What is my role in a catastrophic injury trial?
In a catastrophic injury trial in New Mexico, your role could vary depending on the situation. If you have been injured in a catastrophic injury and are filing a lawsuit, you are the plaintiff – this means you are the person or party bringing the lawsuit into court. As the plaintiff, you may be called to provide testimony, evidence or witnesses to help prove your case. If your case goes to trial, you may be asked to testify about your injury and the circumstances that led to it. You may also need to present medical records, photographs, and other evidence to prove your case. Additionally, if there are witnesses to the catastrophic injury, you will likely be asked to call them to testify in court.

You may be called to testify as an expert witness, providing your opinion on the accident or injury. You may be called to testify as a fact witness, providing testimony about the events leading up to the injury. In any case, your role in a catastrophic injury trial will depend on the situation.
