  • So helpful!

    I'm currently navigating uncharted territory with my legal insurance terminating my counsel a month before a two week trial against my perpetrator that's suing me in federal court. I have so much respect for lawyers- the good ones. Drafting a motion right now like it's my job ;)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#303 - Straight Talk About the Insurance Industry
Q: How has the industry responded to negative narratives and public perception, and what could be done to educate clients and the public?
The industry often fails to counter misleading narratives; better outreach and education for clients and the public, done in generic, non-claim-specific formats, could help balance the story and reduce misconceptions.
#303 - Straight Talk About the Insurance Industry
Q: What is the current state of the relationship between defense counsel and adjusters, and where do breakdowns most often occur?
Breakdowns typically happen when attorneys assume they know more than adjusters, and when communication is poor. Collaboration between attorneys and adjusters—asking for input and sharing state-specific practices—tends to yield better outcomes.
#300 - The Evolution of Litigation Defense
Q: What guidance would you share with the audience based on your recent experiences?
Invest in early jury research and open communication with clients about the value of data-driven decision making; share information openly rather than hoard it, because it improves outcomes for clients and ultimately benefits the defense bar as a whole.
#300 - The Evolution of Litigation Defense
Q: Mike, describe your experience with us doing early case assessment.
Early case assessment provides a roadmap: it clarifies strengths and weaknesses, shapes discovery, helps with witness coaching, guides which experts to hire, and even saves costs by avoiding unnecessary experts or overbuilt evidence.
#300 - The Evolution of Litigation Defense
Q: Mike, when you explain this to say, a client that does it the old way, or maybe say you have a new client, and they give you prototypical response to this, which is, well, let's just try to settle this at mediation. What's your response to that?
The approach is like building a house: prepare the blueprint early so you can lay a solid foundation, otherwise you waste money and miss critical data that could change the outcome. Early data guides what to pursue and what to avoid, and helps position the case for better settlement or trial outcomes.
