The first step is to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can
evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and advise you on the best course of
action.
Once you hire an attorney, they will conduct a thorough investigation of the
accident, gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical
records, and any other relevant documents.
If negotiations with the responsible party's insurance company fail, your attorney
may file a lawsuit.
During the discovery phase, both sides exchange information and evidence relevant to
the case, such as witness statements, medical records, and expert reports.
Before trial, the parties may engage in settlement negotiations to try to reach a
mutually acceptable agreement.
If settlement negotiations fail, the case will go to trial, where a judge or jury
will hear the evidence and decide the outcome.
If one party disagrees with the outcome of the trial, they may file an appeal to a
higher court.
