The cases did not involve motorcycle accidents, however punitive damages can be awarded in motorcycle accident cases, for example, where an auto driver intentionally hits a motorcyclist or where he operates his vehicle in conscious disregard of the safety of others and causes a motorcycle accident.
QUESTION:
Can the motorcycle accident lawyer verify that he is an effective legal advocate, by citation to important published appellate victories he has achieved?
A lawyer's appellate success matters because it is a good measure of the lawyer's vitally important general ability to argue and persuade on legal issues, and this is important for any motorcycle accident case. It is an ability that is not just essential on appeals. It is an ability essential to the motorcycle accident lawyer's effectiveness in meeting all the big and small challenges presented at every stage of motorcycle accident litigation, e.g., by pretrial motions, which can seriously affect settlement posture of the motorcycle accident case as well as the respective parties' important advantages or disadvantages at trial. Your motorcycle accident lawyer's willingness to ask the appellate court to immediately reverse a bad pretrial decision that guts the motorcycle accident case may also be essential to achieve the quickest and best result. Legal advocacy is also a talent essential during trial, as the trial lawyer must be able to effectively argue legal issues, e.g., the admissibility of the defendant's admission of fault for the motorcycle accident or the inadmissibility of prejudicial medical or character evidence, or the permissibility of expert opinion testimony, etc. Then, if you "hit big" at trial in your motorcycle accident case, the defendant is almost certain to appeal, and you may then require superior legal advocacy to hold on to your victory.
ANSWER:
Mr. Henke has had extraordinary published and verifiable appellate victories. As one example, on behalf of a single aggrieved client Mr. Henke obtained the reversal of a $120,000,000 Ohio Federal District Court approved settlement purporting to bind 1000 product liability claimants joined in the Ohio Court and all others injured by the product nationwide. On a petition for writ of mandate to the United States Court of Appals for the Sixth Circuit, Mr. Henke also obtained the reversal of the Ohio Federal District Court's certification of a national mandatory product liability class action. Mr. Henke's argument, accepted by the Court of Appeals as requiring both decisions was that Mr. Henke's client was denied his right to counsel of his choice and control over his individual litigation. The appellate decision effected an important and enduring change in the law severely restricting the availability of mandatory, as opposed to voluntary class actions in "mass disaster" litigation. The appeal did not involve a motorcycle product liability case, however, the decision could also apply in motorcycle product liability cases.
As another example, when a trial judge applied newly enacted tort reform legislation to deprive Mr. Henke's client of his punitive damage claims, Mr. Henke obtained a stay of the trial and filed in the Court of Appeals an "extraordinary writ" seeking an immediate reversal of the trial court's order. The Court granted the writ of mandamus, ordering the trial court to reverse its order and permit Henke's client to pursue his punitive damage claim. It also rendered an important published appellate opinion reinterpreting the repressive tort reform legislation to deprive it of most of its negative force and effect. Again the case did not involve a motorcycle accident, however punitive damages may be obtained in motorcycle accident cases where the auto driver acted with malice, in conscious disregard of the health and safety of the motorcyclist.
