In some cases, a biased witness’s testimony may still be valuable to your case, as long as their bias can be explained and understood. For example, if the witness is a family member or friend who has a clear bias in your favor, their testimony may still be useful if they can provide valuable information about the accident or your injuries. Your attorney can help prepare the witness to address potential criticisms and highlight the value of their testimony.
Additionally, if the witness is biased against you, their testimony may still be valuable in some cases. For example, if the witness is a former employer or coworker who has a negative opinion of you, their testimony may be useful in demonstrating that you had a good work record before the accident. In such cases, it is important to anticipate and address any biases or potential criticisms during the trial or settlement negotiations, in order to minimize their impact on the outcome of your case.
