Hollywood has spoiled the public with riveting legal dramas which have no basis in actuality. Personal injury lawsuits, and civil lawsuits in general can be uneventful, and full of motion filing, depositions, and settlement of cases even before they have the chance to get to trial. Pre-trial is a period in personal injury law where cases are prepared, demands sent and other legal steps taken in order to get the ball rolling. Pre-trial is a vital step when it comes to personal injury law as it lets you know where you stand exactly, and what you stand to gain with regard to compensation, as well as the power and might or lack thereof of the other party, giving you a unique vantage point you can use to effectively and strategically win your personal injury claim.

Pre-litigation refers to any legal processes that happen prior to the initiation of litigation. During this period, your attorneys will engage in discovery, which is a legal stage where we will gather all the evidence, send out subpoenas and speak with witnesses in order to create a clear picture of what really happened to cause your injuries.
We will also engage the insurance company and file a claim to recover monetary damages. Usually, insurance companies will shoot this down or offer a paltry amount, which will then open the way for negotiations, or take the case to trial.
During pre-trial litigation, we will also craft or write a demand letter that includes:
- The time, location and date of your accident
- An aggregate of your injuries
- The medical procedures you have or will require
- The damages sustained, via an itemized list
- Rationale for holding the defendant responsible for your injuries
- Rationale for asking the insurance company to pay for injuries
