A personal injury attorney can help you negotiate a settlement outside of a courtroom or represent your case at trial. Retaining an attorney early in your case can ensure that you are well within your statutory time limits for filing a claim.

Personal Injury Trial
A personal injury trial is the process by which the plaintiff (injured party) and the defendant (negligent party) and their respective attorneys can decide on a fair compensation agreement. By this point in a personal injury case both parties and their counsel will have completed extensive research into injuries and circumstances.
Steps involved in the personal injury trial include:
- File a claim in civil court
- Notify the defendant of a suit against them
- Opening statement from the plaintiffs attorney and the defense attorney
- The evidence from the plaintiffs lawyer is presented
- The evidence from the defendant lawyer is then presented
- Closing arguments by both the defendant and plaintiffs lawyers
- The verdict is then given
