While it usually benefits all parties to settle personal injury claims outside of the civil courts, accident victims in El Paso who have experienced legal representation are prepared to take their cases to trial when settlement agreements are not viable options. There are four main types of participants at most personal injury trials; they include the plaintiff or accident victim, defendant, judge and jury. For some civil court cases, plaintiffs receive bench trials where judges alone assess presented evidence and provide rulings. All other trials are heard by juries and are ruled upon by judges. Here is a general description of the trial process for personal injury cases as well as actions that can be taken by plaintiffs if they receive unfavorable rulings.
