What Happens When You File Lawsuit After Denied Claim in Atlanta?
Riah Greathouse, Esq. · January 13, 2026You’ve taken the crucial step of filing a lawsuit, and now you might be wondering about the next stages. The insurance company’s refusal to settle means the case proceeds to court, where five pivotal steps come into play: Pleadings, Discovery, Pre-trial Proceedings, Trial, and the Appeals Process.

Remember, despite the lawsuit being filed, settlement negotiations might continue. You’ll receive further instructions from our team regarding the deposition. If any queries arise, our team is here to address them promptly.
