“People either step in and try them and don’t truly know the science and everything behind it, or they know the science in their sleep, but they don’t know how to track a case with it. And it takes both to do them right.”

In this episode, Tom sits down with renowned Florida trial lawyer Keith Mitnik, who has tried hundreds of cases across the country. Keith explains why successful TBI trial lawyers must master both courtroom skills AND scientific knowledge. He reveals why traditional trial skills alone aren’t enough. He discusses his unique approach to client preparation, the critical decisions about courtroom presence, and why the traditional trial playbook doesn’t work for TBI cases. Keith also introduces his innovative “stages of life” framework for explaining brain injury susceptibility to juries.

“Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) trials are some of the most complex and contentious litigation scenarios that you can encounter as a trial lawyer. Unlike visible injuries such as broken limbs, deep cuts, amputations, brain injuries they often leave no outward signs. They create skepticism among jurors and in particular defense attorneys. Addressing this invisible nature of the injury requires some sophisticated strategies.”
