Appealing a Decision or Judgment
Appealing a Decision or Judgment
Similar to collecting money after a Los Angeles or Riverside motorcycle accident court judgment, your California Attorney Group attorney may continue working for you after your trial has ended. But unlike theproblems and procedures of collecting money, you may still need to retain your personal injury attorney after a case you have lost. After a court decision has been made on a civil case, both sides have the opportunity to Appeal the decision in an Appeals Court. In this case, you will need an attorney who has an understanding of the appeals process, which can be quite different from the original court trial process. If you or a loved one is looking for a personal injury attorney with an understanding of the court appeals process, the contact the California Attorney Group today at (866) 650-0505.
An Appeal is essentially a review of your motorcycle accident trial. As a review, and not a new trial, there will be no jury and no new evidence presented. This means that the court will receive no new witnesses, physical evidence or expert testimony. Instead, the Appellate Court, most likely comprised of a panel of judges, will only see a small number of things:
• Your motorcycle accident attorney’s Appellate Brief as well as the defendant’s,
• Brief oral arguments from both sides, along with
• A Record, or transcript, of your trial.
In the case that you have lost your trial, your California Attorney Group attorney will use their skill to demonstrate how the law was inappropriately applied to your case, and why judgment should be reversed. In the event that you have won your original trial, the defendant may appeal the verdict, in which case your personal injury attorney’s brief will state that the law was correctly applied, and that the judgment should stand. Both parties will apply Southern California laws and statutes into the brief, citing various instances of your case from the Record of your trial. The focus of the appeal is mainly on this kind of academic work, rather than the kind of prolonged procedural and tactical planning done in the original trial. It is important to find an attorney who understands the differences in an Appeals case, and has the range of litigious skill that is required to sustain a case through the appeals process. If you are looking for help in Appealing your Los Angeles, Palm Desert or Riverside motorcycle accident case decision, contact the California Legal Group today at (866) 650-0505.
Your person injury case can be appealed repeatedly, as long as there is a higher court with jurisdiction that can look at the Appeal. Since most motorcycle accident cases will look at traffic laws, and other laws that are particular to Southern California, your personal injury case may be confined to Appellate Courts at the state level. This means that your California Attorney Group team will not be able, if needs be, to press the case into a federal court unless there are circumstances that call for it.
When choosing an attorney, it is important that they have the legal experience that runs the range of procedures and strategies from pre-trial, all the way through collecting your money after several appellate decisions. Many Los Angeles, Lake Elsinore, Palm Springs and Riverside motorcycle accident cases are tricky, and require a legal team, like that at the California Attorney Group, who have experience seeing such cases through to the end, all the time watching over their clients’ satisfaction.
