New York medical malpractice and personal injury trial attorney Gerry Oginski talks about what a mistrial is and why an attorney would ask for a mistrial.

The last thing you want to hear when going through a trial is that you have to do it over again.

Trials take a lot of time, effort, and resources. It's a long process. But sometimes a mistake is made in the trial and it needs to be redone. This is not a common occurrence as much as you hear it on television.

Retrials cost money and time. There must be a good reason to declare a mistrial. Maybe the jury heard something that cannot be recovered from, they're now tainted.

Maybe the jury can't make a decision and are deadlocked. There are several reasons why a mistrial can be called, but those are the two most common. The decision for a mistrial must be given by a judge and all the factors -- money and time of all parties -- are considered when agreeing to another trial proceeding.
