Behind the Scenes of a Personal Injury Claim

When you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, it can feel like you're suddenly thrust into a world of confusion and complexity. At Gunn Law Group, P.A., we understand the stress this causes, and we're here to guide you through the process confidently and persuasively. We're not just Florida trial lawyers - we're your allies in the legal battle for justice.

A personal injury claim can seem daunting, but understanding the process can help alleviate some of the anxiety. So, let's pull back the curtain and take a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you file a personal injury claim in Florida.

Step One: The Complaint

It all begins with the 'complaint', an official notice of legal action sent to the defendant. This is a critical step because it sets the tone for your entire case. It's not just about stating the facts; it's about presenting them in a way that establishes your position powerfully and persuasively.

Step Two: Discovery and Depositions

Once the suit is filed, the discovery phase begins. Here, both sides gather evidence, exchange information, and prepare for trial. Depositions, or sworn statements, are taken from parties involved and witnesses. This stage is vital in building a strong case and requires meticulous attention to detail.

Step Three: Expert Consultations

Often, expert consultations become necessary to support your claim. Whether it's a medical professional attesting to your injuries or an accident reconstruction expert testifying about the cause of the incident, these individuals can provide crucial insights that substantiate your case.

Step Four: Negotiation and Settlement

In Florida, personal injury claims can often be settled through negotiation before a trial becomes necessary. Our experienced attorneys know how to leverage the evidence and expert testimony to negotiate a fair and just settlement.

Step Five: Going to Trial

If a settlement can't be reached, the case goes to trial. Here, your lawyer will present your case persuasively, using strong language, emotional appeal, and rhetorical questions to convince the jury of the defendant's negligence and your rightful claim to compensation.
