Managing Partner Charles E. Wisell recently joined host Gennady Voldz on the Trial Bible podcast to discuss the strategy, preparation, and advocacy behind a $96.5 million verdict in a catastrophic roadway design case.
What initially appeared to be a routine two-vehicle collision revealed a much larger story: a dangerous intersection with 108 prior crashes, years of complaints, and critical questions surrounding the county’s response to known safety concerns.
During the conversation, Charles shares insight into how the case was built from the ground up—from uncovering key evidence and identifying municipal liability to developing trial themes, working with experts, approaching jury selection, and presenting the devastating impact of a traumatic brain injury.
The episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the extensive work that goes into pursuing accountability in a complex catastrophic injury case.
Listen to the full episode to hear Charles break down the case and the trial strategy that helped lead to this landmark result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_sOcShrK8U&list=PLDBghZqtWJSKDSQ7MBQPCP5AAtmU9h4Op
