If you were involved in a crash or were otherwise injured at
no fault of your own, you may wish to file a personal injury lawsuit against
the other party. A lawsuit can help you regain lost wages, recover damages and
gain peace of mind after a personal injury. Before filing a lawsuit, however.
there are several things that you should consider in regard to expenses. After
all, you do not want to leave a court case with less money than you had going
in.
Filing Fees
When filing a personal injury lawsuit, you will be required to pay a fee for the petition. On average, a filing fee ranges between 10 and 50 dollars. In one payment, this is not much, but various filing fees over the course of an entire trial can stack up to over $1,000. Be sure that the reward of the case is large enough to offset this expense and prior damages.
Time Off from Work
If you have returned to work after an injury, filing a
lawsuit against another party will likely mean that you need to take more time
off for the trial. This can result in more lost wages, so you need to be
absolutely sure that the benefits of the case outweigh this.
Copying Costs
In order to make a solid argument in front of the judge, you
will need evidence in the form of medical documents, bills, and police reports.
These will cost you money to get copied.
