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.
Cases purpose
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.
Jury selection in personal injury cases
The jury plays a central role in truck accident trials, as jurors ultimately decide liability and damages. The process of selecting a fair and impartial jury—called voir dire—is one of the most important steps in preparing for trial.
Wrongful death damages
When a truck accident results in a fatality, surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim. These damages aim to compensate loved ones for both financial and emotional losses.
Discovery process in truck accident cases
The discovery process is the phase of litigation where both sides exchange evidence and gather information. In truck accident cases, discovery is often extensive due to the number of parties, regulations, and technical evidence involved.
Maintenance and inspection logs
Maintenance and inspection logs are critical records that reveal whether a truck was properly serviced and safe to operate. They often become central evidence in determining liability after an accident.
