## Resource

Think of a case as a three-legged stool. One leg is liability. The second is causation. And the third is damages. In this episode, Pearl Carey , on the firm’s professional staff, sits down with host Dirk J. Derrick, Esq. for an in-depth discussion about the truth of building a case. As Dirk explains: “Every case is like a three-legged stool. You have a stool that has three legs, and all three legs are solid. You can sit on it. You can depend upon it. Any of the legs are weak, or broken, you're going to bust your butt.” A must-listen for anybody thinking about filing a case. Learn More and Connect ☑️ Dirk J.
