BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Why reject a $750,000 offer and trust a jury with a difficult brain injury case?
In the second half of the Hickey v. Harrington conversation, Miles Cooper asks Michael Stephenson, Lucy Allen, and Blake Bostwick of Bay Area Bicycle Law how they chose a jury, handled a sympathetic driver, and tested potential jurors' views of preexisting conditions and large awards.

They discuss a defense expert's concession about the client's ability to work, the limits of a short neuropsychological test in a quiet setting, and why the client's testimony and photographs carried weight. Finally, Michael explains why the team left the damages figure blank in closing and gave jurors a way to calculate it themselves. The jury awarded more than $12 million.
