I often hear from my prospective clients, people who have been seriously injured by the negligence of others, “I am not sue happy, I just want what is fair.”

I want to talk today about brain injury in the context of the Social Security Administration’s guidelines for disability. You will remember from our previous discussions that there are two sets of rules used to determine whether a person is entitled to disability benefits; The Listings and The Medical Vocational Guidelines (The Grids). The listing specifically contains a listing for Brain Injury.

Young children put almost everything in their mouth, which makes the main goal of choking prevention to keep any small items that your child might choke on out of his mouth.

It may surprise you to know that the Founding Fathers thought so highly of a citizen’s right to ask a jury to determine fair compensation for their injuries, whether to their person, their property, their intellectual rights and so on, that they wrote the seventh amendment into the Bill of Rights.

Medical Protective President and CEO, Timothy Kenesey acknowledges that the perceived threat of law suits or litigation on health care costs is relatively small.  Why is this important? It is important because as the CEO of one of, if not the, biggest medical malpractice insures in the world, Mr. Kenesey would know.  It is important [...]

Mom taught her children that being a good citizen, whether in our neighborhood, our city, our state or our country required us to be responsible for our actions. This included being responsible for making up for the harm we cause.

The first thing to try and do at a collision scene is to stay calm. If you are seriously injured, do not worry about anything but your health. Follow the instructions of the emergency aid providers and let the police investigate the rest of the claim.

It is my experience that cars hit pedestrians at cross walk most often in one of two ways. The first is at the intersection. A driver wants to make a right turn, and to do so is looking to the left for oncoming traffic. Once traffic clears, the driver fails to look left, starts the turn and hits the pedestrian in the crosswalk.

I read in the paper today about a family who lost their son in a tragic accident. The paper indicated that the family rejected vengeance (bringing a claim for wrongful death).

As we all know a serious car accident, a drunk driving accident, a construction accident can lead to very serious personal injuries. If the injured person does not have health insurance, or if the person depends on Medicare, the hospital has the right to file what is called a Hospital lien.

We think that we were all taught as children, by our mothers, is a universal truth. If you make a mess (or cause a harm, or hurt someone, or break a window, and wreck another’s car etc.) you are responsible to admit what you have done and take responsibility to make it right.
