Understanding the Florida Personal Injury Litigation Process
The Orlando personal injury attorneys at The Law Office of Ronald J. Conte, P.L. are well versed in general areas of Florida law but specialize in personal injury and can help you if you have suffered from a personal injury and are interested in filing a lawsuit. We understand that as a victim of a personal injury, and if your injuries are physical in nature, you could spend a significant portion of your time visiting doctors, attending physical therapy sessions or just recovering. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will gladly explain what you can expect from the litigation process in easy to digest terms so you can focus on your recovery.
Florida Litigation Process
The following is a general idea of the way the Florida litigation process works:
• Your personal injury attorney writes and files formal complaint.
• Wait for defendant to respond. If defendant fails to respond the judge may issue a default judgment.
• Each side share important documents related to the case with each other.
• Your personal injury attorney may attempt to reach a settlement.
• The case will end up in trial if parties are unable to reach a settlement agreement.
• A judge or jury will reach a decision in the case.
• Either side may file an appeal after the trial of the case.
Generally speaking, if the monetary component of the lawsuit is rather small there is a good chance your attorney will be able to settle out of court. Some lawsuits get held up for months or years depending on the complexity of your case, whether witnesses are required or if there are other extenuating circumstances.
