Struck on an airport tarmac by a fueling vehicle, the United Airlines worker suffered catastrophic injuries. “The worst-hurt person I've ever seen in my life,” recalled his lawyer, Randall Sorrels.
When Randall sued the fueling vehicle company and its driver, he faced a high-powered defense firm, and a famous defense lawyer, that sought to keep the verdict low by using a so-called “nuclear verdict defense.” To host Dan Ambrose, Randall reveals how he and his law firm partner and wife, Alex, foiled the attack. Relying on a blend of strategy (putting the defendant’s corporate representative as the first witness), smart advice (listening to a jury consultant who advised him to keep a juror he wanted to strike), and a little luck (finding a mock juror who had sat through the defense’s mock trial), they transformed a lowball offer of $5 million into a jury verdict of $353 million.
