Bethany Schneider from Schneider Injury Law joins us for episode 52 of Sports ‘N Torts. Originally from Tennessee, Bethany talks about attending college at UGA and Law School at UT in Austin. Bethany gives us the tale of the tape between Athens and Austin and what led her back to Atlanta. After Law School, Bethany worked for King & Spalding for 8 years. There, she defended Tobacco Companies at trial throughout the Southeast. Those experiences led Bethany to opening up her own injury firm 5 years ago. Bethany talks about her goals of trying 5-8 jury trials per year and her approach to trial. She discusses the empathy she learned from her career representing the aforementioned Tobacco companies. Bethany works on important injury cases including an emphasis on brain injury cases. We learn from Bethany how to develop a brain injury case and present it to the jury.

We discuss Bethany’s approach to marketing and her social media presence. She gives us her thoughts on LinkedIn. vs. Instagram and what she is trying to accomplish with her social media videos. 

Me and Bethany both followed the Alex Murdaugh trial closely and we recorded this episode right after closing arguments were presented to the jury. We give our thoughts on the trial, the important pieces of evidence and predicted what a jury was likely to do. 

We also have been following the tragic car wreck out of Athens involving Devin Willock and Chandler LeCoroy. We discuss what happened and the potential criminal charges and civil claims to follow. We also discuss Jalen Carter’s role in the wreck and what his involvement may end up being.

Lots of great takeaways here.
