Q&A

---

The accident happened two years ago. Why am I being sued now?

So I got sued. What happens next, and how long will it take?

What should I do if I receive a summons and complaint, or any other legal papers?

Is this case going to settle? Or will it go to trial?

I do not think that the plaintiff's case has any merit. Why can't I just get it dismissed?

What are my obligations to cooperate with my defense counsel?

What if I want to meet with my attorney at anytime in advance of a significant event during the course of the lawsuit (i.e. deposition, trial, etc.)?

If I have to make an appearance at a deposition or trial, how should I dress?

If I am scheduled for a deposition, will I have sufficient time to meet with my counsel in advance of that deposition?

I have been sued, but I want to assert a claim back against the plaintiff for my own injuries or property damage. Can I retain the services of this firm for that purpose?

What are Interrogatories?

What is a deposition?

I have received a letter from my insurance carrier indicating that I could hire my own lawyer. Should I do so at this time?
