What Does It Take To Get A Personal Injury Case To Trial?

Before a case can even go to trial there has to be an agreement between the client and the attorney that a lawsuit should be filed. There are a number of factors that can help determine whether filing a lawsuit is necessary such as how big the case is, how bad the damages or injuries are and/or how good the liability coverage is.

If a lawsuit is filed then the discovery phase begins. The discovery phase is where each party gets to take depositions and ask questions of the other side to gather documents and physical evidence.

The parties will ask the court for a trial date. Depending on where the case is filed, will determine the trial date. It could take a few months or over a year to get a trial date. There are often times where the trial date gets pushed back to the trial docket and changes in the judge’s calendar.
