Alabama Personal Injury Attorney Guide to the Personal Injury Lawsuit Process – Part Two

Preparation of Initial Documents: After an Alabama personal injury lawyer identifies his/her theories of liability and defendants he/she must then decide where is the appropriate and/or best place possible to file the lawsuit. The place where the lawsuit is filed is known as the "venue." In a personal injury situation or a tort claim, often the proper venue to file the lawsuit is the county in which the accident occurred. For example, a Birmingham car accident that involved two Alabama residents would typically have to be file in Birmingham or in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County. However, if the dispute involves a breach of contract, then the proper venue for a breach of contract claim in Alabama is usually the County where the contract was entered into. Once the personal injury attorney has determined what is the proper venue to file his/her lawsuit then the next step is to draft the complaint. The complaint is the initial document that is filed with the court and served upon the defendant(s), which sets out the facts of the case and the Plaintiff's legal claims against the defendant(s) and the damages and/or remedy the Plaintiff is seeking.
