Tip the Scales 142. Attorney Takeover! David Muñoz, Tripp Segars - From the BP Oil Spill to Nationwide Mass Torts
On this week’s episode, host David Muñoz sits down with Tripp Segars of Diaz Law Firm. Tripp shares lessons from evaluating 20,000+ BP oil spill claims, his work on other mass torts (talc, Camp Lejeune, and NEC infant formula), and why he insists attorneys meet clients in their homes to understand the full story. They discuss trucking litigation, Mississippi’s damage caps and deregulation pushes, uninsured motorist realities, and how autonomous vehicles may shift crashes from negligence to products cases. Tripp also reflects on becoming a father, why that deepened his empathy for clients—especially premature infants harmed by dangerous formulas—and how verdicts and advocacy can move policy in the right direction.
