"Prepare the questions to ask the injured plaintiff about his/her injuries  --- in less than half the time you now spend in prep time."

     --- Guaranteed!      The Bodily Injury Suite Forms.

There are a number of legal forms that are useful for a  lawyer handling bodily injury claims.  As you scroll down this long page you will probably find at least two forms that you want for your BI practice. Because these form apply to the injuries themselves, not to the cause of the injuries, we have grouped these legal forms into our "BI Forms Suite."

The primary form in this BI suite is the Plaintiff's Bodily Injury Deposition or Testimony Checklist.  Every defense attorney in a motor vehicle, premises liability, or product defect case -- any tort BI case --- will want Plaintiff's Bodily Injury Deposition or Testimony Checklist.  It is a complete checklist for the bodily injuries portions of your questions in the deposition of an injured person in any type of tort personal injury case.

Likewise, every plaintiff's attorney will want Plaintiff's Bodily Injury Deposition or Testimony Checklist, but for two different reasons than the defense wants this form. As the lawyer for the injured person you will use this this checklist to prepare your personal injury lawsuit client for his/her deposition by the defense.  And you will use this as your guide in asking your client questions at trial, to get the best direct testimony about the injuries into evidence.

Here are two deposition and trial testimony checklists. Both give you the questions to ask with the speed of pulling the checklist off your computer:

When it came to the trial, for the first five years doing defense work, I never could understand why the plaintiff never spent much time on the witness stand telling the real details that mean so much to the jury.  Then it finally hit me,

Most plaintiff's attorneys never take the time to develop a complete checklist of the injury points to ask their client on the witness stand at trial. 

And most defense attorneys never take the time to develop a complete checklist of the injury points to ask the plaintiff at the deposition.

That does not have to be you.
We develop the complete checklist for you!

The Plaintiff's Bodily Injury Deposition or Testimony Checklist is for use with the injured person, is the more powerful form, is designed for both plaintiffs and defendants, useful in both depositions and trials, and is, quite frankly, may be the most expensive form we have on a dollar per page basis.  Yet, like all our forms, if it saves you a half-hour of time - ever - it pays for itself.

The Spouse's form is primarily just for plaintiff's counsel's trial use.  But as a defense attorney for over 35 insurers and national self-insured companies, in five states, I always used this form when taking the deposition of the spouse.  I found that if the plaintiff's attorney had not prepared the client sufficiently, I would uncover some good testimony to minimize damages at the trial.  By going through the list of items, I would always come up with several items I could safely ask at trial and get answers on a number of things that the spouse had told me at trial had not been affected by the injuries.  End a cross-exam at trial with 10 of those in quick succession and the plaintiff loses a lot ground with the jury.
