Why Injury Attorneys Help Deal with Insurance Companies

What is The Process of a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Georgia?

Hiring the right attorney to handle your case:
The first step is hiring a lawyer and with the information you read above, we hope you feel confident in choosing a dedicated and compassionate attorney, like the ones at Spaulding Injury Law to help you through the process.

A complaint is filed and served
After establishing that a legitimate case exists, your attorney will file a personal injury complaint. After the complaint is filed, we will have a month or more to locate the defendant and “serve” the complaint on him or her. All this means is that we physically deliver the complaint to the defendant in a way that can be verified, ensuring the defendant cannot later claim to not know about the lawsuit.

Pre-Trial and Discovery
Discovery is a pre-trial procedure. Your attorney and the other party, through the law of civil procedure, can obtain evidence from the other party or parties by means of discovery devices such as interrogatories, requests for production of documents, requests for admissions, and depositions. The purpose of discovery is to encourage parties to reach a resolution of disputes on their own, without resort to a full trial by the court. The free flow of information between the parties to a lawsuit is intended to enable each side to better assess the case, including the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, thereby promoting a more realistic view of likely outcomes that will lead to settlement.

It's possible for a case to go to trial but most personal injury cases will end in a settlement. At any point in the process described above, the parties can settle and end the case, even before the complaint is filed.
