Kansas Wants to Stop Anchoring - Will Your State Do the Same? With Tom Dickerson

"I think this is coming to a place near you," warns Tom Dickerson, trial attorney leading the fight against sweeping tort reform in Kansas. A bill would prohibit plaintiff lawyers from requesting any dollar amount for non-economic damages. With hosts Alicia Campbell and Nick Schweitzer, Tom describes his effort to fight it. And Nick describes his research that counters the argument of the bill’s supporters: “Anchoring isn't really a big deal, and it doesn't really happen, and jurors aren't just blindly doing this – but when you take it away, you have worse outcomes.” Because anti-anchoring could come “to a place near you,” Tom urges all lawyers to be ready to fight. “First and foremost, everybody needs to get involved in their trial lawyers organization.”Connect with Fred☑️ Tom Dickerson | LinkedIn☑️ Dickerson Oxton | LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube☑️ Alicia Campbell☑️ Nick Schweitzer☑️ Focus with Fred☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeProduced and Powered by LawPods
