Think your insurer is your ally after a fire, flood, or storm? Attorney Jim Kenny explains why first-party property claims are won with precision; policy language, documentation, and the right expert...not optimism. We take you inside the real process: how carriers anchor low using massive line-item estimates, why vacancy and occupancy rules are silent deal breakers, and how ACV, RCV, and depreciation holdbacks actually play out when timelines slip.

For owners and investors, this is a blueprint: choose adequate limits with a strong carrier, communicate openly with your broker about occupancy and renovations, verify endorsements for ordinance or law coverage, and maintain a clean paper trail from day one. We also explore climate and inflation pressures driving more hail and severe weather claims in the Midwest, and what that means for timelines, budgets, and negotiations. If your claim has been delayed, underpaid, or denied, Jim’s playbook shows how to regain leverage with facts, deadlines, and policy terms, so you get paid what it really costs to rebuild.

When evidence is mostly memory and timing, how do you find the truth? We sit down with defense attorney Ryan Fremont, who blends courtroom craft with formal training in psychology to navigate some of the toughest cases in the legal system: sex crimes where the stakes are life-altering and the proof often lives in words, not lab results.

Ryan walks us through the anatomy of these cases, from dissecting forensic interviews at child advocacy centers to mapping every statement across time for inconsistencies, impossibilities, and signs of suggestibility. We dig into how mental health influences outcomes on both sides: autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, dissociative identity disorder, and personality patterns in complainants; plus the charged terrain of paraphilic disorders like pedophilia and hebephilia. You’ll hear how experts shape juror perception, why cross-exam must be grounded in research, and how to dismantle overbroad “symptoms of trauma” claims without minimizing real harm.

We also confront the human cost. Ryan shares protocols to avoid secondary trauma, the emotional balance between client advocacy and compassion, and the harsh realities of pretrial detention, public stigma, and re-traumatization for complainants. Expect practical guidance too: what to do if you or a loved one is accused, red flags for false memory and coaching, and risk management for teachers, coaches, and therapists. We close by pointing to reforms that could speed cases and improve fairness: complete investigations before charging, and tighten admissibility for psychological testimony to keep speculative science out of the courtroom.

A forklift without a simple guard. A shuttle car missing a safety bar. One decision in a claims office that delays a needed surgery. Samuel Maples has spent five decades turning those moments into accountability and today he lays out a clear, practical roadmap for lawyers and injured workers navigating Alabama’s workers’ compensation and third-party claims.

We unpack the core differences between workers’ comp and personal injury, why comp remains a bench trial with tight statutory limits, and where a third-party claim can move the fight in front of a jury with broader damages. Samuel explains the first steps after a workplace accident, the 90-day reporting trap, and how employer-controlled medical care shapes outcomes, especially for high wage earners who hit caps fast.

If you advise injured workers or run a firm serving blue-collar communities, this is a masterclass in spotting third-party angles, managing medical disputes, and presenting compelling stories that move decision-makers. Follow and share the show, then leave a quick review to tell us what you’d change first about the workers’ comp system.
