From $350k Offer to Record Verdict: Winning Strategies in an $82M Trucking Case - Live Webinar

Description

Join us for a free, live webinar with the trial team that secured an $82 million jury verdict in a $350k offer double-amputation case involving a truck vs. motorcycle crash. Attorneys for this case included George Sidiropolis, Aaron DeShaw, Michael Leizerman, Jon Bond, Jeff Bruzzese, and John Camillus. This verdict is the largest trucking accident verdict in Ohio and one of the largest amputation verdicts in the country.

This disputed liability left-turn case involved significant challenges, including unfavorable police reports, an unfavorable highway patrol crash reconstruction, and a lack of lane lines in the intersection.

The presenters will discuss key moments in prelitigation and trial, including:

• Multiple demand letters provided by DeShaw, giving the opposition plenty of opportunities to settle within the policy limits before trial
  
• Opening statement and closing argument
  
• Key deposition by Leizerman of the truck driver paving the way for a win on liability
  
• Sidiropolis’s 30(b)(6) depositions of the two corporations over issues regarding training, education, accident prevention, and more
  
• Crucial motions in limine by Bond
  
• Bruzzese’s local insights
  
• Informative focus groups completed by Camillus
  
• Making complex injuries less complex in trial
  
• Using visual demonstratives, including graphics of the road and medical imaging
  
• Key lay witness testimony, expert witnesses, and sequencing witnesses
  
• A crash reconstruction expert who highlighted evidence missed by the police and defense experts 

Join the trial team as they discuss how they tackled key litigation challenges and more.
