An Experienced San Antonio Injury Lawyer with You Every Step of the Way

Whether your claim is resolved through a settlement agreement or goes to trial, our experienced attorneys have the knowledge and resources to put you in the best position to secure maximum compensation. Here are the steps to expect as you continue through the personal injury claims process.
- Initial Consultation: When you contact Thomas J. Henry Law, the first thing we will do is put you in touch with a licensed personal injury attorney who will review your claim. Initial consultations with Thomas J. Henry Law are always FREE and are meant to help you understand the claims process and the legal options available to you. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and power to make an informed decision on how best to pursue your claim. If you choose to hire our firm to represent you, your lawyer will take immediate actions to secure evidence and get your claim moving.
- Initial Petition or Complaint: Once your attorney has gathered the basic facts of your case, he or she will file a petition with the appropriate court. This petition will include information on the accident or injury you suffered, how that accident or injury occurred, and the damages you have suffered as a result of your accident or injury. The petition will also name you as a Plaintiff as well as name the person, people, or entities believed to be responsible for your accident or injury as Defendants.
- Serve Notice to the Appropriate Parties: Once the initial petition is received by the court, the next step is to notify or “serve” the defendant or defendants. This process involves physically delivering a copy of the complaint to the appropriate parties in a way that can be verified, ensuring the defendant or defendants cannot later claim they were unaware of the lawsuit. This is an essential step of the claims process and requires accuracy and attention to detail. Further, if your complaint names multiple defendants, each defendant will need to be served individually even if they share a residence.
- Defendant Response: Once a defendant is served, they are allotted a short period to find and hire an attorney. If insurance applies to your case (i.e. if you were involved in a car accident), the defendant is required to notify the insurance company. In this kind of case, the insurer will actually provide an attorney to the defendant if they have not already hired one. The defendant will also have the opportunity to respond to your initial petition in the form of a Defendant’s Response. Failure to provide a response may result in you being awarded a default judgment, winning your case then and there.
- Discovery: Discovery is a time in which both your attorney and the defense will exchange evidence and witness information. Your San Antonio persona injury attorney may exchange medical records, police reports, communications with insurers, and witness statements. During this time, they may also issue a request for admission from the defendant to resolve your case and conduct depositions as they build your claim.
- Pre-Trial and Settlement Negotiations: After the discovery phase, your claim will enter the pre-trial phase. This is where settlement negotiations really pick up and is the point in the process in which most cases are resolved, either through a settlement agreement, arbitration, or mediation.
- Trial and Verdict: If an appropriate settlement cannot be agreed upon, your case will move to trial. Personal injury trials can be conducted in front of a judge or in front of a jury. This is where you really need an attorney with courtroom experience and confidence in presenting your case. The attorneys at Thomas J. Henry Law have decades of litigation experience and have argued countless cases in courtrooms throughout the nation. We have built a reputation of achieving record-breaking verdicts in judge and jury trials and have dedicated trial staff whose sole purpose is to help your attorney prove your claim to compensation.
