Preparing Appeal Closing Arguments
Summary
When preparing closing arguments for a medical malpractice appeal, its crucial to structure your arguments by introducing relevant precedents, connecting them to your case, and clearly stating the specific relief sought. For example, in Smith v. Jones (2017), highlight the defendants refusal to provide necessary treatment. In Smith v. Superior Court (1992), emphasize false claims without evidence. For damages, reference Smith v. Brown (1999) to illustrate the impact of inadequate care. In the Court of Appeal, summarize key arguments, specify the relief sought, and consider stating a monetary amount for compensation based on medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.Full Conversation
