HM&B Partner Jerry Hamilton Presents Webinar on Nuclear Verdicts for CLM’s CLM Way Special Day of Learning

Year after year, plaintiffs’ attorneys develop creative strategies and arguments to convince juries to award astronomical verdicts. Why is there a rise in “Nuclear Verdicts?” What can we do to stop this disturbing trend? The defense industry has to change. This interactive panel of defense lawyers and insurance company executives discuss the root causes of this verdict trend and concrete strategies to disarm plaintiffs’ arguments and prevent runaway jury verdicts. Join the discussion to learn how to identify and defeat plaintiffs’ attempts to anger the jury. This group will discuss effective methods to provide a defense number to the jury, even when requesting a defense verdict. The conversation will also include several other methods to argue noneconomic damages and defuse anger including trial themes, taking responsibility, and personalizing the corporate client.
