Kyle Moore on Invading Iraq, Suing the Federal Government Over Vaccines,

What happens when an Eagle Scout who turned 18 in Marine Corps bootcamp, drove a 5,000-gallon jet fuel tanker through Southern Iraq all the way to Baghdad providing aviation support to attack helicopters during the invasion, comes home, goes to law school, spends 13 years fighting insurance companies in courtrooms, becomes one of only a few hundred attorneys in America authorized to sue the federal government on behalf of people hurt by vaccines, and then teaches himself Python so he can build software to help accident victims who don't need a lawyer figure out what their case is actually worth? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Kyle Moore, trial attorney and trial consultant based in Georgia, about why the first call you make after a car accident to the other driver's insurance company could quietly damage your case before it even starts, how he turns police reports that don't assign fault into leverage by deposing the officer and asking two or three very specific questions, and why the entire model of multiplying medical bills by three to calculate pain and suffering is an eighties formula that no longer reflects how real juries actually decide cases. Kyle explains what the difference is between a settlement mill and a boutique litigation firm, why he chose to stay small and keep every case under his personal control, and how a trucking case in rural conservative North Georgia became one of the top 50 verdicts in America in 2020 — built around a single lie a driver told his medical examiner to get his DOT certificate. They also discuss the Baker Principle — if his nine-year-old can understand it and feel wronged by it, a jury will too — why he is now building a software platform called My Smart Settlement to help accident victims value their own cases without giving away a third to a lawyer they don't need, how vaccine injury cases work under a federal compensation system that most people don't know exists, and why his motivation throughout his entire career from Eagle Scout to Marine to trial lawyer has been the same: take trash and turn it into treasure. Kyle Moore is a trial attorney and trial consultant based in Georgia, handling personal injury, trucking cases, and federal vaccine injury claims nationwide.
