Going to mediation Monday for a case with a cervical fusion surgery, fractured hand, carpel tunnel surgery, and several epidurals. Client is recommended for a subsequent fusion and had to live in his car for three months because he couldn't work. Past meds are about 350K and future meds are about 250K. Although we would get a lifecare plan if it goes to trial. I am co-counseling it with Michael Alder (you can google his name). Split is 50/50.

Our opening demand is policy limits of 5 million. This is one of my biggest cases.

I would be happy to let someone tag along if they are interested (only one though). It is in downtown LA.

Quick read through:

What's the liability dispute? Sounds like it's clear cut.

I can guarantee the defense will get a bill review expert on this one.

Sounds like you're going to have a ton of money after this settles. Has D made an offer yet?

No offer yet, but the defense attorney was the one who suggested mediation. I imagine they are coming with a lot of authority.

Why aren't you demanding a multiple of the policy limit with the hope of settling for the limit instead of starting out at $5 mill.

For one, the case isn't worth 10 million and it would be a non-starter for settlement discussions. And two, there is no exposure to the carrier above 5 million, so that won't really scare them much.

I see

I've only done one PI case in biglaw (med mal pro bono) and even though we knew it would settle for $29,999 we still started off much higher. I guess for obvious reasons they were scared of going above 30k, though.

Demanding above policy limits early on is idiotic. You can't "open the policy" that way

I don't want to post what I would take yet, because I don't know if anyone involved in the case reads these boards. All I can say is that we are looking for a significant number.

It would actually be very helpful to see how this is done and negotiating tactics. I have only been to one mediation and it was between companies and a shit show that didn't resolve.

Defense topped out at 800k. Our last demand was 1.6 mil. We were too far apart for a mediator's proposal and the adjuster wasn't willing to go to a million. I still think it will settle but we need to get closer to trial.
