Consequences of losing the case:

First, the legal fees paid by the plaintiff in advance shall be borne by the plaintiff himself, which is different from the legal fees paid by the defendant after winning the case.

Second, the litigation costs are also borne by the plaintiff, such as judicial expertise fees. Winning the case can be decided by the defendant and borne by the plaintiff himself.

Third, before the lawsuit, there was a similar agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant that "the lawyer's agency fee paid to realize the creditor's rights shall be borne by the defendant", and it was also borne by the plaintiff himself because of losing the lawsuit.

Fourth, the most important thing is that the purpose of being willing to sue is to safeguard one's legitimate rights and interests through litigation and legal protection. Because of losing the case, the court did not support it, and the purpose of the lawsuit could not be achieved.

Litigation is to solve the disputes between them through litigation and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

When a party brings a lawsuit to a court with jurisdiction, the court will review the conditions for filing a case, and only those who meet the prescribed conditions for filing a case will be filed.

How long does it usually take to file a lawsuit for traffic accidents?

Litigation time: the first trial usually lasts for 3-6 months, and traffic accident cases can be closed in 3 months in most cases; After the first-instance judgment is issued, both parties accept the judgment and the first-instance judgment takes effect. If either party refuses to accept the appeal, the second trial will be held for three months, and the second trial is final, and no further appeal is allowed; If the defendant can consciously perform the effective judgment of the first instance or the second instance, the lawsuit is terminated. If the defendant refuses to perform, he needs to apply to the court for enforcement. Although the law stipulates that the execution should be completed within 6 months, generally speaking, traffic cases can be completed in about 1 month.

The limitation period of action shall be counted from the time when you know or should know that your rights have been infringed. However, if more than 20 years have passed since the right was infringed, the people's court will not protect it. Under special circumstances, the people's court may extend the limitation of action. The limitation of action is interrupted by the institution of a lawsuit, the request of one party or the agreement to perform the obligation. From the time of interruption, the limitation period of action shall be recalculated.

The limitation of action for personal injury compensation in traffic accidents is one year, counting from the day after receiving the accident confirmation. However, if you apply for mediation by the traffic team or the other party has been paying the fees, the time limit for negotiation and settlement can be interrupted, but there must be evidence. If you don't master it well, it is likely to exceed the action limit. And from the execution point of view, it is still necessary to sue as soon as possible after the treatment.
