The Complaint

The complaint is filed before the court and is served to the defendants. The defendants are given a deadline for filing an answer or a response. They will respond to the allegations and state their defenses. At this point, your lawyer can also make a counterclaim, or a third-party defendant.

In the Complaint, the lawyer will refer to the law in force (including the laws and decisions of the courts in which the case is being heard, and cases from other jurisdictions) to support their arguments. This will help the judge know why they believe the defendant is liable for your injuries.

Then, we will prepare a Bill of Particulars. It is a legal document that will list your injuries and their total cost, including medical bills, lost wage and other monetary damages. We'll also draft an order for relief that provides the compensation you are seeking. The demand is dependent on the medical treatment you received and other evidence you've provided to your attorney.
