4 Tips for the Discovery Phase of Your Carroll County, Georgia Personal Injury Case

During the Atlanta claims process, your personal injury case will reach the discovery phase after much paperwork has been filed. During this phase, your Carroll County, Georgia attorney and the other side will exchange information about the Georgia accident that led to your injuries. The purpose is to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

The discovery phase may consist of written questions, depositions or a list of statements to be confirmed (admitted) or denied. Keep in mind the following 4 tips in regards to the discovery phase: 

• Everything pertaining to the accident will be revealed during the discovery phase.
• Your attorney will be better prepared to handle your case if you are completely honest about any facts that will arise during the discovery phase, even if they are embarrassing to share.
• The discovery phase can be expensive, frustrating and intrusive. Be prepared to come under scrutiny.
• If you lie about anything and get caught, your credibility and your case will be damaged. 

After the discovery phase, your attorney may be able to negotiate a fair settlement that will address your current and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost earnings and incidental expenses related to the accident. If a fair settlement can't be reached, the next step will be a jury trial. To learn more about the Atlanta claims process, please visit our article library.
