Strategic Use of Trial Tactics in Employment Injury Arbitration

Published by Arizona Association for Justice
and Canadian Caucus of AAJ
Learning Objectives
  • Understand how to use litigation filings to force arbitration while preserving objection-based leverage
  • Learn techniques for embedding objections into the arbitral record to shape outcomes and limit appeal
  • Analyze strategies for maximizing damage awards
  • Identify common defense post-award maneuvers and how to pre-empt or defeat them
  • Apply strategies used in Galiazzi v. Amazon, an employment injury case, to other forced-arbitration disputes





Summary

Charles Bennett will cover his strategy for delivering a win for his clients in forced arbitration cases by suing first, forcing the defendant to compel arbitration, and preserving objections while shifting the burden to the defense. He will address how to use written objections and motions to frame the narrative and build a record, as well as other trial strategies that can be applied in arbitration proceedings. You’ll also learn how to use procedural posture to your advantage and how to pre-empt or defeat post-award maneuvers by the defense. These strategies and trial tactics, successfully used in a recent case against Amazon, apply in other ERISA and non-subscriber contexts.
