Q: If I am pending a litigation case what is the best thing to do
A: Hire a lawyer experienced in the subject matter of the claim. If it is a bad medical device or pharmaceutical product, hire an experienced and knowledgeable products liability attorney. If it is an auto accident, hire an auto accident lawyer. Regardless, always ask the attorney, when was the last time you entered the courtroom and tried a case and what was the result?

A: The best thing you can do is to get an attorney on your side. Depending on what type of case you have you might find it's actually affordable - or maybe on a contingency. Litigation has many traps for the unwary.

A:
Confirm you are within the statute of limitations.
Contact an attorney. You are in a forum for Personal Injury, Products Liability and Health Care, so your consultation should be free. Then you'll be in a much better position on the direction in moving forward. If the value of your claim is less than $10,000, you can file in small claims court. Good luck. Patrick.
