What does it take to turn a contested slip and fall case into a nearly $5.9 million jury verdict?
Steve Williamson, a New York trial lawyer and personal injury attorney, shares the story behind a Queens apartment-building accident that became a month-long jury trial. From proving liability and overcoming insurance company defense tactics to helping an injured mother tell the human story behind her injuries, Steve explains how credibility, preparation, and trial strategy shaped the outcome.
Steve discusses why insurance companies often challenge legitimate injury claims, how juries evaluate credibility, and why preparing clients to testify truthfully can be just as important as presenting medical evidence. He also shares lessons on jury selection, trial preparation, and why the most powerful evidence in a courtroom is often the client's own story.
