What Happens When Your Attorney Files a Lawsuit?

**Lawsuit Filed:** Your attorney is gearing up for a legal battle to ensure you receive the justice and compensation you rightfully deserve. Your attorney will file the lawsuit, send a copy to the insurance company to let them know what’s coming. Then, your attorney will serve the lawsuit on the Defendant. If we don’t get a settlement offer then, we aggressively pursue discovery and depositions. Once those are complete, we immediately request a trial date to get the insurance company to cough up a settlement offer you deserve.

**Discovery Process:** Get ready for a deep dive into the discovery process. Your attorney will exchange vital documents and information with the other party, including medical records, evidence of lost wages, and details about property damages.

Then we do depositions, where all parties are questioned under oath. This should prompt a settlement offer from the other side. If not, we immediately request a trial date to get the insurance company to cough up a settlement offer you deserve.

**Depositions:** Don’t fret about the deposition. Your attorney will guide you through this session where you are questioned about the accident. You will be fully prepared to answer questions. Once complete, this marks a significant step in your case and should prompt a settlement offer.

**Preparing for Trial:** Your attorney will leave no stone unturned in preparing your case for trial. While most cases settle beforehand, your attorney will be fully prepared just in case the need arises.

Settlement Still Possible: Even with the lawsuit underway, the possibility of a settlement remains on the table. Rest assured, any settlement offer will be thoroughly discussed with you. Your attorney is fully invested in your success because they only get paid if you do.
