Although most cases are often settled before a lawsuit is filed, car accident lawsuits are still very common in the Delaware courts. Once a lawsuit is filed with the court, the parties will enter into discovery.
Discovery is the phase of litigation where both sides collect evidence for their case. This could be medical records, witnesses, past statements, or expert opinions.
Once the discovery process is finished, most cases will go to a Mediation or Arbitration. However, not all cases can settle and a court date is set.
