A case in which the trial of the liability issue in a personal injury or wrongful death case is heard separate from and prior to trial of the damages in question. A bifurcated trial in such a case is advantageous because if the defendant is not found liable, there is no need to spend the money or time in the presentation of proof and witnesses on the issue of damages. In criminal procedure, a bifurcated trial is useful where the issues of sanity and guilt or guilt and punishment must be decided.
