What to expect if you get involved in a lawsuit

Every lawsuit is different based on the issues, the parties and the attorneys for the parties. However, there is a basic process that is common to most civil lawsuits. That process involves several phases. Some of these phases must occur before others. Other phases can occur at various times during the lawsuit. Some of the phases may never occur. However, assuming the case ends in a trial, the following phases are usually present.

  1. Phase One: Attorney Engagement
  2. Phase Two: Pre-filing Efforts
  3. Phase Three: File and Serve the Complaint
  4. Phase Four: The "pleading phase"
  5. Phase Five: Discovery
  6. Phase Six: Dispositive motions
  7. Phase Seven: Trial preparation
  8. Phase Eight: Settlement discussions
  9. Phase Nine: Trial
  10. Phase Ten: Post-trial activities
  11. Phase Eleven: Appeal
  12. Phase Twelve: Collection
