It\u2019s important to understand that, simply because you are aware of what may be potentially compelling evidence, that it may not make it in front of a jury. That\u2019s because there are specific rules about what types of evidence can be admitted in a personal injury trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Evidence Will Be Inadmissible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The following types of evidence will generally not be allowed to be introduced when the jury is present:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improperly obtained evidence\u2014Evidence obtained through illegal actions, such as unauthorized wiretapping, computer hacking, theft or physical intimidation, will not be allowed at trial. Furthermore, evidence obtained through fraud or misrepresentation, such as assuming a false identity, may be excluded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opinion-based evidence\u2014An expert witness may give an opinion, but only if the court has determined that he or she is qualified as an expert. Any other opinion-based testimony is inadmissible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evidence of criminal acts\u2014As a general rule, such evidence is deemed irrelevant, unless it can be shown to establish a pattern of behavior that is relevant to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edwardleelaw.com\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>&nbsp;claim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hearsay evidence\u2014This rule is complicated, but essentially prevents a person from testifying about out-of-court statements another person made<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irrelevant evidence\u2014To be relevant, evidence must make a fact more or less probable. If it does not, it\u2019s most likely inadmissible. For example, if you\u2019re trying to prove that the defendant failed to stop at a red light, evidence that the defendant flunked out of college won\u2019t affect whether that fact is more or less probable, and will typically be inadmissible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Can You Introduce to Support Your Claim?
