Preventing Nuclear Verdicts Before Arriving at the Courthouse

Importance of proactively managing discovery to control ridiculous settlements and verdicts.

The nuclear bomb was not created in a day, the same goes for a nuclear settlement or verdict.

• 99% of the time your case will be won or lost during depositions.

• Defending a potentially high exposure case cannot be done on the cheap or entrusted to inexperienced lawyers.

• Case funding is driving more aggressive plaintiff tactics and will cause them to try more cases.

• Discovery failures are avoidable.

• All hope is not lost: having proactive and aggressive defense counsel will put you in a better place to settle the case for a reasonable amount.
