Date: August 11th, 2020 3:46 PM Author: concupiscible tripping background story When a case needs to settle, you get tremendous pushback because the dollars are too big. When you need an expert, you get tremendous pushback because the dollars are too big. You get to pay mediators $600-700 an hour to resolve the case you've been working away on for $35/hour and pay plaintiffs who have jobs as painter and waiter and "unemployed" hundreds of thousands of dollars and get to watch them leave their neckbrace or cane behind as they waltz out to hit the bar after the settlement memorandum is signed at mediation. |

Date: August 11th, 2020 3:51 PM Author: concupiscible tripping background story PA stands for per annum. You are most certainly not paid per file. Honestly, the result on these files doesn't even matter too much. If you supremely suck, you may lose work, but you could just as easily lose the work for a dozen other reasons that are completely out of your control. |

Date: August 11th, 2020 4:00 PM Author: concupiscible tripping background story 1. Plaintiff goes to the doctor and the doctor prescribes a cane or neck brace. 2. Plaintiff brings the neck brace or cane to the mediation because it was prescribed by the doctor. 3. Case settles. 4. It no longer matters what the doctor said/prescribed because the case has resolved. 5. Plaintiff leaves the medical refuse behind for someone else to clean up. |

Date: August 11th, 2020 4:09 PM Author: Exciting Tanning Salon You've seen this, I'm guessing?
Lol. I've never had this happen and it's not just because my clients are always hurt and in need of help. I would *kill* a client who wanted to take something off like that while we were sitting around waiting for the agreement to be drawn up.
Sloppy plaintiff's lawyer there then. Don't raise credibility issues that might come up in a subsequent case w the same players. |

Date: August 11th, 2020 4:11 PM Author: concupiscible tripping background story Hey man, I don't hate the players one bit. I go off of what the doctors say anyway. When I report on a case I say so-and-so, a DOCTOR (usually leave off the of Osteopathic) says this about the injury and this about the cost of care for the rest of plaintiff's life, so settling for this would be a great deal!

Date: August 11th, 2020 4:05 PM Author: Impertinent Useless Ratface Stag Film Why not collude with the plaintiffs' counsel to reach favorable, quicker settlements in exchange for kickbacks?

Date: August 11th, 2020 4:09 PM Author: concupiscible tripping background story 1. This is unethical; 2. The plaintiff's attorney would just laugh at you (see no. 1) and just handle the case as he saw fit; 3. You shake your head and realize that you didn't even have anything at all to offer the Plaintiff's attorney and, unless he just does nothing because of the crushing weight of it all, you will still end up paying him a lot of money once he demonstrates his ability to perform the requisite dance steps. |

Date: August 11th, 2020 4:15 PM Author: Impertinent Useless Ratface Stag Film Practicing law for $78k per year is unethical and, frankly, retarded. Why would you subject yourself to this god awful profession and its attendant stress and 24/7 demands when you could make just as much as a bartender at a nice bar or as a salesman at a car dealership?
