How is AI Helping or Hurting Personal Injury Cases?

Artificial intelligence is changing how personal injury cases are handled, but is it helping or hurting?

In this episode of Laughter and the Law, we sit down with Robbie Garner, CEO and President of Atlantic Computer Services, to explore how AI is being used inside law offices today.

We discuss how AI can improve efficiency in document review and workflow, the importance of protecting sensitive client information, and the real risks that come with overreliance on automation. Most importantly, we break down the limitations of AI and why human oversight and careful review remain essential in personal injury cases.

AI is a powerful tool, but when real people and real outcomes are involved, judgment and accountability still matter.

Why is Cybersecurity Important in Personal Injury Claims?

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It is a business survival issue.

From phishing emails to ransomware attacks, today’s threats do not just target large corporations. They target small businesses, teams, and everyday operations, often quietly until real damage is done.

 In this episode, we sit down with Robbie Garner, CEO and President of Atlantic Computer Services, to talk about what cybersecurity really looks like in today’s digital landscape.

 Robbie shares real world insight into:

• The most common cybersecurity mistakes businesses make

• What cyber attackers are actually looking for

• Why assuming you are too small to be a target is a dangerous mindset

• How to think proactively, not reactively, about protecting your data

 This is not fear based hype. It is practical, informed guidance from someone who works in cybersecurity every day and sees where businesses are most vulnerable.

 Whether you are a business owner, a manager, or someone who simply wants to better understand how digital threats affect daily life, this conversation is for you.

Workers’ Comp Basics: Rights, Risks, and Real Cases

Workers’ compensation cases can feel overwhelming from the very beginning.

There are forms to file, deadlines to meet, medical decisions to navigate, and conversations that often happen faster than people expect. Most injured workers do not realize how complex the system is until they are already in it.

In this episode of Laughter and the Law, we sit down with our workers’ compensation paralegal to talk about how we handle workers’ comp cases from start to finish. We discuss what advocacy really looks like behind the scenes and why strong client relationships matter throughout the process.

In this conversation, we cover:

• How workers’ compensation cases actually move through the system

• Why communication and trust are critical between clients and their legal team

• Common misunderstandings that can delay benefits or treatment

• The reality that you do not know what you do not know when it comes to workers’ comp

This episode is about making the process less intimidating and helping injured workers understand why having someone on their side who knows the system can make a meaningful difference.

The Power of Closing Arguments

On this episode, Jackie sits down with office manager (and daughter) Diane Belmont to highlight one of her favorite books, review two of her favorite cases covered in the book, and offer insight as to how the elements of the cases are still applicable even today! 

Please note: In the review of the Silkwood case, Jackie, unfortunately miscast the lead in the movie based on Karen Silkwood. She would like to blame her misinformation on the fact it's been over 30 years since she has seen the movie. 

Additionally, in the review of the Medgar Evers trials, Jackie accidentally pronounces the civil rights activist's last name as Evans. Unfortunately, we did not catch it in time to fix in the podcast.
