The second edition of The Domino Theory has thirteen new chapters, including new examples and strategies for dealing with minor impact soft-tissue and auto crash cases, discovery, cross-examination, and damages. Capozzi does more than expand upon new ways to win your cases using the domino theory, he also shares many of the other methods he’s used to obtain hundreds of settlements and verdicts of six and seven figures in cases ranging from soft-tissue injuries to wrongful death.

In The Domino Theory, Capozzi shows how each part of your case is a domino—one step in a cause-and-effect cascade. He takes you through client intake, prelitigation, discovery, and trial and shares how to demonstrate all of the elements you need to prove a personal injury case to a jury: negligence, your client’s injuries, permanence, the preponderance of the evidence, damages, and proximate cause. Additionally, Capozzi explains how to set up your case presuit and during the discovery process to collect the facts and evidence that you’ll ultimately use at trial to prove your case.

Over the course of 48 chapters, Capozzi shares insights and ways to successfully approach the following issues and more:

• Interrogatories
• Depositions (including the discovery deposition of a defense medical expert)
• Defense medical exams
• Settlement and mediation
• The pretrial exchange
• Going to trial
• Opening statement
• Common soft-tissue injuries
• Damages in opening statement

• The verdict sheet
• Summation
• Demonstrations for auto accidents, premises liability, minor impact soft-tissue cases, damages, proving negligence against a trucking company, and cases with multiple acts of negligence

In The Domino Theory, Capozzi presents a robust framework for practicing trial law, humanizing each case, and building credibility to keep the jury invested. With discussions and examples on soft-tissue injury, car accident, medical malpractice, premises liability, and trucking cases, Capozzi provides a detailed method for obtaining just settlements and winning verdicts for your clients.
