In 2014 the National Trial Lawyers Association named Mr. Offutt as one of the 100 Best Trial Lawyers. This particular recognition came following a 2013 verdict he obtained on behalf of a little boy named “Jordan”. The jury in that case returned a verdict in the amount of THIRTY THREE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSANDS DOLLARS $33,400,000.00).

Jordan had been caused catastrophic brain damage at birth which later developed into a condition known as “Cerebral Palsy”. His brain damage was due to the medical negligence of his Health Care Providers. The injuries were so severe that he would need 24/7 care for the rest of his life. His mother needed help in obtaining justice for Jordan but the attorneys she initially approached declined. These attorneys probably declined because they were concerned that the case would be too difficult and costly for them to pursue. It is no secret in the legal community that taking on a case like this will require that attorney to go up against the Multi-Billion-dollar insurance industry and the lawyers they will hire will spare no expense to defend the Health Care Providers responsible for the harm caused. It is an all-out war, and the insurance industry has endless resources.

The case eventually came to Mr. Offutt who reviewed the merits of the case very closely with the assistance of medical experts. He determined that it was a clear case of medical negligence and the jury later agreed. Mr. Offutt filed suit on behalf of Jordan and after several years of relentless and aggressive work, the jury returned a verdict for Jordan in the amount of 33.4 Million dollars. Mr. Offutt then had a “Special Needs Trust” (SNT) established for Jordan that would take care of him for the rest of his life. Jordan’s verdict was the largest in Tennessee history.
