  • When Do I Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

    When auto accidents happen, insurance companies are looking to minimize how much they pay you or not pay you at all—and they will succeed if you go to them as an unrepresented claimant. 

    There are times when you don't need a lawyer. For example, if you get into a minor parking lot fender bender, and it's someone else's fault, no one is injured, and all you're trying to do is get your car fixed, then you don't need a lawyer. In that case, liability is admitted, no one is injured, and no genuine issue of contention.

    Learn more in this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast with elite civil trial lawyers Matt Dolman and his partner, Stan Gipe. They discuss the need to hire a personal injury lawyer, avoid common mistakes that could hurt your claims before it's too late, and more.

    •  [07:02] Exacerbation of a preexisting condition and the eggshell plaintiff rule
    •  [09:29] Your insurance company does not like to pay you. How to make sure you don’t give them a reason not to

  • The Truth About a Police Report

    Let's say you've just had a car accident, and a police officer comes to the scene, interviews a few witnesses, gives you a ticket and writes a report that says you're at fault. What next? Does it necessarily mean you're at fault and have no case?  

    For one, what is a police report? The police report is a police officer's opinion about what happened when they spoke to the people who saw the accident. There's no reason why your case should not move forward because If your case ever gets to court, what's in the police officer's report never comes up. 

    In this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast, elite civil trial lawyers Matt Dolman and his partner, Stan Gipe, discuss why a police report should not deter you from pursuing a potential claim. They also talk about your options, even if your case is about splitting liability.

    • [05:27] Something else you need to know: can what you say to the police officer at your auto accident scene be used against you in a state of Florida court?
    • [06:54] What does being at fault or partially at fault mean for your case? 
    • [08:11] Why it is crucial always to get a second or third opinion 
    • [10:36] The police report can be wrong in many ways. What should you do if the police report is incorrect about your case? 
    • [12:16] Conclusion: your choice of a lawyer makes all the difference

  • Insulating Your Practice Against Big Tech Invasion with Bob Simon

    Technology and new rules of engagement are rattling law practice across different states. Arizona and Utah, for example, allow non-lawyers to be law firm partners. California allows legal paraprofessionals - non-lawyers who only have to get a certificate - to practice law. Now, Big Tech and artificial intelligence (AI) are entering the practice of law. Astoundingly, the AI is posting a win rate north of 50%.

  • Jury Misconduct Could Derail the Ghislaine Maxwell Verdict

    The defense team for Ghislaine Maxwell announced its plans to appeal her recent sex-trafficking conviction after two jurors from the trial told reporters that they were sexually abused and discussed this with other jury members in deliberations. 

    Maxwell's attorneys are looking into whether the jurors incorrectly filled out a questionnaire in which they were supposed to disclose this type of information — details that could have led to biased decision-making. If they did, that would be gross jury misconduct that could be grounds for a mistrial.

    Jury misconduct in any shape or form is critical to whether justice is served. However, it is an often misunderstood part of the process because justice systems don't want to scare off potential jurors from serving in future trials.

    Stan Gipe and partner Matt Dolman are seasoned trial lawyers and acutely aware of how delicate the process of selecting a jury is and why jury misconduct is such a serious offense.

    In this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast, Stan and Matt discuss how emotions move juries more than facts and how this makes jury impartiality an even bigger deal. They'll also cover some of their own courtroom experiences where questions of jury misconduct became an issue.

    In this episode: 
    •  [00:38] Matt Dolman introduces the topic of the day: Jury misconduct and the issue around the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict
    • [01:32] Why juror neutrality is critical
    • [03:16] Stan and Matt share their  first-hand experience of jury misconduct
    • [07:09] The dilemma of being a juror
    • [08:38] Stan talks about the most common jury misconduct in civil trial personal injury cases
    • [11:38] Jury selection is the most important part of a case. What drives jury selection?
    • [13:50] How remote trials increases the potential for juror misconduct
