When Data Shows You the Real “Bad Actor,” with Brian Aleinikoff
Manage episode 520480477 series 3660088
When Brian Aleinikoff represented a 16-year-old girl who was paralyzed after falling from a chairlift, he leveraged a big data report that made it clear: He had to reframe the case to focus on the true “bad actor” – not the chairlift operator but the “multi-gajillion-dollar corporation” itself. As he explains in this case breakdown with hosts Alicia Campbell and Nick Schweitzer, skiers who enjoy expensive resorts don’t want to believe that a lift operator isn’t paying attention. “They want to believe that these lift operators are trained appropriately, but sometimes they're not. And that's what we really had to focus in on and convince the jury of.” The jury was convinced, awarding $21.5 million against the resort.
