Date: March 19th, 2018 10:12 AM Author: Motley Locus You can get punitive damages if the defendant was drunk at the time. Its pretty common knowledge, fellas.

well, tell me more about your plaintiff (race, sex, age) and the defendant (same) and I will tell you who you want on the jury |
|
Date: March 19th, 2018 10:19 AM Author: Motley Locus Okay. Its a great case. School nurse w about 23k in specials. Defendant hit her running a red light, hit another car too. Didn't stop, drove home and cops followed scattered debris to his house. He had kid in car. Open bottle on front seat. Failed sobriety test. Refused bac. Didn't stop at time of accident cause "too much trouble". Admitted to drinking all night and smoking weed. SUBSEQUENT DUI CONVICTION after this one which is admissible as fuck. $250k in UM coverage. Plaintiff is nurse, lots of diagnostic, some PT, an odd medication related syncope a.month later but doc related it all. Carrier is at $95k and I'm at $195k but I'm psyched to try it if th dont settle w proper number. |

Date: March 19th, 2018 10:29 AM Author: Canary church all you need are moms. they will be pissed as shit at dude who drove drukn with kid in the car. kid in the car is your best fact, voir dire for people who care about kids
"who here has babysat? taught?" etc
if judge lets you, get into parkland.... adult rights (guns, drinking) vs. kids being put at risk
you want women and other fags who want the govt to make this a safe, risk-proof world for their precious kids. Divorced women esp if the drunk himself is divorced |

Date: March 19th, 2018 10:33 AM Author: Canary church yeah, where was the mom. best case is the dad and mom and divorced and he had some custody agreement and took the kid out while he was drinking and smoking weed and hitting your client. Then get some divorced women on your panel (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3916313&forum_id=2#35636961) |

Date: March 19th, 2018 11:14 AM Author: Talented drab school your questionnaire should already cover whether they have kids, what their job is, education level, etc so your real VD question needs to be how they feel about punitive damages. a lot of people are just flat-out against punitives and will say so if asked.
from your info you want white moms. maybe a hispanic mom or two. responsible dads aren't a bad idea either. on the other hand, i think younger jurors are more likely to want to give bigger verdicts. can't really explain why. |

Date: March 19th, 2018 12:03 PM Author: Talented drab school aren't you in CA? i've done questionnaires in multiple CA superior courts.
maybe its a judge by judge thing
in that case ask about kids and jobs. you want PTA moms. ask about PTA involvement/participation in kids' lives. |
|
Date: March 19th, 2018 12:12 PM Author: Motley Locus No. I wish I was. People have gotten $100k punitives on $4k worth of specials on dui here. They've also gotten $10k on punies w $50k in specials.

Date: March 19th, 2018 12:17 PM Author: Talented drab school oh, for some reason i thought you were in the soulless sprawl areas of OC/inland LA.
your CQ line is something like "do you believe punitive damages are proper in some circumstances? then "how many kids do you have? boys/girls? what ages? lot of activities? how do you stay involved in their lives?"
you might also want to tease out where they live or what school district they're in (or more obliquely if 'school district' was a major factor in where they live - maybe something like "[Plaintiff] is a school nurse - are you familiar with public schools around here? How?" to determine if they're going to fear/hate a black defbro more |

Date: March 22nd, 2018 4:19 PM Author: Motley Locus Ortho is only going to say what he can say to a reasonable degree of medical likelihood. He cant say things that dont meet that level of certitude though! It doesn't matter where he goes to school if he cant say more likely than not of the diagnosis, causation, etc.

Date: March 19th, 2018 11:17 AM Author: copper volcanic crater Is your main problem jury sympathy or proving intoxication? Without the kid I would think a hit and run driver who hurts the plaintiff and fails a field sobriety test would be money in the bank in terms of the jury sympathies/motivations, and the kid takes it from 100% lock to 200% might be a risk that jurors try to fight him at the trial. Also, isn't there some risk the Ins company can say punitives for DUI aren't covered, and you're left trying to recover from the pockets of this presumably very wealthy and educated individual? Or is this an ins company with true morons writing their policy exclusions or some jurisdiction where they can't exclude. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3916313&forum_id=2#35637185) |

Date: March 20th, 2018 9:50 AM Author: Sickened Grizzly Stock Car Can I ask an ignorant question - what is the point of punitives if you're suing the victim's insurer under uninsured motorist? I get you want the money, but why would the legal system allow punitives that aren't paid by the perpetrator or at least the perpetrator's insurance company? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3916313&forum_id=2#35644107) |
|
Date: March 20th, 2018 10:41 AM Author: Motley Locus Well, presence or absence of insurance is technically not admissible, nor can defendant say he would have to pay "out of his own pocket." UM carrier seeks subrogation from defendant after UM pays on any judgment, fwiw. And that is Nondischargeable in bankruptcy if it is punitive damages. |
|
Date: March 20th, 2018 9:52 AM Author: Sickened Grizzly Stock Car Is the kid in the car relevant? Is there a risk the judge would exclude that as having nothing to do with causation or extent of the victim's damages? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3916313&forum_id=2#35644118) |
|
Date: March 20th, 2018 10:38 AM Author: Motley Locus It's a great question and you are on the right track. Yes, a motion will come up, I'm sure, but it's relevant because I have to prove the degree of intoxication and this goes to defendant's impaired judgment. More on the punies side, the jury SHOULD know both the good and the bad about the collision, in order to fashion an appropriate punitives award, which serves to punish, dissuade, and send a message on behalf of the community at large. How can they do this if they don't have all the facts about ALL the lives defendant chose to endanger. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3916313&forum_id=2#35644372) |
