    Default Re: What Are My Chances of Winning a Lawsuit in This Case

    As I said before, it is very common that witnesses are not allowed in the courtroom to watch the trial prior to testifying. It would have been up to the prosecuting attorney or officer prosecuting the case to make the decision whether to call you as a witness. It may be, though, that some snafu at the courthouse left the prosecutor/officer not knowing that you were there to testify.

    That may well have made a difference. The officer didn't see the accident so he would be limited in what he could say about it.
    Another factor could be something that most do not like to discuss here - that there are good lawyers and junior lawyers. One could assume that a lawyer who prosecutes traffic citations is not very high up on the prosecutor list and might easily be beaten by a more skilled lawyer. I once hired a lawyer to fight a traffic ticket and he basically intimidated/threatened the prosecutor to drop the charges. And he did.

    TM,
    Could the old guy's defense attorney disqualify the OP as a biased witness who has no formal training in enforcing and judging traffic laws? The OP even has a case so to speak against the old guy. Couldn't that be used as a disqualifier too?
