What Can You Expect With Your Florida Personal Injury Case?

PIClaim

People suffer injuries in many ways. However, often people suffer injuries because of other people’s negligence. Negligence usually consists of actions, but it can also consist of omissions. In Florida, after a person suffers severe injuries because of another person’s negligence, they can file a legal claim against the negligent party and recover compensation. Such a claim is known as a personal injury claim. For instance, after suffering severe injuries in a Florida car accident because of another driver’s negligence, you can file a personal injury claim against the negligent driver and recover compensation. Usually, a personal injury claim involves determining what occurred and why and assigning liability to the party (or sometimes, parties) responsible for the injury.

If it is your first time suffering injuries due to another person’s negligence, you may not know what to expect with your personal injury case. Below, we discuss what you can expect with your Florida personal injury case.

Consultation With a Personal Injury Attorney

After seeking medical attention for your injuries, you’ll want to contact a qualified personal injury attorney who can help you with your case and schedule a consultation. In Florida, consultations with personal injury attorneys are typically free of charge.

During your initial consultation, the attorney will listen to what you have to say and ask any necessary questions. So prepare your narrative beforehand and for the questions that an attorney might ask you. Also, during your initial consultation, the lawyer will guide you regarding your case.

Investigations

After you have hired a personal injury attorney, you can expect them to investigate your case’s specifics. This will generally include obtaining different pieces of evidence relevant to your claim. Some of the evidence your attorney may gather during the investigation process include police reports, medical files, video footage, expert evidence, and documents relating to income loss. Usually, investigations are meant to uncover what happened and how the incident and your injuries have impacted your life.

With the information gathered during the investigation process, your attorney can draft a settlement proposal in an attempt to try and settle your case out of court.

Going to Court

If your personal injury case is not settled out of court for whatever reason, you might need to proceed to court. If a lawsuit is filed, you may be involved in answering questions and providing information to the defense side. This process is known as discovery. If a lawsuit is filed, there might be a formal question-and-answer session under oath called a deposition. It is crucial that you prepare adequately for your deposition with the help of your attorney.

Most personal injury cases are resolved before they get to trial, but you should be prepared for the possibility of your case going to trial. However, if you have an attorney on your side, they will guide you on what to expect and the steps to take to get a positive outcome from your case.
