Winning an appeal requires proving that mistakes were made during the original trial and that there are legitimate reasons why the decision rendered was unfair. Grounds for appealing a court decision could include:
- Misapplication of the law
- Mistakes in use, gathering or acceptance of evidence
- Mistake made by the judge, such as giving incorrect instructions or information
- Awarding unfair or unrequitable damages
If you have lost a court case, it is important to have an experienced appellate lawyer review the decision to determine if an appeal will be beneficial. In many cases, it will be. The last thing you want to do is give up on your case before you have to.
