Million Dollar Breakdown: $100M Verdict in Wrongful Death Case
with Thomas Hasty
In this episode, Thomas Hasty breaks down the facts and trial strategy that led to a $100 million wrongful death and negligent security verdict after rejecting a $1 million pre-trial settlement offer. Hasty walks through how prior criminal activity on the property, withheld incident information, and failures in communication between property management, security, and the community board established foreseeability and liability. The discussion covers pretrial strategy, including voir dire in a case involving both murder and negligence, proving foreseeability through security expert testimony, assigning fault across multiple parties, and the decision to take the case to trial on behalf of five surviving family members.
