Will represented an on-site safety contractor at an energy substation that involved the unfortunate electrocution death of a worker. After the end of evidence and right before closing, Will’s client was presented a favorable settlement opportunity that was accepted by the insurer. The case proceeded to trial against the remaining Defendants. When counsel for the remaining Defendants polled the jury after the verdict what they thought when Will’s client was not present for closing argument, one of the jurors said: “We thought he was doing so good, he just decided not to come back.”
