Proper Development of Injury Cases, Winning a $45 Million Settlement in a Disputed Fault Case and Singing Law Firm Jingles with Jeb Butler and Matt Kahn

Jeb Butler and Matt Kahn from the Atlanta, GA personal injury firm of Butler Kahn join this weeks episode of Sports ‘N Torts. Jeb and Matt’s law firm handles personal injury matters involving catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. Matt tells the story of how he met Jeb that led to them working together and ultimately joining up in their newly formed law firm. We talk a lot about their approach to cases and how they develop evidence needed to win at trial. We get in the weeds on “witness work” and how they view taking, and preparing for, depositions. Both grew up with a dad who practiced law so we hear how that shaped their desires to become lawyers and what ultimately led them both to law school. Both genuinely enjoy their practices and being a lawyer.
The two outline their recent $45,000,000 settlement in a case involving a client who suffered life changing injuries in a motorcycle wreck. Hear about the obstacles they faced in proving their client was not at fault for the wreck and the perseverance they showed in the face of numerous experts telling them they did not have a case. And oh yeah, they shut down a major road in Cobb County and the runaway at PDK Airport(more than once) to help them develop the theories used to win the case. We discussed the best way to present damages in a case involving a life changing injury. Really good stuff from these two.
We learn their approach to marketing and the environment they have cultivated for their firm. Finally, we learn why Jeb keeps chickens in his back yard and how Matt writes jingles for their law firm.
