On this episode of Trial Bible, Gennady Voldz interviews renowned trial attorney Charles Wisell about the strategy behind securing a $96.5 million verdict in a catastrophic injury case that challenged the assumption that the crash was caused solely by the drivers.
By looking beyond the collision itself, Charles discovered a dangerous roadway design, a history of more than 108 prior crashes, and evidence that allowed the jury to hold a municipality accountable for creating an unreasonably dangerous intersection.
Throughout the conversation, Charles provides an inside look at how plaintiff trial lawyers can uncover hidden liability, simplify complex engineering concepts for juries, and build compelling themes that resonate in the courtroom.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to identify hidden defendants in motor vehicle cases
- Using FOIL requests to uncover critical evidence
- Developing and testing trial themes through focus groups
- Overcoming qualified immunity in roadway design litigation
- Simplifying complex engineering testimony for jurors
- Building credibility during voir dire and opening statement
- Cross-examination strategies that expose defense weaknesses
- Presenting catastrophic injury damages without overwhelming the jury
- Crafting closing arguments that tie liability and damages together
- Lessons young trial lawyers can immediately apply in their next trial
Whether you’re a seasoned plaintiff trial lawyer, a newer attorney looking to sharpen your courtroom skills, or someone interested in how catastrophic injury cases are built, this episode offers an in-depth look at the preparation, strategy, and advocacy behind a landmark verdict.
