The Dirty Verdict

Tire Trials, Billion-Dollar Wins & Lemurs on the Loose — with Kyle Farrar


Listen Later

In this high-powered episode of The Dirty Verdict, the guys welcome legal heavyweight Kyle Farrar, two-time National Trial Lawyer of the Year and appellate ace, for an in-depth look at two of the most talked-about product liability verdicts in the country — including a $31 million Miami verdict and a nearly $1 billion seatbelt defect case against Mitsubishi.

From starting a boutique plaintiff’s firm with a loan and a tire case they swore they’d never take, to building a national litigation powerhouse, Kyle recounts his journey in candid, hilarious, and jaw-dropping detail. And yes — they even dive into lemur litigation.

Highlights from the Show:

  • 🎯 $31 Million Miami Verdict: How a flying wheel assembly led to a tragic loss — and a high-stakes agency theory trial win.
  • 🏛️ The Mitsubishi Seatbelt Case: A 1992 sports car, rip-stitch seatbelt defect, and a billion-dollar judgment that changed lives.
  • 🧑‍⚖️ Trial Tactics & Jury Strategy: From unique jury selection in Florida to prepping witnesses with master consultants.
  • 🔧 Auto Products & Tire Litigation: How Kyle’s firm came to dominate the nation’s tire defect docket — by accident.
  • 🧠 Mentorship & Firm Building: Starting a firm on fumes, hiring their first lawyer the day Kyle’s son was born, and growing into a national presence.
  • 🐒 The Lemur Case: A surprise detour into Texas’s most unforgettable monkey-mauling mailman lawsuit.
  • 🙌 Faith, Mission Work & Client Humanity: Heartfelt moments from clients whose lives were changed — and how Kyle’s team helped them seek justice.
  • 🗣️ Lawyering in Loud Courtrooms: Miami lawyers, Zoom deposition brawls, and what not to do when pro hac vice.
  • 🎥 Alex Jones Trial Behind the Scenes: Kyle recalls the viral courtroom moment when Jones tried to confront him mid-trial.

Bonus: Find out what happens when you tell opposing counsel to "shut your mouth" in a deposition — and why Wes Ball didn’t know he was trying the case until a week in.
