Master meteorological proof for auto and premises liability claims… and more!
Turn weather conditions into winning verdicts and bigger settlements.
Weather destroys surveillance footage. It obscures fault. It creates reasonable doubt. But when you know how to leverage meteorological evidence, weather becomes your strongest ally - whether you're proving or defending liability.
In just 100 minutes, you'll pick up the forensic meteorology playbook that top litigators guard closely and learn to:
- Transform "act of God" defenses into negligence victories in slip-and-fall and premises cases.
- Turn "unavoidable" accidents into multi-million dollar wins by proving visibility, sun glare, and road conditions in auto cases.
- Obliterate storm-in-progress defenses (or invoke them when defending) by mastering what legally constitutes a "storm."
- Nail defendants for notice and negligence with ice formation science that shocks juries — including proof ice exists above 32°F.
- Convert weather events into premises liability verdicts using precise wind speeds + directions, flood return periods, and National Weather Service advisories.
- Counter opposing experts with weather reconstruction information that judges and the jury actually understand.
Stop letting weather be the wildcard in your cases. Master the science that controls outcomes.
