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.

Goldberg Segalla partner and co-chair of the firm’s Management & Professional Liability practice group, Peter Biging will be speaking at the CLM Alliance (Claims and Litigation Management Alliance) Annual Conference on April 4. During his session “From the Bottomless Ocean of Litigation Data: Addressing Ethical, Practical, and Cost Concerns,” Peter and his fellow panelists will discuss the challenges posed by the ever-expanding sources of potentially relevant litigation data, and how to address them in a systematic, thoughtful, comprehensive, and cost-effective manner. The panel discussion Peter will be leading is recommended for both the folks who litigate claims, and claims professionals who need to manage claims defense in a way that intelligently balances the needs of litigation in a data saturated world with needs to do so smartly, efficiently and cost-effectively. 🔗: https://bit.ly/3IV4QKU

🚨Verdict Alert   Tricia Payne, Pensacola-Hub Partner, and Megan “Maggie” Colter, Tampa-Hub Partner, achieved a significant victory for our client by securing dismissal in the initial case through thorough discovery and presentation of compelling evidence that refuted multiple claims. This resulted in obtaining dispositive relief and a summary judgment, ultimately saving our client a substantial amount of money and preempting the need for a jury trial. Despite the plaintiff's appeal of the initial decision, Tricia maintained her focus and enlisted Maggie to assist in drafting the appeal and navigating the case. Drawing upon their rich history in tort, specifically premises liability, they presented a strong case from the start achieving a summary judgment that eventually led to a successful outcome in a subsequent appeal.   At QPWB, we not only represent the truth, but we advocate for it, always ready to challenge and diligently pursue justice. Tricia and Maggie's proven determination and ability to navigate and succeed in complex legal battles showcase their rich history in premise liability. They not only expose and challenge biases within the legal system but also ensure a just outcome despite initial obstacles, making a meaningful difference in favor of our clients and setting a precedent that protects their pursuit of justice.    Read the full posting on our site to discover how the QPWB difference can make a significant impact on complex cases in premise liability and beyond.   Read the Full Verdict Alert here: https://lnkd.in/gZd5huDY   Learn more about Tricia Payne here: https://lnkd.in/ge48wtzJ Learn more about Maggie Colter here: https://lnkd.in/eMWhCtQC   #QPWBdifferent #QPWBattorney #LegalVictory #AppealVerdict #JuryVerdict #LegalInnovation
