Most lawyers focus on how to argue damages.
Very few spend enough time truly understanding the loss.
And jurors can feel that.
In this week's episode, I break down the 3 components every damages argument needs:
Understanding the loss
Valuing the loss
Communicating the loss
We also talk about:
Why metaphor matters
How small stories hit harder than big explanations
A simple framework I use to think about non-economic damages
Because damages aren't about formulas.
They're about helping jurors understand what was taken.
Love,
Sari
P.S. If this episode hit home for you, my live webinar on May 28th is going even deeper into how the H2H Method™ helps jurors connect to what actually matters in trial. We're going beyond the FHTH book and into what works in today's courtrooms.

"When everything says trial should be this very formal, sterile process, we have to fight against that. It's a very human process. The things jurors talk about in voir dire — family, health, purpose, connection — those are the exact things your plaintiff lost."
