Law Offices of Jason Waechter

Born in Detroit, raised, educated and practiced all in Michigan. My father was keen on not “giving me a fish but teaching me how to fish.” Married with two kids for 17 years and divorced. Remarried and have traveled the world since. In the last 6 years, we’ve been to England, France, Italy, Monaco, Spain, Thailand, Singapore, Iceland, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Amsterdam, Jamaica, Vatican, Brazil, Peru, Czech Republic, Holland, Austria, Mexico, and Canada. Developed the brand: TheMotorcycleLawyer.com Pam’s husband and Audrey’s (age 24) and Jack’s (age 21) dad. I co-own a Mixed Martial Arts gym and have just earned a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu after 15 years of nonstop training. So proud to report I used many TLU lessons to achieve a record, all non-economic jury verdict of $27,500,000 for a motorcyclist injured by a distracted driver.

Case Analysis: $27,500,000 Verdict - Auto v Motorcycle

Case Analysis: $27,500,000 Verdict - Auto v Motorcycle

(Includes $2,000,000 Loss of Consortium Verdict)

From discovery to verdict with Big Data.
A distracted driver on her cellphone hit our client was hit while on his motorcycle.The biker’s leg had to be emergently amputated above the knee.

The motorcyclist did not have a motorcycle license, tested positive for marijuana and post-accident medical records indicated he smoked marijuana daily.Defense allegations included:failure to mitigate, not treating for psychological damages, not trying hard enough, staying in bed and playing video games, not returning to some kind of work, failing to get vocational training or education to reenter the workplace and that there was no loss of consortium.

Big Data was done which guided us to make all the critical decisions such as negotiating the high/low agreement, the admission of evidence, whether certain facts mattered for an increased verdict, and the money asks for both the injury claim and the loss of consortium claim.

One hour presentation will focus on:

  • Prep your client for deposition to defeat the assertion that motorcycles are hard to see.
  • The effective ways we asked for money damages at trial.
  • The effective demonstrative aids used at trial.
  • Important medical information about lower limb amputations.
  • Combat the defense’s attempt to admit liability and exclude evidence of distraction.
  • How to find ALL the insurance.
  • The story we developed for our case.
  • Loss of Consortium
  • Defeated the defense’s Nuclear-Verdicts-playbook.
