Trial

A trial is the legal process in which a jury or judge decides if a defendant should be held liable for injuries and damages suffered by the plaintiff. It involves gathering evidence as well as witness testimony and expert testimony, and present them to jurors.

The trial process is divided into two phases: the case-in chief and the closing arguments phase. Both of these phases could take several weeks or even months depending on the nature of the case.

In the main case, each party presents their key evidence to the jury. At this point, jury will evaluate all of the evidence presented and decide on the amount of compensation they believe to be appropriate.

The lawyers of each side will present their opening statements to the jury, describing what they believe the case will show and how they will prove their cases. Each side may have to give their opening statements for 30 minutes or longer.

After the opening statements, each attorney is allowed to make their case and give their testimony. This could include evidence such as photographs or accident reports experts, witness testimony and other evidence.

At the end of the witness testimony and evidence phase the parties will have the chance to present their closing arguments. These arguments are based upon the evidence presented and can be a reinforcement of any key arguments or arguments presented during the trial.

Both sides may appeal the verdict of the jury. This usually happens on the basis that there was a mistake in the jury selectionprocess, or that the judge was wrong in his or his interpretation of the law. The appeals court then examines the facts and judgment, making new decisions or rulings in the case.
