|
|
Accident and injury lawsuits take many forms, but the basic stages of a personal injury case generally remain constant.In a personal injury trial, a judge or jury examines the evidence to decide whether, by a "preponderance of the evidence," the defendant should be held legally responsible for the injuries and harm alleged by the plaintiff. A trial is the plaintiff's opportunity to argue his or her case, in the hope of obtaining a judgment against the defendant. A trial also represents the defendant's chance to refute the plaintiff's case, and to offer his or her own evidence related to the dispute at issue. After both sides have presented their arguments, the judge or jury considers whether to find the defendant liable for the plaintiff's claimed injuries, and if so, to what extent,i.e. the amount of money damages a defendant must pay.
