Making the decision
The average person has never been involved in a lawsuit, and may never need an accident attorney. However, if you or a family member should ever suffer from a slip and fall, motorcycle accident, dog bite, or a wrongful death. Most people feel that they could never afford to hire a personal injury attorney. The most reputable law firms are paid on a “contingency” basis. This means that they do not charge a fee unless your case is successful. Once hired, your attorney will research and investigate your case, in order to completely understand how you were injured, the seriousness of your injuries, damages, and expenses.
Filing suit in court
After your attorney files your lawsuit in court; a judge will then set timeframes and deadlines for the different phases of the lawsuit process. When a case goes to trial, your attorney presents your case to the judge or jury. The party who injured you puts on their defense; and the judge or jury will decide. Sometimes the legal proceedings can continue even if the verdict is in your favor. The defense can appeal the case to a higher court to reconsider the verdict.
