An accident will bring the victims a huge degree of distress and pain in the aftermath. The effects and impact of the accident will cover the entire sphere of life ranging from emotional and physical pain to the stressful aspect of filing for compensations that would be due to you in a legal process which would be nothing but a battle of legal minds. A car accident attorney will get the process for rightful compensations due to you much simpler by taking you through the process a step at a time. Let us see some of the steps that the car accident attorney will take you through with a brief highlight of their meaning.
A Summons and Complaints documents will be the first to be prepared by your accident attorney. This will take place after the lawyer will have met with you and investigated your claims. The preparations of these documents will essentially mark the formal beginning of the lawsuit. The legal identities of the two of you as parties to the case now changes as you from then get to be identified as the ‘plaintiff’ and the offending party now assumes the legal definition of ‘defendant’.
A second step will follow which is coined in the practice as ‘Service of Process’. This is simply the process of the two teams on either side of the case exchanging the paperwork and ideally your attorney serving the defendant’s legal team with the necessary paperwork effective in the particular case.
The third will be a wait for the defendants’ response. The standard and most expected response from the defendant’s team will be a denial of all the claims you have. Do not be alarmed by such a response; it is the standard like we mentioned above.
This having taken place, the subsequent step is to get the process a notch higher to the Discoveries stage. There are absolutely no surprises for the expert accident attorneys in the process of litigation and you will be told this by your representative in the case you have. At this stage the two parties confronting each other in the legal battle will exchange documents regarding their formulated legal theories and potential witnesses in the particular case for cross reference in the whole process. The common forms of admissions are such as written questions or better known as interrogatories, request for production of documents such as witness statements, questionings done under oath and requests for admissions basically touching on certain facts about the case which may stand beyond dispute.
