The Chicago slip and fall accident lawyers at Briskman Briskman & Greenberg have outlined the five-step process of filing a slip and fall lawsuit in Illinois.
1. The first thing to do after suffering a slip and fall accident is to get medical attention. See a doctor even if you believe your injuries are not serious.
2. Hire a personal injury attorney to represent you. Be sure to ask questions and have supporting documentation prepared.
3. Begin pretrial preparations. Your attorney will determine the value of your claim and negotiate on your behalf.
4. File a lawsuit. The pretrial process consists of three phases including complaint and answer, discovery and motions.
5. Go to trial. A slip and fall accident trial consists of six phases: jury selection, opening statements, witness testimony and cross-examination, closing arguments, jury instruction and deliberation. If the jury delivers a verdict in your favor, you will be awarded damages.
