So we are sitting at trial and the jury pool is brought in, and those are the jurors who we are going to choose from as to who’s going to be sitting on our jury. We get a list that encompasses their names, their addresses, their employment, their education, their marital status and often the wife’s employment.
 

We talked last week a little bit about making the call to the adverse insurance company and what you should say and maybe what you shouldn’t say. A client of mine brought it up to me last week when we were getting ready for a deposition.

Roads Preparing for a Jury Trial, 101. It is all about attention to detail, and preparation. Of course we deal with auto torts, but the same is true for any kind of jury trial.

That is what the defense is going to base their defense on -their argument throughout the trial. The Defense will present blow up pictures of the car, they’ll have a doctor who has examined or has looked at the records of the Plaintiff and is willing to testify that there’s no way in the world that this Plaintiff could possibly have been injured from this accident – Impossible.

Anyway, we’ve been sitting around talking about the ramifications of contributory negligence and comparative negligence and if there was a change to comparative negligence, how that would actually affect the lives of our clients. We were talking about the Boulevard Law.

When you use your collision insurance coverage to repair your auto after an accident, normally, it’s a good way to go because you don’t have to wait for the other insurance company. They may have to contact their insured, get a statement and possibly wait for the police report – then they will go out and look at your car and finally do an estimate.
