Meghan Litecky, a former prosecutor turned civil litigator from Dysart Taylor in Kansas City, Missouri, joins USLAW Live! to unpack the “empty chair” defense (or lack thereof in Missouri), pure comparative fault, and key issues in transportation and premises liability.
She and USLAW Live! co-hosts Jessica Dark (Pierce Couch in Oklahoma) and Nick Rauch (Larson • King LLP in Minnesota and North Dakota) also discuss damages outcomes and the value of engaging experts—from arborists to S-E-A, Ltd. and the Department of Transportation. They also cover J-turns, vegetation management, cattle guards—and, for good measure, the best bites at the Minnesota State Fair. Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation.
