Serve Notice to the Appropriate Parties: As soon as the initial petition is received by the appropriate court, it will be time to notify the parties involved in the lawsuit. This process is referred to as "serving" the defendant and involves physically delivering a copy of the complaint to the appropriate parties in a way that can be verified, thus ensuring that the defendant cannot later claim they were unaware of the lawsuit. If your case involves multiple defendants, each defendant will need to be notified separately even if they share a residence.Defendant Response: Once served, the defendant will have a short period to find and hire a defense attorney before his or her first court date. If insurance applies to your case, such as a car accident claim, the defendant is required by law to notify their insurer. The insurance company will appoint and pay for the defendant's lawyer if he or she has not already hired one. The defendant will also need to respond to the claims made in your initial petition in the form of a Defendant's Response. Failure to do so may result in you being awarded a default summary judgment, winning your Austin personal injury case then and there.Discovery: If your case moves beyond the defendant response stage, you will move into the discovery process. Discovery is an opportunity for your attorney and the defendant's attorney to exchange evidence and witness information. This can include medical records, corporate and insurance communications, police reports, and witness statements. Your attorney will also issue a request for admission and conducting depositions as they proceed with your claim.Pre-Trial and Settlement Negotiations: With all the facts and evidence in place, settlement negotiations will pick up. This is the phase in which most personal injury cases are resolved, either in the form of a settlement agreement or through mediation or arbitration. As they negotiate, your Austin injury attorney will also be prepping your case for trial and developing a courtroom strategy. This ensures that you will not be pressured into a lowball settlement and will be prepared to pursue your case to verdict if necessary.Trial and Verdict: If a reasonable settlement cannot be agreed upon, your case will move onto the trial phase. This is where you really need an attorney who is familiar with the entire personal injury lawsuit process. Thomas J. Henry Law has Austin injuries with extensive courtroom experience.
