A History Overlooked:  Women’s Health and the Cost of Safety

In this episode of On The Docket with Napoli Shkolnik, Senior Attorney Maria Fleming and Dr. Soleil Carrillo examine the larger pattern connecting several major litigations involving products and medications widely used by women. The conversation explores how women’s health has historically been under-researched and misunderstood, from clinical trials that underrepresented women to long-term risks that were not fully recognized until years later. Through discussions surrounding GLP-1 drugs, talcum powder, Depo-Provera, hair relaxers, and transvaginal mesh, the episode highlights the recurring questions at the center of these cases: Were patients fully informed of the risks, and why does accountability often come only after widespread harm is alleged? They also discuss the broader medical and societal issues tied to these litigations, including the dismissal of symptoms, gaps in long-term safety research, and the importance of patient advocacy and awareness. This episode also explores how mass tort litigation can help uncover information, drive transparency, and create accountability beyond individual cases.

The Hidden Memo: How Corporate Secrets Come To Light | Hunter Shkolnik & Chris LoPalo

In this episode of On The Docket with Napoli Shkolnik, partners Hunter Shkolnik and Chris LoPalo explore how internal documents expose what institutions knew long before the public did. Using the Flint water crisis as a central example, they examine how early warnings, internal emails, and compliance reports revealed risks that were not immediately communicated to the public. The discussion unpacks a troubling pattern seen across major litigation, including opioid cases, where documentation showed awareness of harm before full transparency followed. Hunter and Chris explain how discovery becomes the key tool in uncovering hidden information, how a single memo can reshape a case, and why forcing transparency strengthens public safety and accountability. From public health crises to corporate misconduct, this conversation highlights the broader role litigation plays in protecting communities and ensuring that truth ultimately comes to light.

Justice on the Rails: The Fight for Railroad Workers | Hunter Shkolnik & Chris Schnieders

Railroad companies move America, but when they cut corners, workers pay the price. In this episode, we sit down with Hunter Shkolnik and Chris Schnieders to break down what really happens when rail workers are injured and forced to take on powerful corporations. We unpack the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), why it’s not workers’ comp, and why proving negligence can make or break a case. We also dive into a major moment of accountability: Napoli Shkolnik’s $21.8 million settlement for a Norfolk Southern worker. What did it mean for one family—and why do results like this matter far beyond a single case? From derailments to toxic exposure, we zoom out to show how rail safety isn’t just a workplace issue, but a community and environmental one affecting everyone living near the tracks.
