Show Notes
Kevin Daisey, the host of the Managing Partners podcast and the founder of Array Digital, welcomed his guest Jon Groth to the show. Jon is a personal injury attorney in Wisconsin, with offices in Milwaukee and other parts of the state. He also has a unique practice with full time staff and attorneys that work with vaccine law, which has been around since the 1980s and is not limited to Wisconsin but is also international. Clients have come from as far away as Siberia. Jon's law firm website is GrothLawFirm.com. This conversation was a great opportunity to learn more about Jon's practice, the unique vaccine law he works with, and the stateside and international clients he serves.
Jon discussed the impact of COVID on vaccine law. He stated that media outlets contacted him about people who might be injured due to the COVID vaccine and that currently the vaccine is covered by immunity, meaning it is difficult to get compensation. He believes that in the future the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program will include the COVID vaccine and will make it easier to get compensation. Additionally, there have been more flu vaccines administered, leading to an increased likelihood of injury. As a result, Jon expects to see an increase in cases over the years.
The speaker is a personal injury attorney based in Milwaukee. He has recently been receiving a lot of calls and interviews due to the influx of vaccine-related questions. He mainly deals with single-event car crashes, such as a passenger being hit by an Uber driver or a person being hit by a UPS truck. In addition, he has been receiving a lot of cases involving passengers in Ubers and Lyfts, and Milwaukee has a high number of car thefts.
The conversation is about a law firm and the growing gang problem in the area. The people stealing Kias and Hondas are mostly kids and one is stolen a week. Jon's dad was a race car driver who said that it was harder to steal a car in the 1950s than it is to steal a Kia in 2023. The law firm is always hiring and currently has five lawyers, with a goal of having around seven in the next few months to a year. They have around thirty staff in total.
