Wisdom on Trial - Guest Sammy Cacciatore

Every trial lawyer in Florida – and their clients – owe a debt of gratitude to Sammy Cacciatore of Melbourne.  It was back in the early 1970’s, fresh out of law school, that he made his most successful argument before the Florida Supreme Court: that damage awards should not be disallowed simply because the victim bore some fault; but rather, awarded based on each party’s percentage of fault for the act in question.  The standard of Comparative Negligence has been the law of the land ever since, not only here in Florida but afterward in a majority of other states.Sammy’s early success resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts for his clients and a distinguished career that includes many awards and titles.  He’s a Past President of the Florida Justice Association and has served on the Florida Bar’s Board of Governors.  He’s also the current Chairman of the Fellows of the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers.Sammy Cacciatore sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in February of 2018 to talk about that most famous case of his career to date, the importance he places on reading, and his advice for lawyers who not only want to get ahead – but be successful. Show Notes: Sammy Cacciatore is with the Nance|Cacciatore law firm in Melbourne, Florida -  www.nancelaw.comResources Mentioned in this Podcast:Visit the Florida Justice Association Research and Education Foundation Podcast Webpage for full details and extras on this podcast.The Titans of Trial, sponsored by the Florida Justice Association Research and Education Foundation, features Florida’s legendary trial attorneys revealing their keys to success – in law practice and in personal life – in their own words.  Behind the sometimes tough courtroom veneer lies the heart of a champion advocate.  Sometimes whimsical, often inspirational, but always with practical advice and lessons, Titans of Trial shares the personal stories of the men and women who’ve made a demonstrated difference to the practice of trial law in Florida.
