Venue Very Important in Personal Injury Cases
As an Atlanta automobile accident attorney, a recent plaintiff’s verdict in Cobb County is a reminder that the venue of your auto accident case is a very important factor in whether to take a perosnal injury case to trial.
In the case, the defendant admitted he was negligence and only defended the case on the amount of damages that should be awarded to the plaintiff. Plaintiff asked the jury for $500,000.00 and the jury only awarded him $16,000.00—just enough to cover his medical bills.
Cobb County is a very conservative jurisdiction and the jurors are very intelligent. In personal injury cases, often that can be a big negative as it was in this case.
