Canton Personal Injury Lawyers

Case Evaluation Following an accident, it is important to speak with an experienced injury attorney, including whether your injury is a result of someone else’s negligence, the extent and severity of your injuries, your medical costs, and your legal options. Our lawyers provide free consults and case evaluations by phone, video call or in-person. You don’t owe us anything unless we win your case, so there is no obligation.

Demand Letter A settlement demand letter outlines your case, including liability and damages (injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering). The letter is typically sent to the insurance company, or the at-fault party - or both. They will either reject the demand, make a counteroffer or accept it. Putting together a strong, persuasive demand package is critical to a successful, timely result.

Case Settles or Lawsuit is Filed Most cases settle during the negotiation process. However, because we’re dedicated to getting the best possible result, we will take their case to the next step if necessary. Oulr lawyers prep every case for trial and are ready to fight no matter what it takes.

Discovery Discovery is the legal procedure that allows both sides to share information and evidence. This process includes interrogatories, requests for documents, and depositions. After the exchange of information is complete, the court usually orders mediation.

Mediation Mediation is a dispute resolution process where a neutral third party facilitates a voluntary settlement of the case. At most personal injury mediations, you will be in a room with us and the attorney for the defendant will be in a separate room. The mediator will move between the two rooms to try to get both sides to agree on a number for settlement. Many personal injury lawsuits resolve at mediation.

Settlement or Trial If the case does not resolve with a settlement, it moves on to trial. Trials start with an opening statement. Then, each party presents evidence and gets a closing argument. After that, the jury makes the decision and determines how much to award for damages.
