“Tools of the trade” for a personal injury accident lawyer are a must for full and fair jury verdicts.
Many people do not realize that a good personal injury accident lawyer needs “tools” to take to court, just like a carpenter needs a hammer, saw, level, etc. to do his job. Our well prepared personal injury lawyers in Charlottesville will have exhibits prepared well in advance. These exhibits will show the scene of the accident through the use of photographs, videos and when possible, aerial or Goggle Earth depictions. The lawyer will also use x-rays, with an x-ray view box, medical illustrations, and medical models when the case calls for that use at trial. Through the use of these trial tools the injury and accident lawyer can “take” the jury members to the scene and have them understand how the accident happened. With the medical “tools”, the injury and accident lawyer can cause the jury to understand the nature of the injury and the serious nature of the injuries.
When all this is done properly, the accident and injury lawyer can stand before a jury in a closing argument and ask that the jury award a full and fair monetary verdict for the injured party. Only then has the lawyer made full use of his tools of the trade.
