What to Expect When Filing an Injury Lawsuit in New Hampshire

Initial Evaluation: At your initial consultation, your attorney will evaluate your case and advise you on whether or not it is worth it to pursue legal action. If they find that filing a lawsuit and going through with litigation is the best course of action, they will recommend the next step to take.

Negotiations: Many injury cases can be settled without going to court. Your lawyer will negotiate with the other party and their attorney to determine whether you can reach a satisfactory conclusion to your lawsuit without having to enter into the litigation process. If a settlement can not be reached, your lawsuit will go to court.

Court Proceedings: If your lawsuit goes to court, your attorney will represent you and present evidence on your behalf to prove your claim to a jury. After arguing your case, the jury will deliberate and deliver a verdict regarding the compensation you are entitled to receive.

Settlement: If the verdict is in your favor, your attorney will help you decide the best way to receive compensation. Depending on the circumstances, your attorney may advise you to take a lump sum or set up an installment plan.

Because every case and client is different, the process your lawsuit takes may vary. If you have questions or concerns, you should consult your attorney and have them advise you further.
