What Are the Steps Involved in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. At Fadduol Cluff Hardy & Conaway P.C., we understand the challenges you face and are here to guide you through every step of the legal process.

1. Preserving Evidence and Building Your Case

The first step in any personal injury lawsuit is ensuring that critical evidence is collected and preserved. This evidence is key to proving your claim, whether through accident reports, witness statements, or medical records. Strong evidence helps convince the insurance company to settle fairly—and prepares your case for trial if necessary.

2. Negotiating with the Insurance Company

Before taking legal action, we negotiate aggressively with the insurance company. Because we know your case inside and out, we can fight from a position of strength to maximize your compensation. Our goal is always to reach a fair settlement without unnecessary delays.

3. Filing a Lawsuit and Entering Discovery

If negotiations don’t lead to fair compensation, we file a lawsuit and enter the discovery phase. This is where we take depositions, send subpoenas, and gather the testimony and documents needed to prove your case. Our legal team ensures you’re well-prepared and comfortable throughout the process.

4. Mediation and Trial

Before trial, we attempt to resolve your case through mediation. If that doesn’t work, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. Our attorneys have secured multi-million-dollar verdicts for our clients and are ready to do the same for you.
