Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Re: what happens after a complaint is filed

They teach clases on this at law school, so it's a very broad question. But,generally speaking, it would go as follows:

Complaint

Answer and defenses

Counterclaim (which would then need an answer)

Third part claim (and answer)

Before answer, if applicable, motion to dismiss

Motion to strike, if possible

Discovery:

request to produce

interrogatories

request to admit

depositions, fact witnesses

depositions, doctors

depositions, retained experts

defense medical examinations

motion for summary judgment

orders to set trial

motion in limine

trial

jury charge conference

verdict

post trial motions

appeal

if reversed, much is repeated.

I have probably left some out, but that is a pretty complete list.
