What Trial Risks Are You Willing to Take?, with Tara Eberly and Ken Suggs

Ken Suggs recalls the time when he “chickened out” rather than go ahead with his experiment that involved dropping a box of typewriting paper on a steel box to show the crash worthiness of a car. He lost that case. “I've got a phrase that I like to repeat to myself when I'm trying to make one of those decisions,” he says, “which is, ‘Drop the box. Go ahead and do it.’” Ken and trial partner Tara Eberly at Janet, Janet & Suggs share how risk-taking has helped build the firm’s successful personal injury practice. Hosts Ben Gideon and Rahul Ravipudi explore the team’s insights about neuroscience applications in jury persuasion, cutting-edge technology, and innovative AI tools.
