A Revised Look at Safety in the Courtroom: Lessons from $462 Million Wabash Verdict
Webinar Description:
Join ATA's upcoming Law Review webinar as we explore the recent $462 million Wabash verdict (recently reduced to $119.5 million) that is creating industry wide concern with clips from inside the Courtroom. Discussion will include how the Plaintiffs’ attorneys used Wabash’s involvement in industry associations to generate juror anger. We will also explore the concept of monetizing life and how that can be used effectively to argue liability in almost every accident scenario.
Walk away with a better understanding of how your company might be attacked by skilled trial lawyers and what you can do today to get ahead of these attacks.
A recording will be provided to all approved registrants post webinar even if you are not able to attend.
