Stratton Horres and Karen Bashor will address the trend of shock verdicts in a March 2, 2023, webinar, “Aftershocks: How Shock Verdicts Are Resulting in Outrageous Settlements.” These settlements are wreaking havoc on the insurance industry – $150 million settlement of a two-fatality death case in an 18-wheeler accident and the largest verdict in the country involving the stabling death of an 83-year-old female customer of a cable TV company by an employee on an off-the-clock service call, which resulted in a total jury verdict of $7.375 billion and a judgment over $1.1 billion. Stratton and Karen advise we buckle up because 2023 is shaping up to be worse. In this program they will also discuss alternative defense strategies to counter this trend.
