UNDERSTANDING THE PERSONAL INJURY PROCESS
When seeking justice for a personal injury case, it's essential to feel confident in the legal team representing you. At Meyers & Flowers, we bring extensive experience to the table, having successfully handled hundreds of personal injury cases in St. Charles. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process we’ll guide you through:
Initial Consultation
Our journey together begins with a consultation. We’ll discuss the details of your case and outline a strategy tailored to your situation. We’ll also explore the types of compensation you may be entitled to, setting you on the path to recovery.
DOCUMENT FILING
The first formal step is filing the necessary legal documents to initiate your case. Rest assured, we’ll handle this process for you.
DISCOVERY
During discovery, both sides exchange evidence. We’ll gather crucial documents, question the other party, and build a strong case on your behalf.
MOTIONS AND HEARINGS
Before trial, each side may file motions and request hearings to influence the case’s direction. This might involve contesting the admissibility of evidence or seeking to dismiss the case due to lack of evidence.
NEGOTIATIONS
Most cases involve settlement discussions before trial. The case may be resolved without court proceedings if an agreement is reached. If not, we will move forward with the trial.
TRIAL
In court, we’ll passionately present your case to prove the defendant’s liability and secure the compensation you deserve.
COLLECTIONS AND APPEALS
We will collect the awarded compensation once a settlement or verdict is reached. If the defendant appeals or files post-trial motions, we’ll continue representing you and fighting for a favorable outcome.
