Nine Questions a Jury Asks after a Car Accident

Posted Monday, November 23, 2015 by Chris Thayer

After a car accident, our Seattle car accident attorneys have found that juries ask the following nine questions.

Were you obeying the laws?
What was the weather like at the time of the accident?
Were you distracted by outside factors, such as a phone call?
Were you speeding?
What is your driving history?
Had you driven in this location before and at this time of day?
How do other drivers at this location normally act?
What type of injuries are you currently suffering from due to the accident?
What type of pre-existing medical issues do you have?

TESTIMONIAL: I was injured in two car accidents within an eight month period and was unable to get a settlement from the insurance companies anywhere near consummate with the life style changing injuries I incurred. Frustrated with the insurance companies rhetoric and low ball offers, I did some research and found Chris Thayer at Pivotal Law Group. It’s the best decision I could have made.
At our first meeting Chris explained the process we were going to go through and right away I felt confident that he was going to was going to get the best settlement possible. Throughout the process he was low keyed, very personable and explained what he was doing and involved me in the decision making. With the help of Tara Peterson who was always on top administrative end of things, we did reach a settlement that I’m very satisfied with. I would recommend Chris Thayer to anyone I know involved in a injury accident, he’s the best. – Jeff Jennings
