What is Voir Direâand why does it matter in a personal injury case? âď¸
Before opening statements are made or evidence is presented, one of the most important parts of a jury trial takes place: voir dire, commonly known as jury selection.
During voir dire, attorneys have the opportunity to ask potential jurors questions designed to uncover experiences, opinions, or biases that could affect their ability to fairly evaluate the case.
In a personal injury case, this can be especially important. Jurors may come in with preconceived opinions about lawsuits, insurance claims, medical treatment, damages, pain and suffering, or what they believe an injury is âworth.â Voir dire gives attorneys an opportunity to identify those perspectives before the case begins.
The goal isnât to find jurors who automatically agree with one side. Itâs to help seat a jury that can listen to the evidence, follow the law, and evaluate the case fairly and impartially.
Because before a jury can decide the facts of a case, attorneys need to understand the people who will be deciding them.
Voir dire may happen before the trial beginsâbut its impact can be felt throughout the entire case.
