1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Louisville personal injury attorney Aaron Whaley discusses preparing for trial in a personal injury case.&amp;nbsp; Most car wreck cases settle for many reasons.&amp;nbsp; An issue that might cause a case to go to trial is a disagreement as to how the accident happened.&amp;nbsp; Many of these can eventually settle, but some don’t.&amp;nbsp; An example is a simple “red light/green light” car accident case.&amp;nbsp; One driver thought he/she had the green light.&amp;nbsp; You lose control when a case goes to trial.&amp;nbsp; It’s often easier to reach a fair settlement when the parties are communicating.&amp;nbsp; Once the case goes to trial, it’s time to present evidence in the courtroom and the jury or judge will eventually make a decision. Another issue that might cause your case to go to trial is when the difference between the offers is too large.&amp;nbsp; It may now be worth it to pursue the case in court.&amp;nbsp; When your attorney files the lawsuit, the other party will be served with a letter informing them of the pending action.&amp;nbsp; The other party has a period of time to file an answer with the court.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The discovery phase comes next.&amp;nbsp; This is when both parties have a chance to find out information regarding the collision, the injuries and other related factors.&amp;nbsp; Written interrogatories generally come first.&amp;nbsp; Both parties submit a list of detailed, fact-finding questions.&amp;nbsp; The answers are actually signed, under oath, as being true and factually.&amp;nbsp; Now the attorneys will schedule recorded depositions, during which the attorney will ask the other party specific questions.&amp;nbsp; Many of the questions will be related to the answers submitted for the interrogatories.&amp;nbsp; Aaron Whaley will continue the discussion in Episode 6 (Preparing for Trial Part 2).
