Some Difficulties With Verdict Form
It’s always nice to work with ( against) adverse counsel who respect others and the Justice System. This Trial involves two personal injury car accidents. There is no liability in one; liability is contested in the other.
In addition, the law in Nevada calls for joint and several liability for any injuries the Jury finds are related to BOTH accidents UNLESS the Jury can apportion those damages between the accidents.
This makes does somewhat complex Jury Verdict form. This is where cooperative counsel comes in handy. Hopefully, we’ll continue to work together to come up with a( relatively) simple Verdict form that covers all of the various combinations of liable, damages and ( if possible) apportionment.
