawsuit Process Works
If you have been injured in an accident and want to recover damages for medical bills or lost income, you can make a claim. Many people aren't sure about the process of filing a lawsuit.
This blog post will talk about five steps that all personal injury claims must be able to pass through.
Time to File
Every state has a law that limits the amount of time you are required to bring a lawsuit following an accident. If you don't file your claim in the timeframe the claim is almost always dismissed.
After a case has been filed, the parties start a process called discovery. This involves exchanging information such as documents, witness testimony and depositions. This can take a long time depending on the complexity of the case.

These are sometimes referred to as "discovery rules" or equitable tolling, and are extremely specific to each situation. Your attorney can clarify these more in detail. Generally, these cases are faster to be resolved than other ones.
Statute of Limitations

However, there are exceptions to this rule that can effectively pause the clock in certain circumstances. For example the discovery rule allows you to file a claim in the event that you discover (or firms should have discovered with reasonable care) your injury.
In some instances, the statute of limitations may be reduced or torpedoed. For example, if the plaintiff is mentally impaired or is underage. Talk to an experienced lawyer to determine the applicable statute of limitations to your case. If you try to make a claim after the statute of limitation has expired, the court will likely dismiss your case. This could result in devastating consequences for the victim and their family.

Special damages, such as the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property or the value lost wages if an injury prevents you from working or causes you to take vacation or sick leave, are simple to determine. General damages are also called pain and suffering. They are more difficult to calculate. Many lawyers and insurance firms utilize a multiplier in estimating the amount of general damages, like a multiplier of 1.5 to 5. General damages are typically greater for serious injuries as opposed to minor or short-term injuries.
