Litigation often overlaps with psychology, especially in injury litigation. Accidents, injuries, and death have ripple effects that influence how plaintiffs are perceived, how defendants react, and how witnesses perform. Everything is connected. Litigators, claims professionals, anyone involved in the process should know psychological principles are consciously and unconsciously weaponized to maximize damages and achieve “success” no matter the cost.
