Sari Swears Podcast | Season 8, Ep. 13: What You're Getting Wrong About Non-Economic Damages


Listen Later

Let's talk about money.

Specifically: what money can buy... and what it can't.

That distinction?

It's everything in trial.

And it's everything when it comes to damages.

Economic damages? You've got bills, life care plans, receipts…

Non-economic? You're asking the jury to put a number on grief.

On lost joy. On the inability to hold your child again.

In this podcast episode, I'll show you EXACTLY how to:

✅ Separate price from value in voir dire, opening, and closing ✅ Use stand-in language and metaphor to anchor your ask ✅ Reframe the jury's role so they stop thinking they're buying something and start seeing what their number really represents

If you've ever struggled to confidently ask for a big number… This one is for YOU.

Tune in NOW! 🎧

Love, Sari 💖

P.S. I threw in the 3 questions I use in closing to reframe damages every time. You can thank me later.

Quote:

"You're not pricing the pain. You're pricing the value of relieving that pain. You're pricing the value of reclaiming your life. What would you pay to get that back? That's what you're asking the jury to consider."
