Bruce Munson’s unique take on legal issues is a product of where he’s been and what he’s done. He’s been a radio personality, a television producer, a cable TV system owner/operator, and he’s participated in the making of laws as a ten year member of the Indiana General Assembly.

HERE’S AN EXAMPLE of how Bruce Munson applies knowledge from his eclectic background to benefit clients:

A cable television technician suffered a serious and permanent hand injury when the ladder he used to access an amplifier slid out from under him. The ladder was resting against the strand (the steel wire that supports coaxial cable), and the strand began to slacken. The tech fell off the ladder as the strand gave way.

The insurance company for the cable construction company offered $0. But Bruce knew from his years of building and operating cable systems that sound construction practice requires a construction crew to make sure the strand is clamped tight at the end of each day’s work.

How did he explain this arcane technical issue to a jury? It wasn’t feasible to take the jury to the site of the mishap, so Bruce brought the problem to the jury. Sort of; he brought a four-foot section of utility pole, containing a typical strand clamp and a section of strand, into the courtroom and, with the help of an expert witness, demonstrated exactly what the construction company’s negligence looked like.

The result: A six-figure verdict for an injured client.
