Where to file personal injury lawsuits and what are the after that?

All injurious lawsuits come under the state court's jurisdiction of the country and in some cases lawsuits can be filed in federal trial courts. A Personal injury lawyer will develop a legal complaint that contains all allegations and then he will register the case in the court. When the lawyer gets legal documents (summon) from the court he will give a complaint summons and list of damages on the defendants.

After that, the defendant must submit the answer until 30 days and if he fails to submit the answer the victim will seek a default judgment against the defendant. If the defendant submitted his answer the personal injury attorney of both parties (the defendant and the victim) will start further legal proceedings. Both parties will be called to prove their point that who is at fault and what is the measure of all damages.

The personal injury lawyer will show the record i.e. copies of medical treatment bills, Damages bills, and he will also determine the total cost if the cost is reasonable. In most cases, the defendants' attorney hires experts to evaluate the nature of injury and explanation about the amount if it is reasonable or not. After that, the lawyers of both sides will interrogate with each other about the event and issues unfolded. The recorded facts and information would be transcribed and will be used for the trial.

In the trial, Judge will analyze all evidence and the report of witnesses and then he will decide who is legally responsible for the injuries. The judge will give time to both parties before taking a final decision. However, after all, discussion from both parties the judge will decide the amount of compensation a defendant needs to pay.
