Our HB Litigation brand has posted a timely webinar focusing nuclear verdicts—those exceeding $10M— which are becoming more common, leaving defendants at risk of staggering losses. Even when the defense wins, the stakes are higher than ever, and plaintiffs often face the tough choice of risking everything at trial. But is there a better way to achieve justice? Register for the CLE OnDemand webinar to delve deeper into this trending topic in litigation. #HBLitigation #litigation #nuclearverdict #insurance #legaleducation
According to professionals in the insurance industry and the defense bar, the number of nuclear verdicts, or verdicts that exceed $10M, is on the rise. Although the defense may prevail over plaintiffs more often at trial, when the defense loses, they lose big. And plaintiffs who could have obtained needed resources in settlement, sometimes "roll the dice" at trial and get less, or nothing at all. Do clients really want to engage in such high stakes showdowns? Is there a better way to administer "justice?" Our CLE webinar done in partnership with the West LegalEdcenter featuring Mediator Arbitrator, Jeff Trueman, Esq. and Negotiation Educator and Author, John Lowry addresses these very questions. Register for the on-demand webinar today and come away with a better understanding of the rise of nuclear verdicts and how to avoid them, considering both the strategic and psychological factors at play. https://bit.ly/3YDYUit #nuclearverdict #defenseverdict #insurance #claims #mediation #negotiation #emerginglitigation #legaleducation #hblitigation
