Yarborough Applegate attorney Liam Duffy was invited to speak at a continuing legal education (CLE) seminar for the Kentucky Justice Association on “Expert Witness Litigation” earlier this month. His virtual talk addressed the topic of Working with Experts to Increase Case Value.
A personal injury attorney and trial lawyer, Duffy drew on his professional experience as he detailed best practices on working with experts, including how to select the right experts and maximize their involvement, from early case investigation all the way through trial. His talk provided attendees with other strategies for success, including taking a storytelling approach to a client’s case and how to extract value from the opposing side’s experts.
At Yarborough Applegate, our attorneys are proud industry leaders who relish opportunities to learn, share, and collaborate with other lawyers across the country. We know at the end of the day, participation in seminars such as this one enables us to better serve those we’re here to protect.
The organization’s motto, “Advocates for Fairness Under the Law,” illustrates the simple mission of trial lawyers serving those who they have sworn to protect.
His talk provided attendees with practical tips for spotting these kinds of cases, working them up aggressively to improve results, and ultimately trying them to a jury.
