Ep. 4: Act 28 Strategy on Both Sides
Host Jamie Jones leads a cordial, civil point-counterpoint on Arkansas’s Act 28— the new law that limits recovery of past medical expenses to amounts actually paid or owed. Plaintiff lawyers Jessica Virden Mallett (Managing Partner, Miller & Mallett) and Brian Brooks square up with defense lawyers Jason Hendren (Hall Booth Smith P.C.) and Haley Heath Chaney (Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani) to unpack how Act 28 reshapes pleadings, discovery, settlement leverage, and trial strategy on both sides of the “v.” Practical, balanced, and Arkansas-focused.
