  • EP9 Disability Warriors: The Download. Winter Accidents & Injury Law with Jordan Lebovitz
    Jan 4 2026

    Winter brings more than cold weather, it brings real risks.

    In this episode of Disability Warriors: The Download, Michael sits down with Jordan Leibovitz, partner at one of Ohio’s leading personal injury law firms, for an honest, insightful, and surprisingly entertaining conversation about winter accidents, injury law, and protecting yourself when things go wrong.

    From slip-and-fall accidents and low-speed but high-impact car crashes, to commercial truck safety, Jordan breaks down what people don’t realize about winter hazards , and how a single moment can change someone’s life.

    What makes this episode different?
    Jordan isn’t just an injury attorney, he’s also CDL-certified, meaning he’s trained as a commercial truck driver. That unique perspective gives him firsthand insight into truck visibility, winter driving dangers, and why so many serious crashes happen during the colder months

    In this episode, we cover:

    Why winter causes a spike in injury and accident cases
    The truth about slip-and-fall liability (natural vs. unnatural ice accumulation)
    What drivers should never do around large trucks
    How injury cases are valued (economic vs. non-economic damages)
    What “pain and suffering” really means in the legal system
    When punitive damages apply — and why they exist
    Why dignity, storytelling, and empathy matter in legal advocacy
    How lawyers can help people rebuild after life-changing injuries
    We also discuss community impact and giving back, including support for organizations like the Ronald McDonald House, which helps families during medical crises

    This episode blends real legal insight, practical safety advice, and authentic conversation, with a little humor along the way, all focused on one mission: helping people feel informed, protected, and never alone.
