Litigation is a 5+ Billion $ industry in the US. 💰 5 Reasons Why Juries Are Awarding 💴 Billion-Dollar Verdicts ⚖️ 1. Jurors’ distrust in big corporations and their lawyers 👿 can lead to vengeful verdicts. 2. Attention spans 👀 are shorter, leading to jurors paying less attention to lengthy testimonies and complex explanations. 3. Social media 📱changes how jurors view the court system. 4. Emotional stories 🥹 impact the way a jury thinks. 5. Jurors are asked to look at every case with a ‘What if it were me?’ 😳attitude, influencing how they seek justice. https://lnkd.in/daiZK9rQ

Apropos my previous post, it's right and proper that I point out that I not only appear on the list of members of chambers on the Deans Court Chambers website, but I am now, quite properly, to be found in each of the teams and sub-teams of which I am a full-blown active member, including (but not limited to): https://lnkd.in/d2cfNQBk https://lnkd.in/d_xEX7bY https://lnkd.in/d9QSARxa and https://lnkd.in/dC5uEfny So if you looked at those pages and couldn't see me, the “glitch” (🙄) has been #sorted.

🧡🤍💙 Its time we stop glorifying big verdicts. By doing so, we as trial lawyers are playing straight into the hands of insurance companies, governments and corporations against which we represent our clients. Here’s my suggestion. The money is only compensation and each and every time there is a large verdict a family has lost a loved one or a human being was catastrophically injured. In a trial the plaintiff is not winning. Neither should the defendant. Trials are about fairness and putting the person back to where they were or as close to it as possible. We need to stop glorifying verdicts. As much as they stroke our egos and are good for advertising. We should be cognizant that there is a human beings life behind it who wished they never got hurt, lost a loved one or found themselves in a courtroom. But we are all too familiar with that scenario. A defendant’s all time favorite defense: 1. Blame the victim to death 2. Take Zero responsibility 3. Deny everything to the grave 4. Defend everything to the grave 5. Delay everything 6. Obstruct justice So, we need to make sure when we are reporting a verdict or settlement, that we fully explain the details of the case so the public knows. Who agrees or disagrees with this? 🧡🤍💙 P.S. here’s a photo of me in Anaheim en route to fight the City of Huntington Beach . . . . #trials #verdicts #attorneys #personalinjurylawyer #personalinjuryattorney #triallawyer #trialattorney

I learn so much from working with smart people like Lisa M. Bellino, Peter Querubin, and so many others who contribute every month to DRI's Social Inflation Task Force. More specifically, I am looking forward to next week's webinar in which we will evaluate a few tactics that create an atmosphere of inflated settlement demand and, sometimes, verdicts. Most importantly, we will discuss some thoughts about pushing back against those tactics when defending the professionals and companies that contribute so much to our community.

Best Practices For Untangling Mass Tort Claimants' Liens In the In re: 3M Combat Arms Earplug Products Liability Litigation, U.S. District Judge M. Casey Rodgers approved 3M Co.'s request to issue $1 billion in unregistered stock as part of a $6 billion settlement. However, before plaintiffs receive compensation, their attorneys must navigate the complex process of lien resolution. Liens, legal rights to be paid for debts, often complicate mass tort litigation, as there can be numerous claimants with various liens from government agencies or medical providers. The lien resolution process, crucial for claimants' eligibility for health insurance and financial penalties, can take months or more. The article suggests three best practices for attorneys: starting early to identify potential lienholders, forming a team of lien experts, and gaining negotiating leverage by resolving liens in bulk. Efficient lien resolution is vital to ensuring timely disbursement of settlement funds to claimants. https://lnkd.in/ghqEZ-ZT

Interesting read about challenges to a Priv Log during Discovery Disputes. Judge rules that specificity matters and simply objecting with boilerplate objections won't cut it anymore. Bottom Line: The iterative process of discovery must be collaborative, and disputes settled by the parties themselves are better received by the courts. Know the Sedona Principles and your local rules before objecting to production. #ediscovery #womenintech
