Opening Statement of the Week: Todd Miller in Chapman v. Parikh
Posted by Arlin Crisco on Nov 17, 2014 9:53:00 AM
The Trial: Chapman v. Parikh.
The Attorney: Todd Miller, for the defendant.
The defense in a wrongful death medical malpractice case faces a mountain of hurdles, especially when the case involves the death of a child. The defense must overcome the jury's natural sympathy toward the plaintiff, as well as jurors' inclination to believe a litany of plaintiff experts second-guessing your defendant's medical decisions. Todd Miller's opening statement on behalf of Dr. Snehal Parikh is a powerful lesson in how to help the jury examine conflicting medical opinions with an objective, discerning eye.
