Nursing Home Cases – Advice
An issue that often arises in nursing home cases involves getting an expert’s report. The expert’s report must address whether the level of skill used at the nursing home in your loved one’s situation fell below the accepted legal standard for nursing homes. Our firm has been using a nationally recognized medical doctor/expert to assist us in such claims. So if you have a nursing home or any elder abuse case, please call us.

Practical Tip Section – Help For You In Your Everyday Life
If you are in an auto accident and your insurance company and the other person involved in your accident have the same insurance, say Nationwide, State Farm or Erie, you may get a break. The break is that even if the accident is your fault, if the accident you were involved in has the same insurance as the other driver, they may waive responsibility and not list it as a chargeable accident against you in the future.
Practical Tip Section – Best Offers At Mediations
How do we really know what is the insurance company’s final best offer? Each case is different. But when I really think that is their top offer, I usually ask for $5,000 more. Why? Because the worst that can happen is the insurance company will not budge. Then you really do know you are getting the best offer for your client! My sole goal is to get YOU the most money for your injury claim. Hey, that should be the title of a book. Wait that is the title of the book I wrote about auto accident cases! Want a free copy?

How Judges And Lawyers Assess The Value Of A Claim
When you are involved in a serious slip & fall or auto collision, the question is what’s the value of the case?
Liability is often conceded in rear-ender accidents. So how do people who regularly handle these kinds of cases get a handle on what the case is worth? Well one thing I use are past verdicts for similar types of accidents under similar circumstances. No two cases are alike so it is difficult to gauge the answer to that question solely from past verdicts. However, if 10 prior juries all said that the RANGE OF VALUE for a soft tissue rear-end auto accident is $15 to 20,000, for example, that IS pretty strong evidence that your jury would likely come in within that range.
The Picture Concept
If 2 people are looking at a picture, one may think the value of that picture is “X” and another person may think the value of that same picture is “Y”. X and Y might be $50,000 apart. That is basically the dilemma we face in trying to assess case value. One thing you can be sure of, though, is the advice I provide you is my honest assessment of your claim.
