People have common misconceptions about how trials occur. Most trials on television or in the movies are over in an hour but truthfully they take much longer than that. A minor car accident trial could take up to a week to complete with all the testimony and expert witnesses that are involved. If the case is more complex or the injuries are serious then it could take weeks or months for the trial to end.
A trial must first start with jury selection where each side gets to talk to all the potential jurors and decide which ones they want to keep and which ones they want to exclude. Once the jurors are selected then both parties get to tell the jurors their opening statement. Once the opening statements are concluded then the evidence is submitted to the jury. The evidence can come from witness testimony, medical personnel discussing the plaintiff’s injuries, and/or expert witnesses such as engineers or accident reconstructionists.
