In Arizona, you generally have 15 days after the jury's verdict to file a JNOV or request a new trial, so it’s crucial to act quickly!
If your JNOV request is denied, the next step may be to pursue a new trial, where you can argue again that there were significant issues that affected the outcome.
You must show that those statements likely affected the jury's decision, making it hard for them to be impartial.
Prejudicial statements are comments or information presented during the trial that unfairly sway the jury's opinion against one party.
It means that if the court doesn't grant the JNOV, you want them to order a new trial, often because you believe there were mistakes that unfairly influenced the verdict.
You can file a JNOV after the jury has given its verdict, typically when you believe that no reasonable jury could have reached that decision.
A JNOV is a legal request asking the court to overturn the jury's decision because the evidence doesn't back up the verdict.
