Client communication standards
Strong communication between attorneys and clients is essential for trust and effective representation. In truck accident cases, ethical rules require lawyers to keep clients informed and involved in key decisions.
Legal issues
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.
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.
Pre-trial motions
Before a truck accident lawsuit proceeds to trial, attorneys often file pre-trial motions. These requests ask the court to resolve certain issues or shape how the case will be presented.
