Goliath, hosts Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe discuss the newest emerging mass tort relating to the use of Suboxone, a medication commonly prescribed to individuals with opioid addiction to help them get off of opiates.

This can have a cataclysmic effect on people’s lives, and even impact their ability to find employment. There's currently a group of about 40 lawsuits in different districts throughout the United States that are likely to be consolidated over the next few weeks into multidistrict litigation (MDL).

How can an attorney fund a case? When a personal injury attorney files suit against an insurance company giant, they often don’t have the same resources as the companies they are going up against. However, private equity gives these attorneys the power to level the playing field.There are ethical considerations though. Who controls the case? Does the lawyer listen to their client or the lender? Although the lender is giving the money, “any lawyer worth his weight in salt is going to take control of the case”. And the lender, in turn, wants the attorney to act in the best interests of their case in order to succeed. In this episode of The David vs. Goliath Podcast, Anthony Russo Jr. of The Russo Firm joins hosts Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe to discuss how private equity is helping personal injury attorneys take on Fortune 500 companies. Learn More and Connect☑️ Anthony Russo Jr. | The Russo Firm | LinkedIn☑️ Matt Dolman | Twitter | LinkedIn  ☑️ Stan Gipe ☑️ Dolman Law Group☑️ Dolman Law G

In this week’s episode, hosts Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe discuss that changes to Florida's insurance laws primarily benefit insurance companies at the expense of consumers. The legislation was criticized for allowing companies to escape corporate negligence and shifting the burden to consumers and businesses.The bill was sold as a benefit to consumers despite lacking language that would lead to reduced insurance premiums. Rather, the new legislation shifts money from consumers to insurance companies without providing any benefit to consumers, while insurance companies continue to welcome record-setting profits.In this episode: [01:01] Escaping corporate negligence: The new law allows insurance companies to avoid being held liable for mistakes, shifting the burden onto consumers and businesses. [07:12] Pressure to settle claims: The legislation makes it more difficult for consumers and businesses to pressure insurance companies to settle claims quickly and fairly.[09:22] Nuclear verdicts: Framed as excessi

In this week’s episode, hosts Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe share valuable insights into navigating the complexities of tort law and insurance coverage. We discuss the distinctions between intentional torts and negligence, focusing on the insurance coverage implications for each. Intentional torts occur when someone purposely causes harm. Negligence arises from unintentional harm due to careless actions.Florida law doesn’t provide insurance coverage for intentional acts, making it vital for attorneys to identify and correctly present cases involving underlying negligence. We delve into specific case types, such as negligent transmission of sexual disease and security cases.Matt and Stan share examples of how framing cases strategically can result in insurance coverage even when harm may initially seem intentional. It’s essential to have a skilled attorney who can present a case in a way that triggers insurance coverage. Most people don’t have sufficient liquid assets to cover large claims. It’s also ess

Florida's HB 837, the new tort reform bill signed by Governor DeSantis, contains sweeping limits on lawsuits and is likely to have detrimental consequences for accident and injury victims in Florida. While it may appear reasonable to those outside the legal profession, Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe are here to debunk common misconceptions and reveal the true impact of this bill on accident victims in Florida.Initially aimed at addressing nuclear verdicts (which are quite rare), the bill has evolved to create chaos in areas such as doctors' fees in personal injury cases, negligent security standards, and the ability to pursue minor claims, among others. Furthermore, the bill favors insurance companies by forcing citizens to cover attorney fees, enabling these companies to manipulate the law and profit from countless claims. Join hosts Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe in this episode as they delve into the detrimental implications of the new tort reform bill and what it means for you. They examine each amendment in d
