If your lawsuit injury doesn’t get proper and it is on a trial then it is totally upon the persons who are listening to your case to call the jury to calculate that how much they should pay you. Now I will let you know that how any jury gives its award when anyone’s injury lawsuit is on trial? What is going on in the deliberation room? When the judgers have to make a decision, they study well and go through all the proofs they found during the trial and that applies the law according to the case. They have to put exact law according to the case. There is more information you can get about the award-giving process and deliberation of the jury.
How to review evidence related to an injury case:
It is said that the judges mostly give prior attention to the evidence found in the investigation trial. Most judges make notes in the court during hearings. All the judges sit down together and starts talking on the aspects of case every judge is an individual who has his own thinking. Everyone sees the case in their own way how their mind thinks about the case. They all go through each and every single point of the case. Every point they get during the trial and go through the notes they make during trial. Once they get their point, they all sit together and starts discussing points they get from studying the case. Then a huge number or debating points are passed by everyone. Which finally ends up when they all gather up on one point and All are agreed to that point. Then that will become the main point of the case from where it gets easy to find the solution. They discuss until they get at the level of satisfaction .so now they get a command on how the accident actually happened.
When the judges get any normal case or the case which comes in routine then they study it in one or two hours. But when there is a complex case which judges have to study, they take days or sometimes difficult cases takes months to resolve. They investigate every aspect. Go through every angle so they can get the case right. They study until they get the results and they reach the conclusion. After knowing the facts now, the time comes to consult law.
How do they apply law?
Law application comes in two aspects:
- Inspection of the jury.
- Appeal makes emotionally.
Judges makes lengthy jury instruction points to the jurors. Mostly they give these instructions before or after the hearing but some gives in the middle. They mostly give instructions orally but now some judges giving written pages consists of lengthy juridical instructions handed to jury before, after or in middle.
These papers have detailed information about how to handle the case, how to understand the evidences, how to deliberate, how the jurors will explain the case well and do the implementation of the law. And then the case will be detailed explained.
Generally, the law of negligence will be explained by the judge and then they will discuss the laws specifically implied upon that trial. For example, if the trial for the case of traffic rules happens that somebody crossed the road in the wrong direction and the car coming from right direction collapse with that car then the judge will put the traffic rules act law on the trial.
Application of the Law:
Judges restricts juries to impact law strictly according to the case. They emphasize not to get swayed by emotions and do implement of your decision strictly. Apply all the terms putting away your emotions. Don’t implement any law by your self but the law and terms and case study defined by the judge and decided by the jury panel. These cases are very serious and should be deal emotion less. These actions should be taken strongly and with courage. But it is human nature that human thinks with brain but little heart is also involved in their decision. Some times we can control our emotions but sometimes we can’t control emotions they are just over flown. But the involvement of the heart is more uncontrolled in personal injury cases. If the case takes a strong emotional appeal there are the 75 % chances they could win.
What is an emotional strong appeal for a jury?
- Some emotional appeals will strongly attack on judge emotions and will let the case win.
- A serious injury like paralysis or tragic death will give more money and will boost case win.
- When a child gets injured, it is also a strong emotional appeal.
- If you take pictures of injury, it is also strong appeal which makes case strong.
- Pain and sufferings being decide by jurors
It is said that this step is easy because jurors can calculate this. They can calculate the damage caused by accident and can let them overcome the damage. AS well as they can also calculate medical bills and make the doer pay.
But Does Anyone calculate the sufferings, pain, and emotions of somebody from which they go through after an accident?
So, it’s the tough task to make a decision strictly where your emotions distract you. You can overcome their financial loss but you can’t undo their emotional loss, the pain through which the family went. Nobody can undo that loss. judges don’t say too much about that and also don’t show that they care about your emotions. That is the strongest point of the judge that he belongs to a strong judicial background.
But the judge makes sure to compensate the victim’s family. Although he can’t undo the pain and sufferings of the family, he can try to make material loss undo.
At last, it always happens but both sides want to dissolve their issue outside the premises of court but if they take their case to court then they had to follow the law.
