Morgan & Morgan attorney Michael Woodard breaks down how his team secured a record-setting verdict in Lake County, Florida, after Publix denied liability in a slip-and-fall case. In this episode, Woodward explains how his team linked nerve-related symptoms to cervical injuries using medical records, exposed defense delays over surveillance video, used the client’s life story to humanize damages, and approached jury selection in a conservative venue to seat jurors open to non-economic awards. This verdict shows how persistence, preparation, and credibility can overcome tough venues and corporate-level defense tactics.
