In our latest New York issue, we also feature Anna Mercado Clark, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM, FIP, a business litigator at Phillips Lytle who is an expert in security, crypto and AI law. “I feel like I spend most of my time, when I’m talking about AI, calming people down,” she says. “People are very alarmed, partly because news coverage has sensationalized it a bit and also because there’s so much unknown.” https://lnkd.in/ga9TGej3

A 33-year-old Texas man left permanently paralyzed was awarded $59.7 million by a state jury in Beaumont, Texas. The suit said Kiet “Ricky” Tuan Do was experiencing severe neck pain on Aug. 13, 2019, when he went to a clinic, where his legs collapsed. He was transferred to Baptist Hospital in Beaumont, where the suit alleges his medical assessments were delayed. By the time a mass or bleeding was discovered on his cervical spine, it alleges, it was too late for the possibility of a healthy recovery. PI attorney Cody Dishon, with The Ferguson Law Firm in Beaumont, handled the suit against Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas and a doctor who treated Do there. https://lnkd.in/g-vNg2dC
