How a California Personal Injury Claim Works
A personal injury claim commonly begins with an investigation of responsibility, insurance coverage, injuries, treatment, and losses. The parties may exchange records and negotiate, but filing a lawsuit may be necessary to preserve a deadline or resolve a dispute. A lawsuit can involve pleadings, discovery, motions, expert work, settlement discussions, and trial. Not every matter follows the same path, and contacting a lawyer does not guarantee that a claim will be accepted or succeed.
