Choosing the Right Lawyer is No AccidentObviously it is important for plaintiffs to understand the consequencesof these procedures. A personal injury attorney should be able to explainthis to their client and guide them to make the best decision for thembased on the non-binding arbitrator’s decision. However, this is anopportunity for both sides to get a neutral, unbiased opinion fromsomeone who has no knowledge of the case prior to the hearing. Thesetypes of procedures can help get a case settled for that reason.Jeff Adelman, B.C.S., Esq. 49
Choosing the Right Lawyer is No AccidentYOU’RE GOING TO TRIAL!WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.Here is some basic advice I would give any injury victim going to trial.Look like you actually care! Look interested throughout the case. Afterall, this is your only opportunity. You won’t get another chance, so makesure it looks as if you care. Take notes if you want to during the trial.The jury is watching you the entire time. Most of the jurors are notthrilled to be there. You are the most important piece of evidence, sowhether or not it looks like you care really does matter. If you lookdisinterested, why are they going to be interested?No phones! Turn it off. Put it away. Do not check your phone while courtis in session. The jury is not allowed to have their phones on them, andthey have to turn them off while the trial is going on, so don’t rub it inby looking at your phone while they are there. Your family and friendsneed to know that you are not available for phone calls and texts whileyou are sitting in court.Your body (the main evidence) must be at trial! You also have toconsider that many of the jurors do not want to be there, so it is importantto them that you be present for the trial. As I said before, they arewatching you the whole time. If your testimony is that you havedifficulty sitting for more than two hours a time, keep in mind that trialtime could be eight hours a day or more; if you sit there the entire timewithout getting up, without stretching, without going to the bathroom, ajuror might notice that. You don’t have to ask permission to stretch or goto the bathroom as long as you’re not on the stand. It’s important to beat the trial, but you’re not chained to the chair.Body language. Your reactions throughout the trial matter, your bodylanguage, your facial expressions. You know the defense is going to put50Jeff Adelman, B.C.S., Esq.
