Reptile Theory and Defense Strategies to Plaintiff’s Tactics - Presented by DeWitt LLP and Hosted by HNI Risk Services

Apr 10, 2023

DeWitt attorneys Matthew A. Drewes, Michael C. Glover, Nathan J. Nelson, and John Duncan Varda will discuss how trucking companies can defend against and counter “the Reptile Theory,” a legal strategy that plaintiffs’ attorneys sometimes use to influence the primal – or reptilian – part of jury members’ minds to provoke feelings of danger, then suggest ruling against the defendant to eliminate the danger.

To attend as a guest of DeWitt LLP, online or in person, please RSVP to Nuzhat Noor by April 17th at nnoor@dewittllp.com. For those wishing to attend online, we will send you the link.

One of the best features about our website articles and blog entries is that they are timely—you get up-to-date information on the law as it exists at the time. The downside is that the law changes, but our older entries don't. That means we can't guarantee you are getting the most current law when reading through past entries. Please don't take these articles and blog entries and rely on them as legal advice. Give us a call instead, for specific and pointed advice for your particular situation.
