Damages caps can be kryptonite for your case. Not only can they greatly reduce your client’s ability to receive fair compensation for a serious injury, but they can severely limit your claim over noneconomic damages. 

Join Kansas City personal injury lawyer Thomas J. Dickerson, cofounder of Dickerson Oxton and of counsel at Trial Lawyers For Justice, as he lays out a new methodology for overcoming damages caps. This novel technique, developed with the help of an economist, flips the script on traditional damages arguments and paves the way for full, fair compensation. 

Using this methodology, Dickerson achieved one of the highest settlements in state history in a recent trucking case. His clients were awarded $21 million, despite a state damages cap of  $250,000 on noneconomic damages.

This step-by-step approach will show you how to:

• Reframe losses in terms of economic versus noneconomic damages
• Provide the jury with objective calculations for damages
• Anticipate and defuse defense challenges that stem from this approach

This presentation is especially valuable for practitioners in states with wrongful death damages caps or states with wrongful death damages caps on medical malpractice cases.
