What Should You Expect from Our Team of Professionals During Your Case?

After review of your claim, a suit may be filed if necessary. Once a lawsuit is filed and served on all proper parties, it will go through a stage known as discovery. Both sides will exchange information, file requests for information and conduct sworn depositions (testimony given under oath after questioning by attorneys taken down by a stenographer or court reporter).

If your case involves a dangerous drug or medical device, a lawsuit filed in a federal court may be consolidated with other lawsuits involving the same factual and legal issues. This is known as multidistrict coordination or consolidation, often into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) proceeding. Once of the goals of an MDL is to avoid inconsistent rulings during the pretrial phase and to save time and costs for all parties involved.

One or more cases in the MDL may be chosen for what are called “bellwether trials.” While the outcomes of those trials are not binding on other cases, they can influence trial preparation and settlement negotiations moving forward.

The Driscoll Firm has been fortunate enough to have served in various leadership roles in some instances where consolidated or MDL cases are involved, including experience having been appointed as class counsel or state liaison counsel. Please see Our Record for more details.

Litigation is often a long process, involving years of work by lawyers. Our firm will keep you updated on the important developments, particularly any settlement offers that are extended. There will be no need to call us. We will periodically provide you with texts, e-mails and letters to keep you informed.

Why Should You Contact a St. Louis Personal Injury Lawyer?

As you move on after being harmed by a defective product or by the wrongdoing of another, you may wonder whether you should hire a lawyer to help you.

It is important to consider the many services that a law firm such as The Driscoll Firm can provide, including:

• You have a right to know how and why a certain product or a person’s conduct hurt you and who should be held responsible for the physical, emotional and financial harm you have suffered. We can help you to seek those answers.
• We can pursue fair compensation for you that includes recovery for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and more. In rare cases, seeking punitive damages may be warranted as well.
• The reality is that some people and corporations will not change their harmful behavior unless legal action is taken. We can help you to take legal action that can lead to changes that ultimately protect others from suffering similar harm. Accountability!

Keep in mind: You will pay no costs or legal fees unless we obtain a financial recovery for you. This is known as a contingency fee. If we successfully resolve your case, we will be paid a percentage of your settlement or verdict as agreed.
