Closing Argument: $24.5 Million Medical Malpractice Verdict - The Haggard Law Firm - Todd Michaels

Haggard Law Firm trial lawyer Todd Michaels closing argument in a recent medical malpractice trial in Broward County that resulted in a $24.5 Million verdict. Michaels and attorney Danny Harwin's client is the family of Lilia Torres who died in July 2015, following massive bleeding while giving birth. The Courtroom View Network wrote about the closing "Arguing damages stemming solely from non-economic loss can be difficult: A jury has no hard set of numbers to use as a starting point in calculating an award, while surviving plaintiffs' ability to cope following an incident can be used as an argument to mitigate non-economic loss. However, in closings of a 2019 damages-only trial over the death of a Florida mother hours after childbirth, Todd Michaels secured an eight-figure win by upending a defense contention on non-economic loss." #leadership #justice #trial #lawyers #haggardlawfirm
