Factors influencing settlement value
The value of a truck accident settlement depends on many legal, medical, and practical considerations. Understanding these factors helps plaintiffs and attorneys evaluate fair compensation.
Presentation of evidence and witnesses
After opening statements, each side presents evidence and calls witnesses to support their version of events. In truck accident cases, this stage often involves technical records, expert testimony, and eyewitness accounts.
Opening statements
The opening statement is each party’s first opportunity to present their side of the story to the jury. In truck accident cases, strong opening statements frame the narrative, highlight key evidence, and set the tone for the trial.
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.
