Before you receive a judgment on your claim, here are the steps the Oklahoma litigation process will follow.
Attorney Consultation
After consulting with your doctor and determining the nature of the injuries you have sustained, you can begin the litigation process by consulting a construction accident attorney and receiving an evaluation of your case. Your attorney will examine your claim and determine the best way to proceed with your litigation claim as well as help you determine responsibility and receive compensation.
Litigation Options
Depending on the circumstances of your claim, your attorney will help you determine the best way to litigate your case. An accident attorney may recommend entering into arbitration or mediation rather than filing a lawsuit in an attempt to resolve your claim without bringing the matter to court.
Out-of-Court Negotiations
If you and your attorney determine that filing a lawsuit is in your best interests, your lawyer will first attempt to resolve the matter through an out of court settlement. Your construction accident attorney will negotiate with the defendant’s attorney to see if a reasonable settlement can be reached.
Court Hearing
If an out of court settlement is unable to be reached your claim will enter into the trial phase of the litigation process. At trial your attorney will present the facts of your claim, and a trial judge or a jury will make judgment about who is responsible for your accident and how much compensation you should receive.
If you have been involved and injured in a construction accident, whether as an employee or a bystander, an accident attorney can advise you on how to proceed through the litigation process and help you receive compensation.
