A jury can hear weeks of testimony, but what they remember when they enter the jury room matters.

Julia shares how headlines and transitions help jurors organize complex information and focus on what matters most.

The goal? Give jurors the ability to RETAIN the facts, RECALL the evidence, and RELY on it during deliberations.

Because presenting the evidence is only part of the job. A trial lawyer must make sure the jury can remember and connect the dots when it matters most.

When you step aboard a private yacht, you trust that the proper safety measures are in place and that the crew and marina will take reasonable precautions to protect guests, including when boarding and disembarking.

When those responsibilities are neglected and someone gets hurt, accountability matters.

At Elizabeth Zwibel Law, we stand up for injured individuals and work to hold the responsible parties accountable.

That’s what we do as we help our communities.

Trucking companies often have rapid response teams ready to investigate a crash and protect their interests. So, who’s protecting yours?

Critical evidence, including electronic data and records, can be lost or overwritten if action isn’t taken quickly. Having an experienced trial lawyer involved early can make all the difference in preserving the evidence needed to pursue accountability.

Life care plans aren’t just for adults.

When a child suffers a serious injury, the impact can follow them for years—or even a lifetime. Their needs may change as they grow, which makes understanding their future medical care, therapies, equipment, and support especially important.

A life care plan helps identify those anticipated needs and the costs associated with them, so the child and their family can plan for the future—not just address what they need today.

Because when a child’s life changes after an injury, the focus should be on protecting their future, too.

Depositions are an important part of a client’s case, especially when trial is on the horizon. Preparation, research, knowledge, and ex*****on matter.

At Elizabeth Zwibel Law, we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice for our clients. We fight — no matter how long it takes and no matter how tough the fight becomes.

Because our clients come first. Always.

Trial Tip Tuesday ⚖️

One of the fastest ways to create questions about your injury case? An unexplained gap in medical treatment.

When the defense sees weeks or months without treatment, they may argue: “If they were really hurt, why didn’t they keep treating?”

And a jury may wonder the same thing.

But sometimes there’s a legitimate reason. Maybe you were in too much pain to get out of bed. Maybe you couldn’t afford to miss work. Maybe you were dealing with another issue entirely.

If there’s a reason you missed treatment, document it.

Your medical treatment tells part of your story. Make sure the gaps don’t tell a story that isn’t true.

A “normal” CT scan does not always mean you’re okay after a serious crash or fall.

In emergency rooms, CT scans are often used to look for serious injuries that may require immediate neurosurgical attention. But some effects of a traumatic brain injury may not show up on that initial scan.

Sometimes, the people who notice something has changed aren’t the doctors—they’re the people closest to you.

A spouse notices you’re not sleeping.
A parent notices the nightmares.
A friend notices you don’t seem like yourself.

Those changes can surface days or weeks after the accident.

If you or someone you love has experienced a significant head injury, don’t ignore changes simply because the first scan was “normal.” Pay attention to what happens afterward—and make sure those concerns are addressed.

When a court dismisses a case, it doesn’t necessarily mean the fight is over when you have a trial lawyer leading your case.

The same is true when a case is dismissed by multiple courts.

That’s what happened here for these individuals who suffered horrific sexual abuse at the hands of priests—abuse that never should have happened.

Liz Zwibel and her trial team at EAZ Law spent years fighting to get these cases to the finish line, overcoming hurdle after hurdle, sparing no expense, and taking the risks necessary to pursue justice the right way.

While the financial compensation matters, it can never replace what was taken from these individuals who trusted members of the clergy.

We applaud them for their courage and resilience—and for having the strength to see those responsible held accountable.

That is what trial law is all about.

The driver who caused your crash may not be the only person responsible.

In Florida and other states, there are situations where someone who allows another person to use their vehicle can also be held responsible. This is known as negligent entrustment.

We handled a case involving a hotel that provided vehicle keys to an unlicensed driver. That decision had consequences—and the hotel owner ultimately faced liability as well.

Fortunately, we were able to resolve the case and our client received the compensation they deserved.

After a serious crash, don’t stop at “Who was driving?”

Ask: Who else may have played a role in putting that driver behind the wheel?

Routine paperwork is never just routine—especially when it comes from an insurance company.

Before signing a medical authorization, take a close look at what you’re actually giving them permission to access. Is it limited to the injuries from your accident? Is there a time limit? Or does it give them access to years of medical history that may have nothing to do with your claim?

Don’t sign first and ask questions later. Know what you’re authorizing.
