Injury Litigation
Injuries litigation is a legal procedure that allows you to get compensation for your injuries and losses. Your injury attorney will build solid evidence in your case by utilizing eyewitness testimony, medical documentation testimony of the defendant, expert witness opinions.

The Complaint
Before a lawsuit is filed the person who was injured (plaintiff), must conduct an investigation prior to filing a lawsuit. This includes studying the police accident reports, conducting informal discovery and identifying potential defendants.
After the plaintiff has completed this, they can file a summons and complaint. The complaint identifies the party who is being sued. It also exposes the harm caused by the defendant's actions or inaction. It usually includes a request for compensation for the victim's medical expenses as well as lost income, suffering and pain, as well as other damages arising from their injury attorney.
The defendant has 30 days to respond, which is also referred to as an answer. In this response, the defendant is able to acknowledge or deny the allegations made in the complaint. They may also add an additional defendant from a third party or file counterclaims.

This includes depositions (also known as interrogatories) and written questions (also called interrogatories) as well as requests for documents.
