For those who have suffered a personal injury, there is likely physical pain, not to mention fear and uncertainty about the future. The last thing you likely want to do is go to court to fight for your rights as a personal injury victim. Fortunately, filing a personal injury lawsuit does not necessarily mean you will need to go to court.

According to auto accident attorney Jesse Tanksley of the Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys, “Most cases are resolved before having to present evidence to a jury.” Tanksley went on to explain the following steps:

1. Your attorney will attempt to negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.

2. If the negotiations are unsuccessful, your lawsuit will be filed.

3. After the lawsuit is filed, the Discovery process follows. The process is an opportunity for both sides to obtain information through:

  • Depositions
  • Written Discovery
  • Subpoena(s) for Information

4. Mediation is another opportunity for the parties to resolve matters, although negotiations may continue to be made throughout the process.

5. If none of the above resolves matters, the case will go to court, although this is less common.
