2013 New Year Resolutions

...ed against us. 15. We must continue to try to have our share of the pie in Personal Injury litigation, insurance litigation, “deliberate intent” litigation, medical malpractice, and products liability.

Burt’s Answer to J.B. (I mean Joe)

...o them. If not, they can “hide” me! Ouch. I am a very intense, small town, personal injury, family law, and civil, trial attorney. Today I am working with my paralegal Letetia we are working to get a “pre-birth order” entered for some surrogate parents, of twins! They live out of state.

2021 Revised: Digging Down – On Organizing and Preparing Your Case

...All those pieces must be present for the Court to “picture” the case. In a personal injury claim there are witnesses to the collision, an investigating officer, emergency personnel, photographs, the accident report, cell phone records, medical bills, medical records, journals, lay witnesses who know my client well, expert witnesses, and myriad other “puzzle pieces”.

More About Organizing Your Case.

...yet it is so simple. We start with the three legged stool concept: 1. In a personal injury case, the three legs of the solid stool are: a. Fault on the part of the other party. This may be through simple negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts. b. A serious injury. The bullet that whizzes by your ear that you think “Could have killed me!” is of no consequence if you did not get injured or appreciate what it was. c. A pool of money adequate t...

A CONCISE SUMMARY OF THE FUTURE OF THE LAW

...umers from suing them, and they are succeeding. With contingent fee cases, personal injury, industrial injury, medical malpractice, and insurance bad faith, the lawyers are motivated because there are prospects of good pay days if the lawyer will delay receiving payment and accept a percentage of the final settlement or judgment.
