Renowned trucking accident lawyer Joe Fried tried the second case in the nation and the first in Georgia to test Amazonâs claims that it has no responsibility for its driversâ conduct.
The result was a $16.2 million verdict against Amazon for pain and suffering endured by his clientâs son, an 8-year-old boy who was run over by a delivery van. As Joe explains to host Michael Cowen, the groundbreaking case offers unique teaching opportunities for plaintiffsâ lawyers. Among the successful strategies: his teamâs focus on exposing how the driver was himself a victim of Amazon, which places drivers under immense pressure. âThe jury agreed with us on that in that regard.â
Both Joe and Michael will share their insights about trucking accident law this fall.
First, Joe will discuss the Amazon case at the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys Annual Symposium, to be held in Nashville from September 25 to 27.
Then, Joe and Michael will join the faculty at TLU Vegas, October 16-19 at Caesars Palace. Joe will present about the case, and Michael will lead a masterclass on trucking.

Think of focus groups as macro â exposing holes in the case and main issues from the jurorsâ perspectives. Think of big data as micro â revealing the win rate, the ask, the possible outcome in terms of money.

The conversation with host Michael Cowen dovetails with Jessicaâs first appearance on the show, when she shared her insights about how jurors make decisions and how to frame cases persuasively.

âStatistics suck. Stories stick.â
For Bruce Inosencio, this motto proved a north star guiding his case against a Michigan nursing home. With host Michael Cowen, Bruce acknowledges the challenge he faced: How to prove that the facility owed damages when the patient was an elderly, sick woman?
To do so, he and his legal team connected with the jurors so theyâd be invested in the story of the 87-year-old womanâs life. He combatted the defense argument that an elderly womanâs life was somehow less valuable. The statistics of her experience at the facility mattered, but the stories that Bruce told drove the verdict. They awarded $6 million to her surviving daughters, a record in Michigan. Tune in to hear Bruce explain why the story, not statistics, won the day.

In trial, you have to be ready and just accept the fact that things are never going to be perfect. Theyâre never going to go the way you planned it.
In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, Michael Cowen and Malorie Peacock share their strategies (as well as the hiccups they overcame) from their recent $4M verdict on a trucking wrongful death case, where only 10% of the fault was put on their client for rear-ending a tractor trailer. They detail how they âarmed their expertsâ so that the jury wasnât skeptical of expert testimony in this expert-heavy case. They also share how they successfully minimized comparative fault, and how they presented damages in a way that made an emotional impact. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the value of the healing aspect of the trial process for clients.

Can lawyers really get cases from their podcasts? Robert Ingalls built a business banking on just that. In this episode of Trial Lawyer Nation, host Michael Cowen welcomes LawPods CEO and Founder (and recovering lawyer) Robert Ingalls to discuss how lawyers are using podcasts to fuel their businesses and personal brands.
Podcasts have the ability to create an immediate connection between the hosts and their audiences. Informal conversations on a podcast give lawyers a unique opportunity to convey emotion and build rapport with their listeners, an area where corporate videos and other promotional materials often fall short.
