Guide to Obtaining Compensation

For Your Personal Injuries


FILING A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT

Attorney Rechenberg of Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. is an experienced personal injury lawyer. We may be able to settle your case and obtain reasonable compensation for you without the necessity of filing a lawsuit, as 90% of cases are settled without a trial. Your case may also be settled after a lawsuit is filed but before trial.

If the case cannot be settled to your satisfaction prior to filing a lawsuit, Attorney Rechenberg will prepare the proper documents to file the lawsuit and prove your case at trial.

After the lawsuit is filed, the process of gathering evidence is called Adiscovery.@ Discovery involves answering written questions known as Ainterrogatories.@ After the interrogatories are answered, the defense attorney will have the opportunity to ask you questions regarding how the accident occurred, and the injuries that you had suffered, under oath and before trial. This is called a Adeposition.@

If your case is not settled after the discovery process, the court normally will conduct a pre-trial conference to determine if the court can help the parties settle the matter. If the parties are unable to settle the case, the court will set a trial date. It can take several months, or years, for your case to go to trial.
