Trial Lawyer Nation 158 - Malorie Peacock – A Case is About the Jurors: Winning a Tough Wrongful Death Case
In trial, you have to be ready and just accept the fact that things are never going to be perfect. They’re never going to go the way you planned it.
In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael Cowen and Malorie Peacock share their strategies (as well as the hiccups they overcame) from their recent $4M verdict on a trucking wrongful death case, where only 10% of the fault was put on their client for rear-ending a tractor trailer. They detail how they “armed their experts” so that the jury wasn’t skeptical of expert testimony in this expert-heavy case. They also share how they successfully minimized comparative fault, and how they presented damages in a way that made an emotional impact. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the value of the healing aspect of the trial process for clients.
