San Francisco Car Accident Lawsuits

As soon after your car accident you should make an appointment and speak with a personal injury attorney who has prior car accident litigation experience. After sharing the details of your accident and related injuries your attorney will explain the process of filing a lawsuit which includes the following steps:

• Filing your complaint - initial document that starts the legal ball rolling.
• Uncovering the facts - also called the discovery process whereby each side shares their paperwork and information with the other.
• Settlement - in this step both sides attempt to agree on a money amount in exchange for not following through with the lawsuit and for relinquishing any plans to sue in the future for this particular personal injury. A settlement can also be reached with an insurance company.
• Trial - case evidence is reviewed by a jury whereby they make a decision whether the plaintiff is liable.
• Receiving damages - although the jury may have decided the case in your favor you may not be able to immediately collect any monies from the plaintiff. Your attorney will plan a legal strategy to address this if it occurs.
• Appeal - this process allows you to submit your case to a higher court if you feel a legal error has been made.

Although there doesn't seem to be many steps involved in this process, there are always obstacles, challenges and exceptions. That is why having a competent car accident attorney on your side could be extremely helpful.
