Personal Injury Cases
A personal injury case is one where an individual
was injured by another’s wrongful acts or
negligent behaviour.
Each injury case is different and an important step
is determining the fault both parties may had in the
accident.

The First Steps After Get Injured
in an Accident
The first step after being injured in an accident is
to seek adequate medical care. This will be
important in the development of the case as you
will use medical records to prove the degree of
the injuries.
Accidents that involve significant damages are
best solved with the help of a lawyer. Choosing
a personal injury attorney is the second step in
a personal injury case.

4. 4
Consultation with a Personal Injury
Attorney
The initial consultation with your personal
injury lawyer will include a review of the
accident, the medical treatment you received and
even your medical history.
It is important to give your lawyer all the available
information to aid the development of the case.

The First Steps for Court Litigation
After the attorney determines that a personal
injury case exists and the plaintiff is entitled to a
certain amount of damages, he will file a
personal injury complaint.
This document describes in detail the case and
the fault of the defendant. After the complaint is
filed, it is served to the defendant.

6. 6
The Discovery Process
The discovery process is a pre-trial litigation
phase when both parties present their
deposition and evidence for the personal injury
case.
Depending on the particularities of the case and
the evidence that is presented, this stage can be
lengthy.

7. 7
Settlements in a Personal Injury Case
After the discovery phase, the lawyers can negotiate
the settlement before the case is scheduled for a trial.
This can happen in many cases if the parties do not
wish to go through a lengthy trial.
Alternative dispute resolution methods, like mediation,
can be used to negotiate the settlement.

The Personal Injury Trial >>
A personal injury trial can be judged solely in
front of a judge and a jury. If this is the case, one
of the first steps of the trial is to select the jurors.
The opening statements are the first two
presentations of the case made both by the
plaintiff’s attorney and the defendant’s attorney.

9. 9
>> The Personal Injury Trial
Both parties are entitled to bring eyewitnesses to
support their case. Witness testimony is another
step in a personal injury trial, followed by cross-
examination.
The plaintiff and the defendant have the right to
make a final closing argument, after which the
jury will deliberate and pronounce a verdict.
