Webinar: How You Can Prevent a
Nuclear Verdict

Your playbook for staying off the deposition chair.

Thursday March 25, 2021 | 12:00pm - 1:00pm EST

 

About The Event

According to a 2020 ATRI study*, Nuclear Verdicts (awards of over $1M to plaintiffs) between the years 2005 and 2011 totaled 79.

That number has dramatically increased to 265 between 2012 and 2019.

Plaintiff attorneys are getting better each day at repeating a formula that successfully paints the motor carrier as a big bad corporation with no regard for human safety. Learn their “reptilian theory” and how to successfully defend against it.

We’ve assembled a team of experts to be your guides who will provide you with a playbook to execute so you can stay off the news as the next victim.

*ATRI Research conducted was out of a sample of 600 "Nuclear Verdict" cases
