Product Description
On August 31, 1869, Mary Ward of County Offaly, Ireland, fell under the wheel of her cousin's experimental steam vehicle and into history as the first documented person ever to be injured in a motor vehicle accident. Today, in the United States, Mrs. Ward would be only one of an average of 42,000 automobile accidents per year. As a civilization, our propensity to injure ourselves and others in motor vehicle accidents only slightly exceeds our need to impose responsibility through litigation. No lawyer who wishes to sharpen his or her skills in the courtroom can afford to pass up the opportunity that the trying the typical wheels case provides. In this manual you will receive practical guidance, starting with how, as a plaintiff's attorney, to evaluate your case and how to defend or prosecute the case to a verdict. What are the considerations when accepting the tortfeasor's liability limits (or less than the limits) in a claim for underinsured motorist coverage? Should you recommend that your client demand a jury, or not? What has a plaintiff to fear in litigating a rear end collision? Whether you practice automobile litigation daily or only occasionally, or if you wish to better understand auto litigation for your paralegal practice, this manual will give you how to's you can use. |
