Involving the Jurors
As famous trial lawyer Moe Levine says, “We should look at the whole person. How were they affected. This is not to gain sympathy, but empathy (understanding). The emphasis is not on how bad their life is now, but on the good things about their life that they can no longer enjoy. It is not mere grief, but objective losses that the law compensates.
Tell the jurors they must stand up for the bicyclist’s loss. That’s why we’re all here. It‘s up to them.
What’s the Life Expectancy of the Loss
When the case is over and the courtroom doors close, should the bicyclist just suck it up? Should the bicyclist just pick another sport? Ask the jurors to discuss it in deliberations, don’t shy away from demanding a “full cup of justice”.
