Fourth Stage: Trial and Judgement
Finally, if a settlement cannot be reached using all the above options, the case will go to trial. Although a trial is the most high-profile phase of the personal injury lawsuit process, the vast majority of personal injury disputes are resolved well before trial — and in some cases before a lawsuit is even filed. A complete personal injury trial typically consists of six main phases: choosing a jury, opening statements, witness testimony and cross-examination, closing arguments, jury instruction, jury deliberation, and verdict.
Many attorneys talk about going to trial but the attorneys at the Hollingsworth Law Firm actually DO try cases. Lead attorney Steve Hollingsworth has tried more cases in the courtroom than most lawyers do in their entire careers. With over 50 jury trials as lead counsel in over a dozen different Texas counties, he is not afraid of going to court and fighting for you and your family anywhere in the state of Texas.
