In a notable development within personal injury law, a last-minute “high-low” agreement secured by attorneys for an injured motorcyclist has significantly increased the awarded damages in a case involving a crash caused by a postal worker. The “high-low” agreement, often employed in litigation to manage risk for both parties, resulted in an additional $10 million on top of a $26 million verdict. This strategic move highlights the potential impact of such agreements on case outcomes. The details of this matter and its implications have been outlined in Law360’s Tort Report, which covers the latest in personal injury and medical malpractice cases. This report is particularly relevant for legal professionals seeking insights into the tactical maneuvers possible within this field.
