Learn how to spot your next million-dollar slip and fall. When a woman fell on the front steps of her rental house and broke her back. Her landlord denied fault and refused to add a handrail placing 100 % blame on the tenant. Listen to how keeping things simple paid off by taking your worst facts and making them your best facts resulting in a 1.1 million settlement.
Teaching Points:
1. Case selection: picking the right case and why it’s not always obvious.
2. Discovering the story: how to find facts you need to show the jury.
3. Jury instructions and experts: shaping your case around the law prevents dismissal and helps get your evidence admitted.
4. Keep it simple: avoid making the case complex, which favors the defense. Be relentlessly simple.
5. Be ready to fight: call out the bad behavior and show you can push it to the one audience that scares them most - the jury.
