Introduction: As Attorney Rick Friedman says:
“Unstated implication is used as a tactic by the defense against plaintiffs with subjective complaints, and IME reports are used to strengthen the suspicion of plaintiff’s motives”. Also, the jury pool is frequently bombarded with clever insurance ads implying claim-making is itself suspicious. …. You, The counselor, have unlimited access to the best witnesses on the issues of honest, work ethic and legitimacy of injuries - your client’s network of friends, family and coworkers.
I provide the opportunity to test, prove, and establish the benefits of lay witness interviews in your practice.
Lay witness declarations could increase the value of a case in the mind of the opposition or the award amount at trial.
