If you’re pursuing a personal injury case, one of the biggest questions is whether you should opt for a jury trial or a bench trial. In this video, attorneys Brent Stewart and Elizabeth VonCannon of Stewart Law Offices explain the differences and how those choices may affect the outcome of your case.
A jury trial allows your case to be decided by a group of peers from your community, which can often lead to fair outcomes — but it also carries risks such as juror bias or unpredictability. A bench trial, decided by a judge alone, may be better when the facts are straightforward and damages are clear. Brent explains why he often prefers jury trials but acknowledges situations where bench trials can make more sense.
Elizabeth then walks through the litigation intake process, where attorneys gather background information, medical records, and insurance details to create a clear strategy for the case. Brent also addresses an important concern: what if you feel you can’t work with your lawyer? Clients have the right to change attorneys, and contracts outline how fees are handled if a case is already underway.
Litigation is challenging, but understanding your options and building a strong attorney-client relationship ensures your case is handled effectively.
