The Anatomy of a Personal Injury Case

If you've been in an accident, it can feel like the world is spinning out of control. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, it may be difficult to know where to turn and what steps to take next. At Averill & Reaney, we understand the overwhelming nature of such situations and are here to provide clarity and support throughout the process.

Immediate Aftermath: Many people feel disoriented immediately following an accident, but it’s important to regain focus. Seeking medical attention should be your top priority ― not only to address any injuries, but also to document them effectively. This documentation can form a crucial part of your case by attributing your injuries to the accident.

Legal Assistance: After an accident, you may need guidance from experienced attorneys. This is where Averill & Reaney comes in. Our team specializes in personal injury cases and can provide the expertise you need to pursue your claim successfully. Our attorneys will guide you through the claims process, address your concerns, and ensure you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Selecting representation is a significant decision, and it's imperative that you feel a sense of trust, mutual respect, and comfort with your legal team.

Thorough Investigation: Once you've secured legal representation, our attorneys will conduct a comprehensive investigation into your case. They will gather evidence, review medical records, and interview witnesses to build a strong foundation for your claim.

Settlement Negotiation: The next step is negotiating. This is when the parties have a structured discussion in an attempt to resolve their dispute. In many cases, negotiating a settlement is favorable because injured parties are able to avoid the hassle, cost, and stress of trial. The goal is to maximize your compensation while minimizing the stress and uncertainty of the legal process.

Trial Proceedings: If a settlement cannot be reached, your case will proceed to trial. During this phase, both sides present their arguments and evidence to a judge or jury, and witnesses and experts will provide testimony to support your claim.

Verdict and Resolution: Following the trial, a verdict will be rendered. If the defendant is found liable for your injuries, they may be ordered to pay damages to compensate you for your losses.
