Jason DeSouza – DeSouza Injury Lawyers
On the Good, Bad and Shady in the Injury Law World: “There are lots of very, very good, very aggressive injury lawyers that know how to treat clients properly. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of mills that do everything they can do to just get as many clients as possible. Stick them through the apple press, get whatever juice they can, and move on to the next one.”
We’ve all seen the billboards. Every big city has the advertisements for injury attorneys plaguing the landscape. But what is the business of injury law all about?
Jason DeSouza of DeSouza Injury Lawyers shares an unfiltered look at the business side of personal injury law. From his law school days and early work with a tough-as-nails tax attorney, to battling insurance companies and adapting to a world filled with AI and self-driving cars, Jason brings humor, candor, and real stories from the frontlines.
We dive deep into everything from the ethics (and sometimes antics) of industry marketing, to navigating medical malpractice cases in today’s harsh legal climate. Learn how lawyers use AI as a tool for high-level strategy, why most injury cases never see a courtroom, what it takes to hire (and keep) a great lawyer, and what you should always ask before signing on with an attorney.
Listen as Jason explains the role injury lawyers play to keep the world safe, and how you can protect yourself from frivolous lawsuits, as well as what to do if you are ever injured.
