Techniques for Getting A Florida Jury to Award an Injured Car Accident Victim Money

The bulk of your case comes down to damages.  As an experienced West Palm Beach car accident attorney, you should focus on hard damages which are medical bills and lost wages (past, present and future).  These damages are awarded to the accident victim, to fix the problem created by the at fault driver.  They are rational and easy to prove and dangerous to the defendant and the defendant's insurance company. Another type of damages is loss of support which can occur when a family member dies and you show their loss of income over their lifetime.  You must show how your client has been economically affected by their injury.  Having your client keep a ledger of this and reviewing it with them, is a good way to keep track of these damages.

Lastly, never remove emotion from your case.  Make the jury angry.  Get into your client's shoes, advocate for them, and articulate to the jury how the defendant's egregious behavior has affected your client. We all have feelings and we all act on them.  Our feelings guide our decisions--make your jurors act on their feelings.
