Sam is live again from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas! First, he runs through updates on Hurricane Milton's devastating impact in Florida and the crisis capitalism that has followed, presidential polling, Israeli war crimes in Lebanon and Gaza, the US economy, Russian advances in Ukraine, and even more corruption out of the Eric Adams Administration, before he and Emma parse through Harris' policy announcements on hurricane response (particularly against predatory price gouging) and the care economy. Then, Sam is joined by two attorneys from Levin Papantonio law firm, first talking with Jeff Gaddy about his ongoing mass tort case against major social media companies including Meta, Snap, Google, and ByteDance (TikTok), and their platforms' exploitation of minors via overwhelming exposure to addictive and harmful content. Gaddy walks through these corporations' responsibility for the design and development of their platforms, touching on the protections from liability for true third-party content that Section 230 offers and the exceptions to these protections when it comes to these corporations' production of their own (even if derivative) content and to how said design and development curates and highlights the content users engage with. After running through various other ongoing cases against these companies, Jeff and Sam unpack the developing role of legislative challenges to these practices and the importance of civil law in pushing these issues into the open, wrapping up the interview by briefly touching on the major revelations in discovery and what the “damages” of this exploitation look like. Cameron Stephenson is the next attorney to join, diving into the recent proliferation of GLP-1RA drugs, from the FDA's approval of Ozempic as a diabetes medication in 2017, through the now sixth variation between Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly that focuses more on medical (or even cosmetic) weight loss, and the pharmaceutical industry's complete failure to properly warn some millions and millions of patients about serious risks and side effects associated with the drug class – namely gastroparesis. After expanding on the particular role off-label marketing of cosmetic uses played in contributing to the pervasion of GLP-1RAs – despite the relatively minor financial penalties associated with it – Stephenson wraps up the interview by unpacking the impact of this pharmaceutical malpractice, and the importance of civil law in pushing for genuine change. Sam and Emma also cover Kari Lake and Ruben Gallego's clash over the exploitations of crisis capitalism, Harris' complete failure to highlight any of the popular elements of her platform, and the inspiration Donald Trump is finding in the extreme inequality of the Gilded Age. Plus, Matt Walsh (and, more importantly, Asher Edelman) share their takes on the billionaire's role in society.

It's Hump Day! And Sam is live from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the build of Hurricane Milton as it approaches Florida, Harris' campaign for the right, Biden's commitment to Israel, DOJ vs. Google, Trump's blocking of a Kavanaugh FBI investigation, abortion bans, Boeing machinist's ongoing labor action, Elons cucking to Lula, the ever-crumbling Eric Adams Administration, and the GOP's mass investment in anti-trans attacks, before parsing a little more thoroughly through the impending threat of Hurricane Milton. After touching on the important distinction between mass torts and class action lawsuits, Sam is joined by Attorney Kim Adams with Levin Pappantonio to discuss her ongoing litigation against the Canadian porn company formerly known as MindGeek (now Aylo) for encouraging, facilitating, and helping to disseminate child pornography on their site, unpacking the law (Section 230) that protects platforms from legal liability for third-party content and the tension between that and the active production, curation, boosting, and highlighting of said liable content, not to mention the heightened responsibility for pornography companies to be aware of the content the platform and sponsor. After expanding on the extensive community of impacted parties, be they plaintiffs or potential class members, and exploring the distinction between hosting and publishing, Adams summarizes the case's state right now. Next, Andy Birchfield from Beasley Allen joins, diving right into the ever-ongoing case against Johnson & Johnson for their manufacturing, sale, and promotion of their Talc-based baby powder formula despite internal awareness of the presence of asbestos and the devastating medical impact it can have on mothers and their children, with a particular focus on J&J knowingly marketing this toxic powder as a feminine hygiene product and the resulting development of ovarian cancer amongst consumers. Next, Birchfield dives deep into J&J's implementation of the “Texas Two-Step” legal maneuver to avoid responsibility, splitting off all of its liabilities from its assets into a separate company, before immediately moving said company to the asbestos-liability haven of North Carolina, where it would attempt to declare bankruptcy and render any attempts at accountability or compensation null. Walking through the circle of attrition that this has created in the courts, as we enter a third attempt to declare bankruptcy, Andy and Sam wrap up with the future of this case and the role public pressure, congressional legislation, and the questionable morals of J&J leadership all play in hopefully bringing this to a close. Sam and Emma also expand on the developing story about the Trump White House's obstruction of an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh's allegations of sexual assault. The crew watches Sean Hannity compares abortion restrictions to the draft before chatting with attorneys Brian Barr of Levin Papantonio and the legendary Ben Crump about their representation of Roger Fortson, a U.S. airman shot to death by police. They then discuss the back-and-forth sniping between Kamala Harris and Ron DeSantis over taking a phone call regarding hurricane assistance, and Benjamin Netanyahu benevolently addressing the people of Lebanon (major sarcasm intended).

The attorneys emphasize the importance of filing meritorious cases and the urgency for potential plaintiffs to seek representation due to statute of limitations constraints.

When Peter Mougey at Levin Papantonio decided to utilize the employee engagement survey with his department within the law firm, he knew it was a good investment.

And as a bonus, Mougey has become a much better leader in the process.If you've never considered the benefits of seeking real and honest feedback from your employees, this podcast will convince you that it's a true game-changer.

Working in a sausage factory while attending college taught Troy Rafferty the value of hard work and sacrifice.  Which helped him become what he is today: one of the top trial lawyers nationally who police the pharmaceutical industry by trying and winning complex mass tort cases. But as the old adage goes about sausages and laws – that you should never see them being made – Troy’s early experience also provided the fortitude for an important future battle with the Florida Legislature.  Before, during and after Troy's time as President of the Florida Justice Association, he worked tirelessly to prevent and ultimately help overturn the legislature’s decision to adopt the Daubert Standard on expert witness testimony. Troy Rafferty sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in January 2019 to share some of his winning strategies… and his twin concerns that legal practice has become too contentious and is run too much like a business.

You may know Fred Levin as the father of the Florida tobacco lawsuits.  He rewrote the Florida Medicaid Third Party Recovery Act in 1993 to allow the state of Florida to sue the tobacco industry, eventually settling for $13 billion and forever changing the face of tobacco litigation in the United States.   But if not for a stubborn client who refused to settle an insurance case nearly 60 years ago, Fred might not have become a trial lawyer.  Among his many honors, is the Perry Nichols Award - the FJA’s most prestigious.  It’s given to an attorney whose perseverance, commitment, and unmatched dedication to the civil justice system is at the forefront of his or her life. Fred Levin, now age 80, sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in late August 2017 to discuss the keys to his success, his few regrets, the ethics problems he sees in the trial bar, and his advice to those practicing trial law today – or thinking about it.
