The Words Lawyers Use in Personal Injury Auto Accident Cases
Evan Schaeffer's Illinois Trial Practice Weblog blogs today about a post in the Psychiatrist Blog indicating that witnesses are highly suggestible depending upon the words lawyers use in describing an auto or truck accident. I find the psychology of this very interesting and this blog post makes for a good read. The take home message: words matter.
I wrote a blog post for the Trial Lawyers Resource Center discussing this same issue of the words selected when it comes to describing a personal injury victim's injuries. You can find that blog post here.
