Law On Edge: The $30 Million Verdict That Vanished


Listen Later

A mother trusted a school employee to watch her son and hours later, he was gone. The jury delivered a $30 million verdict against the Los Angeles Unified School District, but on appeal, everything changed.

In this episode of Law on Edge, California trial lawyer Eric Ganci dissects the case of Taylor v. LAUSD and the power of Education Code §44808, the law that shields school districts from liability once students step off campus.

Eric explores how a single fact — what a school knew or should have known — can flip a case from justice to immunity. For attorneys, parents, and anyone who believes trust should come with accountability, this one hits hard.

Law on Edge is part of The AM Sidebar — short, sharp episodes on California’s most important legal shifts.
