At our law office, if you retain our Santa Ana and Anaheim personal injury attorney to represent you, our attorney will ask you detailed facts about your case and perform the following actions:
The preliminary investigation stage can take several months to complete. Upon the conclusion, our attorney will recommend either entering into a settlement negotiation with the negligent party (likely with the party’s insurance company) or filing a lawsuit.
Before filing a lawsuit in Santa Ana or Anaheim, our attorney will try to negotiate with the negligent party’s attorney or their insurance company to reach a reasonable settlement for your personal injury. Our attorney will present to the negligent party’s counsel or insurance company the physical evidence supporting your claim, such as collision or incident documents, witness statements, and expert reports. A settlement range will be determined and a “demand letter” will be sent to the insurer. The demand will detail the facts of the case, explain why the party is responsible, provide evidence supporting your position, and conclude with a demand to settle the case.
If a demand settlement is not reached, our attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf. A complaint will be filed, and the opposing party’s counsel will provide an answer. After this occurs, a formal discovery process will commence. The parties will obtain additional information from witnesses, take formal testimony, propound interrogatories, admissions, and request the production of documents. Motions will be made by counsel to convince the court to dismiss some or all of the claims made on your behalf.
Prior to going to trial, each party will try to mediate any remaining disputes and negotiate a settlement. The mediator serves as a neutral third party and helps the parties reach a mutual agreement.
A trial can occur within months to a year of the completion of discovery. Our attorneys will make sure your case is well prepared for trial. We will subpoena witnesses to appear in addition to experts to support your claim. Trial results are binding.
