What are the steps in a lawsuit?

If your lawsuit must go to court, you can expect the following:

• Prior to your court date, you will submit a deposition, or sworn statement, in front of a court reporter. The defendant’s attorney will then question you about the reported damages and the specifics regarding the accident.
• After deposition, there is discovery. Discovery is the exchange of documents that are vital to each side’s case.
• Medical examinations and doctor’s orders are usually asked to be submitted during discovery
• Each side then meets to present their case at a hearing

A qualified attorney can greatly increase your chances of securing the compensation you deserve. For more information about hiring a lawyer, contact the Iowa personal injury lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. by calling 877-327-2600 today.
