In a significant premises liability case, two attorneys from Marietta, Georgia, who turned down a $60,000 settlement offer, achieved a $1.8 million jury verdict. This compensation was awarded to their client who suffered a broken pinky finger. The case was presented before a Clayton County State Court jury.
Drew Gilliland, lead plaintiff counsel at Nick Schnyder Law Firm, elaborated on their trial strategy. “If you have a good client and a corporate defendant that has not preserved evidence or has mishandled evidence, then a case with bad facts can become a strong case,” he asserted. The successful trial methods that led to this seven-figure outcome shed light on how critical evidence management can impact legal proceedings.
