Jury Trials
Are jurors who sit in personal injury cases that are tried in the Coachella
Valley more or less generous than in larger metropolitan areas? Many years
ago when I first started representing accident victims who had been injured
in Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Indio, etc., I found the local juries to
be more conservative than in Los Angeles or San Francisco. I suspected
that a large number of retired people who made up the jury panel was probably
the reason for the conservative leanings of the jury panel. Having said
that, I can also say that when I represented a seriously injured accident
victim who the jury believed, to be honest and deserving of a large verdict,
that jury usually didn't hesitate to render a substantial verdict.
The demographics of the Coachella Valley have changed. Palm Springs is
no longer the retirement community it once was. Palm Desert has a thriving
middle-class population despite the present economic downturn. I find
our jurors to be intelligent and reasonable in their deliberations and
verdicts. In my opinion accident, victims in the Coachella Valley should
not be worried about having Personal Injury lawsuits tried in an Indio
courtroom. Our jurors are just as reasonable as Los Angeles jurors when
it comes to compensating accident victims that have been injured through
the fault of another.
