The Scarcity Principle: Dirk Vandever's Framework for Wrongful Death Verdicts

The key to winning a big verdict in a wrongful death case often lies in showing jurors the opposite of big money: scarcity. What is it that the decedent didn’t have? It could have been the last lick of ice cream. Or getting their affairs in order. Whether they were 20 or 80, they lost valuable parts of life. Dirk Vandever suggests that the job of the plaintiff’s lawyer is to put a value on that scarcity. In this conversation with host Charla Aldous, he explains how he’s done it in his successful wrongful death practice over the past 50 years. Tune in as he unpacks his "two oaths" approach to unlocking honest panel responses and his two-word advice for young lawyers.
