Sagi Shaked has spent more than 25 years finding compensation for families when others

said there was nothing left to recover. What stood out most to you: the brain injury case

where the scans came back normal, the self-driving braking failure, or the insurance

defense tactics in the Insurance Company Games segment?

Study mentioned in the episode, on why a normal CT or MRI does not rule out a brain injury:

When an insurance company tells you not to worry, that may be exactly when you should. In this episode of Legal Latitudes, host Federico Lathrop sits down with Sagi Shaked, a board-certified Miami trial lawyer who has spent more than two decades representing families through the worst moments of their lives.

Sagi has built a national reputation handling traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, and catastrophic injury cases, and he teaches lawyers across the country on how these claims are actually won. He and Federico get into the realities most people never hear about, from the science of an invisible brain injury to the moves insurance companies make the moment a case begins.

What this episode covers:

• Why a serious traumatic brain injury should be handled like a wrongful death case, and how before-and-after witnesses carry the story
• What it means when a brain injury shows up clinically even though the CT and MRI come back normal, and how DTI imaging can help explain it
• Preserving critical evidence early, before the insurance company builds its own record
• How to choose the right lawyer for a serious injury or death case, and why board certification, results, and real trial experience matter
• The hidden sources of insurance and compensation many lawyers miss, including a bar that overserved an underage driver, homeowners policies, and employer liability
• Product liability in a new era, including a case involving an automatic emergency braking system that failed
• Trucking and delivery cases, and how Amazon and FedEx contractor structures affect who can be held responsible
• Rideshare distraction, and the argument that a constantly pinging app can be treated as a product-liability problem
• The insurance defense tactics Sagi sees again and again, including lowball proposals for settlement, empty-chair defenses, motions to bifurcate, and fights over billed versus paid medical bills

Whether you are an injury victim, a family trying to understand your options, a lawyer sharpening your craft, or someone who follows trial law, this conversation is full of practical insight into how these cases really work.
