32: John Naizby

In this episode of Trial Lawyer Talk, John Naizby discusses the case of “Mary” who lost her two children and her fiancé during a tractor-trailer accident. He explains, “she was almost paralyzed with how she could interact, and she couldn’t move past where she was with respect to the pain that she was in.” He was impressed with the “dignity and grace that she was able to meet each day.”

Through reenactments, John got to know Mary and all her family members. He also got to know the truck driver and the trucking company. He tried the case by telling the story through the eyes of the deceased as well as the survivors.

John Naizby’s Cancer Diagnosis and Insights

During this case, John was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He said, “I was able to really reflect and appreciate, you know, how precious life is and I was so thankful at that time that I was going to have the opportunity to make sure everybody in my life that I cared about would truly know how I felt in the event that I was going to die.”

In terms of how he deals with fear, John said, “there's a comfort in helping others and there's a sense of purpose and I love what I do. I love helping people. I love speaking for people. I love making sure that they're treated fair for what's happened to them and I'm thankful to be able to keep doing that.”

John said the case made him "appreciate how precious time is. It’s made me really appreciate how fortunate I am both professionally and personally in that I’ve got a lovely family and I get to come home to them every day. And I get to do what I do and with respect to Mary and her situation. I feel really at peace with the fact that we were able to provide her with the type of financial resources that she will never have to worry about anything getting as good as she can get and getting to where she needs to be so she can carry on in life. And that to me is really one of the greatest gifts and one of the things that's really touched me deeply with respect to the practice of law.”

Unfortunately, we lost an incredible person on July 15, 2020 when John passed away.
