In this podcast episode, Kris Flammang talks with guest Chad Hastings. Chad Hastings is a highly experienced attorney with a focus on personal injury and commercial litigation cases. With over two decades of experience, Chad has built a strong reputation for his expertise in navigating medical care, insurance, and legal challenges. After graduating with a finance degree from UCF, Chad interned at a personal injury law firm in South Florida, which ignited his passion for helping individuals in difficult situations. As a partner at a Florida-based law firm with a history spanning over 95 years, Chad and his colleagues specialize in handling catastrophic injury cases, nursing home cases, product liability, and aviation crashes. They prioritize excellent client service and maintain open communication, relying on word-of-mouth referrals rather than billboard or television advertising. Chad is licensed to practice law in both Florida and Georgia and is actively involved in nonprofit work within the community.

Kris and Chad discuss the importance of guiding clients through the health system, ensuring they receive quality medical care, and alleviating the financial burden of medical bills that are not their fault. Chad also discusses compensating his clients for their lost time, work, pain, suffering, and emotional distress, and remains optimistic despite the challenges posed by recent changes in tort reform laws. Chad sheds light on the various insurance coverages that come into play. He explains that in the state of Florida, there is a no-fault insurance called PIP, which provides up to $10,000 in health insurance coverage. However, there are other options like health insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid that can partially or fully cover medical expenses. Hastings emphasizes the importance of understanding the insurance coverages of the defendant as well, as it affects the compensation available. He also highlights the challenges of finding doctors willing to deal with personal injury cases and the need to protect clients from potential future liens.
