We have expectations for fairness when we get injured and file an injury lawsuit, as we believe that the truth will prevail and that the other party will act in a reasonable manner in order to resolve the claim so we can all go on with our lives. That said, in the law, nothing is at is seems, and when the stakes are high such as in the case where you sustained catastrophic injuries and the other party is a major retail or corporate giant, the playing game goes from a softball pitch to a Superbowl one, where each party fights aggressively in order to prevail. In particular, the filing of different motions can be used to delay, frustrate and even financially drain you, the claimant so you can give up and accept a paltry offer.

These procedural legal processes are legitimate, but they are often used in a bad faith manner as an underhanded tactics in a passive aggressive manner which can exhaust even those of us with the patience of a saint. These unethical tactics do nothing but pervert the justice system and require the wits and experience of an experienced law firm such as McCready Law in order to force the defense team to do the right thing so you are comprehensively compensated and are able to start your new life with the case just but a distant memory – read on to find out just exactly how we do this.

How Motions are Used to Subvert the Personal Injury Lawsuit Process

Ideally, good-faith litigation is what moves claims forward and resolves them in a timely manner. However, the real world is filled with Machiavellian attorneys who use the pre-trial phase as a strategic playground in order to win at all costs.

Here are some of the underhanded tricks often used by opposing counsel:

1. They may choose to file a sprawling, non-responsive answer which is a boilerplate response that is inundated with generic denials and baseless defenses which may see you spending money and time to find out what they are contesting in the first place
2. They may request endless, last-minute extensions where they will wait hours before a deadline to request a daily due to something as vague as scheduling conflicts knowing that doing so will add to your legal fees, frustrating you to no end.
3. They may file demonstrably frivolous motions that have no basis in fact such as motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, forcing you to spend money to have a response drafted to a motion that should never have been filed from the get-go.
4. They may engage in what is called obstructive discovery where they will refuse to produce relevant documents during the discovery phase, and offer evasive and vague answers to your questions, alleging privilege when asked to produce certain documents or data. This will then require that you file a separate motion to compel which then adds more time and cost to the proceedings.

Motion for Sanctions Under Rule 11 – Your Best Friend as an Injured Claimant

Should the defense counsel use any of these strategic procedural actions, there is a solution – if we identify a pattern or bad-faith conduct, we won’t just sit back and have your time and money wasted – we shall fight back by filing a Motion for Sanctions Under Rule 11 which is a powerful document asking the court to punish the opposing counsel for their bad-faith behavior.

The basis for such a document is to state to the court that the actions of the opposing counsel are being carried out for an improper purpose such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay and even increase the cost of litigation. In order to have this motion granted, we shall create a detailed timeline on your behalf which details the manner in which the counsel abused the legal process complete with the dates and timestamps where possible.

For each of their bad-faith actions, we go over the exact details to prove why it was an abuse of process, using clear and concise legal arguments. We also detail how their actions have harmed you, our client both professionally or financially, and may even ask you to submit a declaration that highlights the emotional and financial stress they put you through thanks to their antics. Last but not least, we shall stress that the cumulative actions of the opposing counsel constitute abuse of the legal process and that the Court must take action to preserve the integrity of the litigation process and its own inalienable integrity.
