        "text": "The process generally begins with a thorough investigation, including gathering evidence, witness statements, and medical records. Your attorney will then formally notify the at-fault party's insurance company of your claim. Negotiations typically follow, where your attorney presents your damages and demands fair compensation. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, a lawsuit may be filed. This can lead to discovery (exchanging information), mediation, and potentially a trial. Your attorney will guide you through each step, always aiming for the best possible outcome.",
