Steps in a Pittsburgh auto accident lawsuit
When you retain the services of Tarasi & Tarasi, P.C., you are no longer alone in fighting your legal battle. Here is how we set up your Pittsburgh auto accident lawsuit to make it successful:
- Initial consultation: First, we meet with you in a free initial consultation. This is where we ask you about the general circumstances of your case, to determine whether enough evidence exists to pursue it. If we feel that there is enough evidence of the right type and amount, we proceed to the next step.
- Evidence collection: The next step is evidence collection. When we take on your Pittsburgh auto accident lawsuit, we prepare as if we are going to trial. Although we will always attempt to settle the matter out of court, first, in order to minimize your stress, we consider the potential need for litigation in every case. That way, no matter what happens, we have taken every action needed to secure a satisfactory outcome. We will ask that you bring in any and all documentation that helps to support your case. This documentation can consist of accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident or injuries, medical records, treatment plans, and communications that you have had with others about the case, including discussions with insurance companies.
- Discovery: Then, we meet with your opponents and their attorneys in a legal process known as discovery. Discovery means that each side uncovers and reveals the evidence it gathered for your Pittsburgh automobile accident lawsuit, and decides what to do about it. Your opponent may offer you a settlement, or may decide to take his or her chances in court.
When it comes to a court battle, Tarasi & Tarasi, P.C. will present the evidence we have collected, and fight vigorously to defend your interests. Once both sides have been heard, the judge or jury hands down a verdict—hopefully one that goes in your favor. However, if it does not, we can consider appealing the decision in your Pittsburgh car accident lawsuit. Whatever the initial outcome, we are committed to getting you the justice you deserve.
