  • From Six Breaches of Care to One Original Sin, with Tim Wojton and Matt Scanlon

    From Six Breaches of Care to One Original Sin, with Tim Wojton and Matt Scanlon
    Nov 23 2025

    Tim Wojton was prepared to tell jurors that a skilled nursing facility violated six different standards of care, leading to a patient’s death from hypovolemic shock. Then he realized that there was really just one. “I thought, wait a minute, understaffing isn't just another breach. Understaffing is the original sin.” In this case breakdown, Tim and trial partner Matt Scanlon describe to host Brendan Lupetin how they tracked down former employees, turned brutal cross-examination moments into powerful jury connections, and used a simple tree analogy to help jurors understand corporate negligence. Jurors awarded $750,000.

  • The $3.5M Comeback after Summary Judgment Defeat, with Patrick Sullivan

    The $3.5M Comeback after Summary Judgment Defeat, with Patrick Sullivan
    Nov 9 2025

    Did the primary care physician cause his patient’s death from an undiagnosed pulmonary embolism? A trial court said no, on summary judgment. In representing the patient’s widow on appeal, Patrick Sullivan realized that he had to “scrap everything and start from square one.” In this case breakdown with host Brendan Lupetin, Patrick describes how he reframed the case even as he faced hurdles: The patient never complained of chest pain (pulmonary embolism's key symptom) and the defense characterized him as an alcoholic. Patrick reveals how he exposed the PCP’s behavior – putting business interests above his patient’s care – and how he strategically ordered his witnesses for maximum impact. The jury responded, awarding $3.5 million.

    • Patrick Sullivan represented a widow whose husband died from a pulmonary embolism after his primary care physician cleared him for surgery without discussing or noting his history of blood clots on the surgical clearance form.
    • The trial court let the primary care physician out on causation at summary judgment; Patrick got that decision overturned on appeal and then sued the PCP again.
    • The jury found the PCP negligent, awarding $3.5 million in wrongful death damages and assigning zero comparative negligence to the patient.
    • Patrick emphasizes constant learning through reading trial strategy books, getting in the arena early and often, and maintaining genuine passion for clients.

  • Defense-Turned-Plaintiff’s Lawyer Lands a Record Verdict in Somerset County, with Doug Olcott

    Defense-Turned-Plaintiff’s Lawyer Lands a Record Verdict in Somerset County, with Doug Olcott
    Oct 23 2025
    Doug Olcott believes his 15 years as a defense attorney gives him a “leg up” representing plaintiffs. It did in his case against a snow tubing park, where his client suffered a catastrophic injury. “I think I have a better understanding as to what the defendants are going to do and then being able to anticipate how they're going to approach a game because, quite frankly, in my 35 years doing this, not a lot has changed on the defense bar side,” he tells host Brendan Lupetin. In this case breakdown, Doug explains how he overcame a signed waiver, exposed defense contradictions, and challenged an expert witness who said his client “lacked common sense.” The result: a $693,000 verdict, Somerset County's largest in at least 20 years: Learn More and Connect☑️ Doug Olcott | LinkedIn☑️ Edgar Snyder & Associates on LinkedIn | Facebook | YouTube☑️ Brendan Lupetin | LinkedIn☑️ Lupetin & Unatin, LLC☑️ Connect: Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube☑️ Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeEpisode PreviewDoug’s client was attending a children's birthday party at Hidden Valley's snow tubing park when her tube accelerated down the hill and launched off the back of a runout embankment.She suffered a T12 burst fracture requiring surgical placement of two rods across five levels of her thoracic spine, along with a pelvic fracture and other lesser fractures.After the court granted summary judgment on negligence claims based on a signed waiver, the case proceeded to trial on recklessness only—a significantly higher burden requiring proof of intentional or reckless disregard for known risks.Doug and co-counsel Jerry Hutton proved recklessness by establishing three critical failures: no workers stationed at the bottom to stop tubes, no deceleration mats deployed, and no barrier to prevent riders from going over the embankment.The defense's own policies and procedures contradicted their trial testimony—interrogatory answers identified specific safety protocols that witnesses couldn't verify had been followed on the day of the...
