        "text": "The process generally begins with an investigation into the circumstances of the death and gathering evidence. Your attorney will then typically file a complaint in court. This is followed by a discovery phase, where both sides exchange information and evidence. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation before trial. If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial, where a judge or jury will make a decision. The timeline varies significantly depending on the case's complexity.",
