Negligence Action Checklist

NEGLIGENCE ACTION CHECKLIST. This is a comprehensive internal workflow and case management tool used by law firms to handle negligence and personal injury cases from initial client contact through trial, appeal, settlement, and file closure. The checklist is designed to be placed at the top of each negligence file and provides a step-by-step procedural roadmap for attorneys and legal assistants. It covers client intake, interviews, retainer execution, investigation, diary and deadline tracking, pleadings, discovery, settlement negotiations, trial notebook preparation, pretrial conferences, trial, post-trial motions, appeals, judgment processing, and file closing procedures. Each step identifies the responsible party, required forms, follow-up actions, and documentation. Commonly used as a firm-wide standard operating guide, this checklist promotes consistency, deadline compliance, and thorough preparation in negligence litigation. www.FormsWorkflow.com
