In Michigan, a personal injury jury trial begins with jury selection, where attorneys question potential jurors to ensure fairness and impartiality.
Once the jury is selected:
- Both sides present opening statements.
- Witnesses testify and evidence is introduced.
- Attorneys cross-examine witnesses.
- Both sides deliver closing arguments.
- The judge instructs the jury on the law.
- The jury deliberates and reaches a verdict.
Jurors determine whether the defendant was negligent and, if so, what compensation should be awarded. While many cases settle before trial, a jury verdict can provide an important path to accountability when settlement negotiations fail.
