It is crucial for your case as it can make or break your issue if you are injured in Vermont. In this blog, you will read about the types of motions in a personal injury case.
What is a motion?
A motion is an application that the defendant or the plaintiff puts forward to request the jury decide on specific issues before the trial begins. At the end of the motion, the judge can frame rules that both parties will abide by when gathering evidence and during the trial. The pretrial motion can explore some questions that may even lead to case settlement there itself. So you must have got an idea about the pretrial motion. Now let's read about its types.
Types of pretrial motions
It is a motion in which the party that files the case requests the judge to decide immediately in favor of them without further exploring the issue.
If the other party is trying to hide so that you can't serve the notice, you can use an alternative service. In such a case, the court might advise you to publish the information in a newspaper, post it in the court or even use social media. In these methods, you require methods before opting for them.
When the defendant does not send a formal reply to your complaint, you can bring it to the court's notice, and the judges will decide in your favor due to the lack of participation of the other party.
Before the trial, you will search for pieces of evidence, and this phase is known as discovery. During this phase, there might be some evidence under the other party's control, and then there is a disagreement between the parties regarding the evidence collection method. In such cases, the judge intervenes on your request and forms rules for evidence collection.
In this type of motion, the other party might request dismissal of the case based on several grounds. In such cases, you can file the claim again, but the decision is final in other methods.
It is a motion in which you request the court to include or exclude some evidence during the trial. It allows you to gather evidence that is allowed in the court.
