In this episode of TortsCenter, hosts Carla Varriale-Barker and Courtney Dunn sit down with Segal McCambridge Shareholder Paul Motz to discuss the escalating trend of nuclear and thermonuclear verdicts—and how defense attorneys can adapt. Paul shares practical insights on trial strategy, voir dire, early expert engagement, and why the defense bar must embrace a proactive approach to damages. The conversation also explores how litigation funding, generational jury bias, and insurer dynamics are shaping the litigation landscape.
