Understanding the Personal Injury Process

Each personal injury case is unique, but here’s a general timeline of what to expect:

Step 1: Building Your Case

We start by gathering key information to establish:

• Who is at fault – proving the other party’s responsibility for the accident.
• Your injuries and damages – demonstrating how the accident has impacted your physical and emotional well-being.

Step 2: Discovery Phase (If a Lawsuit Is Filed)

If your case goes to court, both sides will exchange information during the discovery phase. You may need to:

• Answer legal questions (interrogatories) with your attorney’s guidance.
• Provide sworn testimony in a deposition.
• Attend pretrial hearings to discuss your case.

Step 3: Trial Preparation & Resolution

If your case proceeds to trial, you will receive several months’ notice. Our team will work closely with you to ensure you are fully prepared.

• Most cases settle before trial, but we always prepare as if we are going to court.
• If your case goes to trial, we will guide you through every step of the process.

Step 4: After Your Settlement

Once your case is resolved, here’s what happens:

• You’ll sign a Release of All Claims, confirming that you cannot pursue further legal action against the defendant.
• The insurance company has 30 days to issue the settlement check.
• You’ll receive your final settlement payment along with a statement explaining all disbursements.

Good News: Most personal injury settlements are tax-free under federal law.

At Tremont Sheldon P.C., we support you from day one until the final step of your case.

Ways We Resolve Your Case

Many clients ask us: How will my case be resolved?

While every case is different, there are three primary ways we help clients reach a resolution:

1. Settlement Negotiations

Will my case settle before going to court?

• We work diligently to secure the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
• If the insurance company does not offer a fair settlement, we prepare for the next steps, which may include trial or other solutions. We always prepare for trial and are ready to represent you and your case in the best way possible.

2. Mediation & Arbitration

What are other ways to resolve personal injury cases?

• Mediation: A neutral mediator helps both sides negotiate a fair resolution. This is a non-binding process, meaning you do not have to accept the outcome.
• Arbitration: A neutral arbitrator hears the case and makes a binding decision (similar to a judge). This process is often quicker and less stressful than a full trial.

3. Going to Trial

What happens if my case goes to trial?

• If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we will present your case in court.
• A judge or jury will hear the evidence and determine the compensation you should receive.
• Our attorneys will present your case clearly and effectively, ensuring that your story is heard and supported by evidence.

How long does a trial take?

• The trial process itself may take several days or weeks, depending on the complexity of your case.
• You will receive plenty of notice so you can prepare.

Will I have to testify?

• In many cases, yes. We will fully prepare you for this, ensuring you feel confident and ready.
• You will have the chance to explain, in your own words, how the accident has affected your life.
