The tip of the day for October 10th, 2025, comes from the on-demand “How to Meet & Defeat Challenges of Medical Malpractice Cases” from Keith Mitnik. Start watching today: https://tr.ee/reuvYV

“Sympathy cuts far more for the doctors usually than for our side. You know why? Even though in a med. mal. you often have a very sympathetic injury and plaintiff, the jury's thinking,'Well, the injury's already done. I had nothing to do with it. I feel bad for him, but I'm not responsible for it. But if I bring back a verdict on this doctor and ruin their career, that's on me' So the sympathy becomes inflicted by the jurors."

When you get to the next break, you can check with the reporter or [...] transcript to be sure that the answer was as good for you as you first thought it was."

“It takes discipline to focus on the defendants’ conduct. [.) We naturally gravitate toward themes focused on the undeserved suffering and loss [our clients] have endured and will continue to endure. While these themes are necessary in the case, the more critical theme must be focused on the defendant's conduct, not the victim's. Anger is a greater motivator than sympathy, empathy, or sorrow for the victim."
