Social Security Disability and Work Comp Hearing Tip

One overlooked aspect of testifying in your disability or Workers’ Compensation case is being likeable.

Many cases are close cases. Meaning that in the Judge’s eyes a small piece of evidence can sway the Judge to deny or approve your case.

It often comes down to how you testify in court before the Judge.

The legal term is whether the witness is credible or believable.

The best way to influence a Judge favorably is to be polite and answer truthfully and in a way the paints the picture of your condition and limitations.

A witness who argues with a Judge, who is evasive, or gives confusing and long winded answers does not help himself.

Judge’s usually do not give witnesses like these the benefit of the doubt.

However, witnesses who treat a Judge with respect, who answer in a straight forward manner and explain what happens to them in a reasonable manner will find that Judge’s will overlook some weaknesses in their case.

It is only human nature that a Judge will find it easier to side with a polite witness who testifies with a ring of truth.

Above all, do not give the Judge a reason to find against you. Instead, make it difficult for the Judge to rule against you.
