Although most personal injury cases can easily be resolved with an aggressive legal approach and a cooperative insurance company, success without litigation isn’t always the case.
At Bober Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers are always prepared to fight for our client’s cases no matter what. Like we’ve said before, we don’t practice gimmicks, just the law. So, when the law requires a personal injury case to lead to a lawsuit, you can bet that our lawyers are ready.
What is Litigation in a Personal Injury Case?
When your personal injury expenses require compensation that goes beyond what an insurance company deems affordable, they will try to fight the claim. In these situations, you should never roll over and accept a penny less than what your claim is worth.
Trust a Dallas personal injury lawyer to take your case to litigation and ensure that you and your family are properly compensated for the aftermath of your accident and sustained injuries.
Why Would You Want to Sue?
Most people don’t naturally want to sue an insurance company or another driver. However, an injury sustained in a car accident could have life-altering consequences that impact both you and your family.
If you are unable to work, have to play catch up on hospital bills, or a death in your family occurred because of the accident, a lawsuit may be the best way to gain the compensation your family will need to physically move on from the incident and heal.
Your family can sue for a number of reasons, some of which include:
- Physical pain sustained from the accident
- Emotional trauma (i.e. depression, anxiety, frustration)
- The mental inability to enjoy living life after the accident
What to Expect from Personal Injury Litigation
Although a personal injury lawsuit can extend beyond physical injuries, you will need a team of lawyers that understand how to navigate the difficulties of proving all angles of personal injuries to the courts.
Expect your personal injury lawsuit to travel down the standard path of a civil case:
Pleadings
Each party involved with the case will tell their side of the story. This usually begins with you, the victim of the incident filing a complaint with the courts. The complaint is then delivered to the defending party, who then has a specified amount of time to respond with their point of view in the case.
Discovery
The discovery process of your personal injury case is what will always take the longest. During this process, not only will each party’s lawyers ask for specific information regarding the accident, but experts could be called in to help either side of the case, or depositions are enforced, making witnesses offer statements under oath.
Once all information is gathered and the parties are still unable to reach an agreement, the case will typically proceed to court where evidence is presented to a judge who makes the final decision in the outcome of a lawsuit.

Litigation is a taxing process that can take between one and five years if both parties are willing enough to fight. However, with the Bober Law Firm on your side, we promise to use the extent of our legal experience to ensure that an agreement is reached before your litigation becomes an even bigger stressor in your life.
