ABSTRACT
In this article, we explore the various approaches to litigation defense that may be employed – eg, the role of the insurance industry, arbitration and its pitfalls, assumption of risk, comparative fault, contributory negligence, and consent. We also explore evidentiary matters – eg, poems and songs, signs and symbols, social media, organizational culture, how discovery devices may be used, and the role of expert witnesses. Lastly, we explore damages – general, actual, punitive, and the difficulty of collecting them.
