The Ins and Outs of Your Texas Personal Injury Claim (Part B)

Austin personal injury attorney and Texas accident lawyer David Todd

Once you've committed to filing a Texas personal injury claim with a Travis County, Texas injury attorney by your side you're ready to begin the full lawsuit process.

Your attorney will give you an in-depth look of an outline of a lawsuit before you begin so you have a solid understanding of what is to come. The course of this process will run from writing a demand letter to trial and even possible compensation collection.

Overview of a Texas Personal Injury Claim

The first order of business will be for you to send a demand letter to the party whom you believe is responsible for the accident (or in other words, at fault). This demand letter will go to the opposite party's insurance company and explain why you believe you're entitled to compensation.

Once a formal lawsuit has been filed, each side will have an opportunity to get information from one another regarding the accident. In some cases you may be asked to give a sworn testimony to have on file. This period of time is also known as discovery.

It's possible for your Travis County, Texas, injury attorney to take your lawsuit to court if the other party cannot reach a negotiated settlement for your injuries and damages. In the event of going to trial the case will be presented before a judge or a jury and a verdict will be made then and there.

Once the court has made a decision, either side is eligible to appeal the decision if he or she believes there was significant legal error. By appealing you'll be requesting to take the case to a higher court. For example, you may appeal if you believe the decision was swayed by a piece of evidence that was discarded.

Lastly, the final act of the lawsuit process is collection. The plaintiff will collect damages compensation that has been awarded to them by the court from the defendant.
