What happens if we lose at trial?

If you receive an unfavorable verdict at trial, several options exist. Your attorney can file post-trial motions asking the judge to reconsider the verdict or reduce/increase the damages awarded. Either party can appeal to a higher court if they believe legal errors affected the outcome—though appeals address legal issues, not factual disagreements. Appeals can take 1-2 years. Before trial, we discuss the risks and potential outcomes so you can make informed decisions. At Kane Trial Law, we only recommend trial when we believe the evidence supports a favorable outcome, and our track record of million-dollar verdicts reflects our courtroom effectiveness.
