When you have been seriously injured, it can seem like your life is in shambles. So why complicate it more by getting involved in litigation? People assume that prosecuting a lawsuit will be a time-consuming hassle for them. With Traut Firm, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Initial Meeting: Typically, you meet with an attorney for 30 to 40 minutes to provide necessary information and signatures.
Filing the Lawsuit: Within two weeks, a lawsuit is filed. This early filing ensures your case will be scheduled for trial approximately one year after filing, helping to expedite the process.
Written Discovery: Two to three months after the lawsuit is filed, the defense will submit a written discovery for you to answer. This generally takes an hour or two to complete.
Deposition: A few months later, you will attend a deposition with your attorney, where you will be asked in detail about the incident and your damages. This typically lasts two to three hours.
Settlement Negotiations: Over 90% of cases are settled before the trial date. However, to maximize your settlement amount, we must litigate and prepare for trial. Lawyers who settle cases without litigation often secure a fraction of the settlement amount compared to a top trial attorney who poses the threat of a substantial jury verdict.
By following these steps, we minimize the time and effort required from you while maximizing your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve.
