Scary Stuff That Has Nothing to Do With Accidents, Injuries, or People Physically Hurt, But Hurt Financially is Another Matter EntirelyIt seems a lot of consumers are afraid of bank failure and taking drastic measures to protect their hard earned savings. Venue-what is It?Venue refers to the county in New York State where a lawsuit is fought and brought to trial. The party bringing the lawsuit selects the venue when filing a complaint. In personal injury cases venue can be especially important because juries in different counties have reputations for being more or less generous with accident victims. The Summary Judgment WeaponIn a lawsuit to recover for personal injury suffered in a motor vehicle accident, sometimes liability is clear cut. When I represent a client in a lawsuit claiming injury because a car rear-ended his or her vehicle, or because the other car ran a stop sign, I usually file papers with the court, known as a "motion," seeking "summary judgment." This means that I am asking the judge to direct a favorable verdict for my client based just on the papers submitted, without need for a jury trial. I Had an Accident Two Months Ago - Why Do My Neck & Back Still Hurt?So, you had an accident. You slipped and fell, or maybe you were involved in a car collision. You thought you were okay, a little sore maybe, bumps and bruises – nothing serious. No broken bones. You noticed your back and neck started feeling tight, stiff and you couldn’t move as freely as you could before the accident. You used a heating pad, took some pain relievers, and maybe saw your family doctor, just in case. But weeks have gone by, and you still hurt. Your Children Must Always be in Car SeatsToo often I see children standing up in cars, looking out the back window or just sitting on laps. Don't parents know that in an accident the body of an unrestrained child becomes a projectile, bouncing around the interior of the car? What is Arbitration and Mediation?Arbitration and mediation are two types of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which is a way to resolve conflicts outside of traditional lawsuits and courtrooms. Sometimes attorneys are involved and sometimes not. What is an "infant Compromise"?Legally, an "infant" is a person under age eighteen. In New York State, an infant's case can not be settled without the approval of a judge, not even if the parent wants to accept the settlement. This situation typically arises when the infant has a claim or lawsuit for personal injury arising out of an accident. The reason is simple: to protect the infant and tie up his or her money at least until the age of eighteen. A Conflict of Interest - What is It?Attorneys are supposed to represent their clients competently and diligently and to the utmost of their abilities. Attorneys are not allowed to accept employment where their loyalties may be divided because it's a conflict of interest. What is a Deposition?To remove the mystery about a deposition: it is a question and answer session which takes place under oath, with a stenographic reporter present to take down all that is said. A deposition may also be tape recorded or videotaped. It is sometimes also called an "examination before trial." What is an Independent Medical Examination?Independent medical examination (IME) is a fancy term for being examined by a doctor when you are involved in some kind of claim or lawsuit where your physical or mental condition or an injury is in dispute.
