Steps in Filing a Lawsuit
The Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC team is experienced and knowledgeable in Georgia law and will work with you and for you to make sure your court case is professionally handled. We manage the entire process to keep your time commitment at a minimum. We will take the following steps for your claim and keep you up-to-date on everything affecting your case.
- Step 1: Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC will file the required complaint or petition with the office of Clerk of the Court. All civil court cases begin with this step and it is the initial requirement to sue another person or entity. Your Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC team will know where to file the complaint and will ensure all paperwork is correctly completed and delivered.
- Step 2: We will coordinate the process of serving the complaint and summons to the defendant. The complaint tells the defendant what the lawsuit is about and the summons informs him of how much time he has to respond to the complaint. We will relay any answers from the defendant and keep you informed about how we intend to handle the case moving forward.
- Step 3: Our team will handle any requests for information or any need to retrieve documents or evidence during the discovery process. This is the step where we work to learn as much about the other party as possible, and they will do the same.
- Step 4: We will attend the hearing on your behalf. You may be required to sit for a deposition (an out-of-court sworn statement) during the discovery process, and you will have the option to be present for the hearing as well. We will coordinate with any witnesses that need to participate in the hearing.
- Step 5: Our office will notify you of the court’s decision and what the process will be to obtain your payment in the case.
