Definition of a Personal Injury Lawyer

A personal injury lawyer provides legal representation to people who claim to have been physically or psychologically injured because of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of a business, person, government agency, or another entity.

Settlement and Litigation Process

When you retain a personal injury attorney to represent you, he or she will work on your behalf to try and secure the best settlement or verdict and compensation for you. Much time and effort goes into your case and may include the following:

1. After you sign a contract with your lawyer, your lawyer will begin assembling witness statements, reports, photographs and more to verify how your accident happened and figure out who was at fault.
2. Next, your lawyer will gather employment records, medical reports, bills, and any other necessary items to document your damages.
3. Solicitation of an offer from your insurance company is part of the process and, once an offer is received, it will be sent to you to review. You will discuss with your attorney potential courses of action.
4. When defendants have filed their answers, discovery begins and may include depositions of experts, witnesses, and other parties. Your lawyer will be there to direct the discovery and help you navigate the process.
5. A trial date is requested once discovery is complete.
