Standards of review
When reviewing truck accident appeals, appellate courts apply different levels of scrutiny depending on the type of alleged error. These standards determine how much deference is given to the trial court’s decision.
Appellate judges
Oral arguments before appellate courts
After appellate briefs are submitted, courts may schedule oral arguments. This stage gives attorneys the opportunity to clarify points, answer judges’ questions, and reinforce their strongest legal arguments.
Filing appellate briefs
Appellate briefs are the cornerstone of any appeal in a truck accident case. They outline the legal errors made during trial and present arguments to persuade appellate judges to overturn or modify the lower court’s decision.
