In this episode of The Injury Pros Podcast, host Steven DeBonis of Cordisco & Saile sits down with Andrew Race, an insurance defense attorney at Moore, Ingram, Johnson & Steele. What makes this conversation unique is that Steven (a plaintiff’s attorney) and Andrew (a defense attorney) come together across the courtroom aisle for a candid, civil discussion about personal injury litigation.

They dive into:

• How each side evaluates cases and interacts with clients, insurers, and adjusters.
• The role of empathy and human connection in negotiations and mediations.
• The realities of aggressive tactics, negotiation strategies, and “million-dollar” demands.
• Why fewer than 1% of civil cases actually go to trial, and what settlement really looks like in practice.
• Stories from the trenches, from difficult depositions to unexpected jury verdicts.

The result is an honest and refreshing look at how both sides of personal injury law actually work... and how collaboration, not just conflict, shapes outcomes for clients.
