Chapter 1
A Civil Case From Start to Finish
In this lesson, we will examine a civil case from start to finish, and I'll explain the important steps that all civil cases follow and define important legal terminology. We'll also take a look at the increasingly important role played by legal nurse consultants in all phases of civil cases. But first, let's talk about Charles and Julia Doe:
It was a clear, beautiful day in August last year. Charles Doe and his wife Julia had just finished a day of shopping and were driving home. Both in their late 60s and retired, they enjoyed spending time together. In order to get to their house, they had to turn off the main highway and drive down a side street. There is only one intersection on the street, where a railroad track crosses the road. They had crossed this track hundreds of times before. Charles had noticed, in recent months, that it was growing increasingly difficult to look for trains on the track because of the thick trees that had grown up at the intersection. In order to see an oncoming train, a motorist would have to slow down, edging out onto the track and craning his head to see in both directions. On August 20 of last year, Charles and Julia crossed this track for the last time. There is no dispute about the fact that the train, owned and operated by XX Railroad Company, struck the Doe's car on the passenger side. The train was going 25 mph, and Julia was killed instantly. The car was impaled on the locomotive and pushed 200 feet down the track before it fell off to the side. Fortunately for Charles, there was a fire station less than a quarter of a mile away, and the emergency response team got
