Can I sue for manganese poisoning on my own and avoid using a lawyer Or should I file as a member of a class What are the pros and cons of each
Anyone can bring a suit on a pro se basis - that is, without using an attorney. However, that is hardly ever a good idea, particularly with as complex a case as one for manganese poisoning. An attorney experienced with these types of cases has the knowledge necessary to make sure that every possible defendant is brought into the lawsuit, including some that you may not have contemplated.
He or she will also be able to make sure that all time limits are met, including statutes of limitations and limits imposed by the rules of court where your case is brought. Your attorney will be able to request all necessary discovery from the opposing side and will be able to comply with discovery requests so that your case is not compromised. Your attorney will be able to engage in settlement discussions on your behalf and may be able to work out a suitable settlement agreement; however, if your case goes to trial, your attorney will also know how to present your case effectively and counter your opponent's case for you. All of these reasons can make sure that you receive the maximum amount of money that your case is worth, and your attorney's expertise is well worth the percentage that will be retained to cover his or her expenses.
One question that has many aspects to it is whether to file your case individually or as part of a class. This is another question that your attorney can help you with, and in many cases, you may end up filing individually against some defendants and joining a class against others. Some of the reasons to file individually include that you often (but not always) get a larger damage award, you have the opportunity to present any issues that make your case unique and therefore worth more, or there may not be a class available for you to join. Reasons to join a class include that there is some power in numbers - in other words, it may be easier to prove a case that is supported by the evidence of many members of the class, that a company may be moved to declare bankruptcy if enough lawsuits are brought against it and that may mean that only class members get any damages at all, and that your damages from a particular defendant may be so small that it makes sense to join a class rather than try to bring your own action.
The decision whether to proceed individually or as a member of a class is only one decision that your attorney can help you make. You should contact an attorney experienced in handling manganese poisoning cases as soon as possible to discuss your case.
