Lump Sum Settlements in Your Georgia Work Injury Case
Workers compensation cases in Georgia do not have to end with a lump sum settlement and no judge is going to order the insurance company to issue a lump sum cash payment to you. Instead, Georgia work injury cases settle because you want to settle and the insurance company agrees on a dollar figure to close out your case. As I discuss in this video, you should not settle your case for a lump sum unless you and your lawyer decide that the time is right. When you settle, your weekly benefits payments (TTD checks) will stop. Your company paid medical care will also stop. At Ginsberg Law Offices, I only recommend settlement when the medical records tell me that my client’s medical condition is stable or that we can estimate future medical needs, or that, based on my experience, this is t...

Westward Expansion: Crash Course US History #24
In which John Green teaches you about the Wild, Wild, West, which as it turns out, wasn't as wild as it seemed in the movies. When we think of the western expansion of the United States in the 19th century, we're conditioned to imagine the loner. The self-reliant, unattached cowpoke roaming the prairie in search of wandering calves, or the half-addled prospector who has broken from reality thanks to the solitude of his single-minded quest for gold dust. While there may be a grain of truth to these classic Hollywood stereotypes, it isn't a very big grain of truth. Many of the pioneers who settled the west were family groups. Many were immigrants. Many were major corporations. The big losers in the westward migration were Native Americans, who were killed or moved onto reservations. Not cool...

Tips on Settlement with Ongoing Medical Problems - Georgia Workers' Compensation
Sometimes a client will say, Mr. Keener, I want to settle my Georgia Workers' Compensation case but I can't because I'm still having medical problems. My reply to that is this; if you were not having any medical problems, or you were not expected to have any medical problems in the future. Or, if your medical problems were not affecting your ability to earn money now or in the future, guess how much your case would be worth. Zero. The only reason the insurance company will ever pay to settle a workers compensation case is to relieve themselves of the financial exposure associated with your case. And, the more clearly the insurance company recognizes their financial exposure on your case, the more they will pay to settle your case. If you have a medical problem that is not well docume...

Workers Compensation Settlements in Georgia | Rechtman & Spevak
I am often asked about settlements in Georgia workers' compensation cases. First of all, you have must understand that you can't get a settlement whenever you want. Settlements have to be agreed to by all the party's involved. It has to be when you want a settlement, the insurance company wants a settlement, the employer wants a settlement and everyone is on the same page and wants a settlement. If you are the only one who wants a settlement, it is often not going to happen. The factors that determine the workers' compensation settlement and the amount of the settlement depends on how much your case will cost the insurance company throughout your life if it is not settled. Every case is different, some of the factors include how old you are, how much are your weekly benefits (which are dep...

How a Mediation Can Help You Recover a Lump Sum Settlement
Mediation can be a very effective tool in reaching a fair settlement of your Georgia workers’ compensation case. As I discuss in this video, workers’ compensation judges do not have the power to order the insurance company to pay out a lump sum, so the only way to reach a cash settlement would be through direct negotiation with the insurance company or through a mediation involving a neutral third party. I have found that mediation can be very effective if we choose the right time to negotiate and if we choose the right mediator. An impartial mediator will help both sides look at the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and a good mediator will offer input about a reasonable settlement value. This can be very helpful if the insurance company has an unreasonably low estimate about the ...

Typically, an insurance company will offer a very low settlement amount for a concussion, because concussions generally don't cause life-lasting repercussions. However, Ronnie was a different case. At first, Ronnie treated with the Chiropractor for his soft tissue (whiplash and back problems) injuries, which eventually healed. Ronnie also suffered migraines, frequently. His treatment with the chiropractor was not helping his migraines go away.

Then we referred Mark to an orthopedic surgeon who was able to diagnose Mark by means of an MRI. Mark had a herniated disc. The surgeon recommended surgery. Yet, there was no guarantee that the surgery would help Mark.
We helped Mark through these difficult decisions, and eventually Mark got the surgery. We are happy to say that the surgery was successful and Mark is on his way to recovery.

How to Improve Your Settlement with Mediation - Georgia Workers' Compensation

Mediation is a time for all the parties to a case to meet together with a neutral 3rd party professionally trained mediator to try to get your case settled. It usually takes place either at the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation, or at the office of the mediator.
Who is going to be there? Usually it's: You and your lawyer, Insurance company lawyer, The mediator
Sometimes, an insurance company adjuster or a representative from the employer will be there, but not usually.
What's the role of the mediator? (Their role is that of a neutral third party. He or she doesn't have a dog in the fight so to speak. They are not your friend, but they are not the friend of the other side either. They will frequently say they are the friend of the deal. They're just trying to get the case settled. That's their job.)
What's your role at the mediation? Are you going to have to talk? Don't worry about that. With the right lawyer, most clients are happy to know they won't have to say a word. If you are not comfortable talking about your case and don't know how to express all the issues, don't worry, that's why you picked out an experienced lawyer. An experienced lawyer will be very familiar with your case and very familiar with the laws that apply to your case. If you do want to say something, that's probably ok too. You're just going to want to talk about it with your lawyer before you do. You don't want to accidentally say something that could wreck your case.
At the beginning of mediation all the parties will come together in the same room. They'll basically introduce themselves and say hello. The facts of your case may be discussed at that time in the group meeting or the lawyers may have already provided a case summary to the mediator.
After the initial meeting the parties will generally break up into two separate rooms. One with you and your lawyer, and a completely different room with the other parties. After that the mediator will walk back and forth between the rooms discussing the good and bad parts of your case and conveying settlement offers back and forth between the parties.
Don't worry if you think the mediation is getting off to a slow start. There is usually a certain amount of jockeying or posturing at the beginning of the mediation until both sides settle into the real negotiations later on.
There are lots of different mediation strategies and an experienced lawyer will help you choose the one that is best for your particular case.
Also, please realize that during the mediation you will have plenty of private time with your lawyer where the two of you can discuss what's going on and what strategy to use to get you the very best settlement possible.
At the end of the mediation your case will have either settle or not. If you do get your case settled, you'll probably have your money within about 30 days. On the other hand, if it doesn't settle, your case just continues on as though the mediation never happened.
A mediation is usually the very best opportunity for all the parties to come together to try to get your case settled. You need to realize that in order to get the most value for your case, there will be good and bad times during your case to seek a mediation. It's important to have an experienced lawyer help you figure out the very best time to mediate your case.
If you and your lawyer have chosen the very best time to mediate your case and you've chosen an experienced lawyer to build and present your case, you'll stand the very best opportunity to have your case settled for the most value.
Be sure you have a lawyer representing you with plenty of mediation experience. You'll likely only get one chance to get it right. So you're going to want to make it count.

Tips on Settlement with Ongoing Medical Problems - Georgia Workers' Compensation

- Duration: 2:48
- Updated: 30 Apr 2013
- views: 11135
Sometimes a client will say, Mr. Keener, I want to settle my Georgia Workers' Compensation case but I can't because I'm still having medical problems. My reply to that is this; if you were not having any medical problems, or you were not expected to have any medical problems in the future. Or, if your medical problems were not affecting your ability to earn money now or in the future, guess how much your case would be worth. Zero.
The only reason the insurance company will ever pay to settle a workers compensation case is to relieve themselves of the financial exposure associated with your case.
And, the more clearly the insurance company recognizes their financial exposure on your case, the more they will pay to settle your case.
If you have a medical problem that is not well documented, as far as the insurance company is concerned, it doesn't exist and they are not going to pay you for it.
When you visit your doctor, it is critically important that your doctor write into his medical records all of your problems. He or she can only do that if they are aware of your medical problems. I tell my clients that when they go to see the doctor make a list of all your medical problems in advance so when you get to your doctor's appointment you don't forget to talk with your doctor about a problem you are having and then all your medical problems get written into the doctor's records.
It's a win/win situation... when your doctor understands ALL of your medical problems can he or she prescribe a treatment plan to address all of the medical issues you have suffered from your job injury. When your medical records reflect the full extent of all the medical issues you are having from your job injury, the insurance company will be in the best position possible to accurately evaluate your case and settle your case for full value.
Trust me, the insurance company will not help you understand the full extent of your medical issues and will frequently even block your ability to see a doctor or get objective testing so that those other issues are not included in the value of your settlement. Don't let that happen to you. Make sure that before your case is settled, all of your medical issues are fully documented. Doctors are busy and frequently this takes multiple communications with the doctor to make sure all of your issues are fully documented and fully identified as being related to your original job injury.

This old documentary film (produced in 1953) traces the discovery of America and early voyages by European explorers. It shows the Native American civilizations encountered by the Spanish, the Spanish colonization, The English freebooters on the Spanish Main, and the life of early settlers in New England and the South.
Historical Background / Context:
The colonial history of the United States covers the history of European settlements from the start of colonization of America until their incorporation into the United States. In the late 16th century, England, France, Spain and the Netherlands launched major colonization programs in eastern North America. Small early attempts often disappeared; the death rate was very high among the first arrivals. Nevertheless. Nevertheless, successful colonies were established.
European settlers came from a variety of social and religious groups. No aristocrats settled permanently, but a number of adventurers, soldiers, farmers, and tradesmen arrived. Diversity was an American characteristic as the Dutch of New Netherland, the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden, the English Quakers of Pennsylvania, the English Puritans of New England, the English settlers of Jamestown, and the "worthy poor" of Georgia, came to the new continent and built colonies with distinctive social, religious, political and economic styles.
Non-British colonies were taken over and the inhabitants were all assimilated. There were no major civil wars among the 13 colonies, and the two chief armed rebellions (in Virginia in 1676 and in New York in 1689-91) were short-lived failures. Wars were recurrent between the French and the British – the so-called French and Indian Wars (1754–1763) especially - and involved French support for Wabanaki attacks on the frontiers. By 1760 France was defeated and the British seized its colonies.
On the eastern seaboard of what would become the United States, the four distinct British regions were: New England, the Middle Colonies, the Chesapeake Bay Colonies (Upper South) and the Lower South. By the time European settlers arrived around 1600 - 1650, a significant percentage of the Native Americans living in the eastern United States had been ravaged by new diseases, introduced to them possibly possibly introduced to them decades before by explorers and sailors.
Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.
English colonies
England made its first successful efforts at the start of the 17th century for several reasons. During this era, English proto-nationalism and national assertiveness blossomed under the threat of Spanish invasion, assisted by a degree of Protestant militarism and the energy of Queen Elizabeth. At this time, however, there was no official attempt by the English government to create a colonial empire. Rather, the motivation behind the founding of colonies was piecemeal and variable. Practical considerations, such as commercial enterprise, overpopulation and the desire for freedom of religion, played their parts. The main waves of settlement came in the 17th century. After 1700 most immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants - young unmarried men and women seeking a new life in a much richer environment. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, the British shipped an estimated 50,000 convicts to its American colonies. The first convicts to arrive pre-dated the arrival of the Mayflower.
New England
New England is the oldest clearly defined region of the United States. While New England was originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, English Pilgrims and especially Puritans, fleeing religious persecution in England, arrived in the 1620-1660 era. They dominated the region; their religion was later called Congregationalism. They and their descendants are called Yankees. Farming, fishing and lumbering prospered, as did seafaring and merchandising.

A settlement offer has been made by your employer's insurance company. The offer includes a reference to something called a Medicare Set Aside, or MSA.
How will an MSA impact the check you will get after all the paperwork is signed? In this video I explain how MSAs can make it more difficult to settle and what options are available to you and your lawyer.

Workers Compensation Settlements in Georgia | Rechtman & Spevak

I am often asked about settlements in Georgia workers' compensation cases. First of all, you have must understand that you can't get a settlement whenever you want. Settlements have to be agreed to by all the party's involved. It has to be when you want a settlement, the insurance company wants a settlement, the employer wants a settlement and everyone is on the same page and wants a settlement. If you are the only one who wants a settlement, it is often not going to happen. The factors that determine the workers' compensation settlement and the amount of the settlement depends on how much your case will cost the insurance company throughout your life if it is not settled. Every case is different, some of the factors include how old you are, how much are your weekly benefits (which are dependent on how much you were earning when you were hurt), and how long do you expect to be disabled. http://www.rsinjurylawyers.com/video/workers-compensation-settlements-in-georgia.cfm

Sneaky Settlement Tactics: "What's Your Bottom Line Number?"
NY Medical Malpractice Attorney Gerry Oginski Explains

You would think that when you tell a defense lawyer what your bottom line number is to settle a lawsuit, that means that's the minimum amount you will take in order to settle the case.
It's amazing however that defense attorneys and their insurance companies fail to recognize that attorneys mean what they say and say what they mean.
You would think that if you tell your adversary that your bottom-line number is $1 million and not a penny less that they wouldn't come back to you with an offer of $950,000.
You would think that if your bottom-line number to settle your medical malpractice case was $1 million, that they wouldn't come back with an offer of $997,500.
You'd be surprised at how often this occurs.
It's almost like walking into the pawn shop to sell an item and the pawn dealer asks you what your bottom line number that you will accept. No matter what you tell him, he will likely offer you less than the number you just disclosed to him.
There are some lawsuits where the defense would like to settle the case, but for whatever reason, don't want to pay your bottom line number.
In some cases, they are willing to accept the fact that they will have to pay very close to that amount yet have a problem paying the full amount you're asking for.
Let's go back to the example above where we tell the defense that your bottom line settlement number is $1 million dollars. There are many instances where a defense attorney will come back with an offer of $950,000, if they are inclined to settle. This is a sneaky settlement technique designed to put great pressure on you, the injured client.
Not only am I obligated to discuss the defense's settlement offer with you, but I must also explain to you the risks of accepting and not accepting such a substantial offer.
Many times if the judge is involved with the negotiations he may put pressure on both sides, arguing that it is ridiculous to try this case which will last two or three weeks over a difference of $50,000 or $25,000 or even $10,000.
In some instances, that argument would be accurate.

I had to make this video for 2 reasons. 1 is because in the video I originally posted that has over 3 million views has over 8,000 comments, many of which people telling me I have to perform a Field Sobriety Test or result is arrest. This video proves the outcome which many didn't believe. Secondly, this video shows that officer Koby Arnold is still an employed officer of the santa monica police department which was also a question I frequently received.

How a Mediation Can Help You Recover a Lump Sum Settlement
- Order:
- Duration: 4:18
- Updated: 10 May 2017
- views: 874
Mediation can be a very effective tool in reaching a fair settlement of your Georgia workers’ compensation case. As I discuss in this video, workers’ compensation judges do not have the power to order the insurance company to pay out a lump sum, so the only way to reach a cash settlement would be through direct negotiation with the insurance company or through a mediation involving a neutral third party.
I have found that mediation can be very effective if we choose the right time to negotiate and if we choose the right mediator. An impartial mediator will help both sides look at the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and a good mediator will offer input about a reasonable settlement value. This can be very helpful if the insurance company has an unreasonably low estimate about the value of your case.
In many ways a mediation is kind of like a mini-trial of your case, but either side can back out if negotiations hit an impasse. My experience, however, has been that if you have a strong case, a mediation can be the most effective tool to reach a fair, lump sum settlement.

Car Accident & Head Injury Attorney in Douglasville, Georgia

https://murphylawyer.com
Our client, Ronnie, suffered a concussion from his auto accident in Georgia. Typically, an insurance company will offer a very low settlement amount for a concussion, because concussions generally don't cause life-lasting repercussions. However, Ronnie was a different case. At first, Ronnie treated with the Chiropractor for his soft tissue (whiplash and back problems) injuries, which eventually healed.
Ronnie also suffered migraines, frequently. His treatment with the chiropractor was not helping his migraines go away. At first, Ronnie was not going to get a lawyer, but because the insurance company wasn't going to give him a fair amount, he finally decided to get help. He called James Murphy, an attorney at Murphy Law Firm in Douglasville, GA.
James recommended he get checked out by a doctor for his migraines, so we helped him get to a neurologist. The neurologist diagnosed the issue Ronnie was having, and told the court that there was a good chance that Ronnie's concussion would have life-long effects, and that he could possibly have the migraines for the rest of his life.
We were able to settle Ronnie's case for $50,000.
If you hire us as your law firm, we can't guarantee that we will be able to get you the same settlement amount, because each case is different. BUT we can promise that we will fight for you just as hard as we fought for Ronnie, and try and get you the maximum amount of compensation available to you for your Georgia auto accident.

Transcript:
You know, you generally feel pretty safe when you are in a big pickup truck driving down a country road in Douglas County. And Ronnie felt safe on the morning he was going to work, no traffic on the road, but when a teenage kid turned out of a convenient store, and T-boned him on his drivers side. There wasn't a thing Ronnie could do to protect himself. Fortunately Ronnie had his seat belt on, but the unfortunate thing was that he hit his head on the window on the drivers side. When he went to the emergency room, the doctor said he had a concussion. After that, Ronnie tried to get on with his life, saw the chiropractor, had some adjustments, and was generally feeling ok in his neck and back. But the problem was, his headaches didn't seem to want to go away. Ronnie didn't want to talk to a lawyer, but as the statute of limitations started to approach, he came in to see me. We were able to file suit, and fortunately Ronnie got to see a neurologist that was able to treat him and determine that the headaches he was experiencing were migraine headaches that were related to the car accident. Before Ronnie saw the neurologist, the insurance company was offering a very small amount of money on his case and it didn't make sense for Ronnie to settle. It took almost 4 years for Ronnie to document the injuries and to fully understand what was happening to him. We settled the case for close to $50,000. I can't guarantee you a result like this in your case, but if you come to see me before you settle with the insurance company, I can give you advice about what may be the best course to take.
Please be advised that this video is not legal advice. I'm not your lawyer until you and I enter a written agreement for me to be your lawyer. I know the arguments the insurance company will make - and so should you - even before you file your claim. I can offer suggestions and identify traps, but please do not construe anything in this video to be legal advice about your case, as each case is different and an attorney can only give you quality legal advice when he or she understands the facts involved in your case.

Settlements for nursing home abuse in Georgia

If you or a loved one have been injured in a car accident or in a nursing home, then please call (678) 823-7678 and speak to an experienced Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyer at Schenk Smith today. Or, feel free to browse https://www.schenksmith.com for more information about your case.
When a nursing home or assisted living facility abuses or neglects a resident, which causes that resident’s injury or death, then that facility is responsible and liable to the resident for the harms caused. This is the basis of nursing home abuse and neglect lawsuits in Georgia.
However, not all nursing home abuse cases are taken to trial. Like most other personal injury cases, there are times when it is advantageous to settle a claim prior to verdict. Taking claims through litigation can be very expensive. In our civil justice system, each side pays its own way- even the non-liable party. So, settlement will make sense when the amount offered by the nursing home’s insurance company is close to an amount that would have been received at trial, less expenses.
At Schenk Smith, we only accept a nursing home abuse or negligence case with the understanding that if we do not receive an appropriate settlement offer, we take the case to trial, or where applicable, to arbitration. This lets the nursing home insurers know that we are serious about our cases.
Still, we are sensitive to the desires of our clients. Some of our clients do not wish to “relive” the incident that lead to their loved one’s death. Some wish to stay out of court. We understand that. In those cases, and others, we reach out to the nursing home’s insurance company and attempt to mediate a settlement prior to filing suit.
With mediation, both sides present evidence, and an independent mediator attempts to facilitate a settlement. If both parties agree, then the case settles then and there and the case is over. We have found that mediation is an excellent way to bring resolution to a claim, and our clients have been very happy with the results.
Our office has settled claims for nursing home abuse and neglect through mediation for different types of claims, including bed sores and other physical injuries, among others. If your loved one has been injured or passed away at a nursing home or assisted living facility, and you are wondering what your settlement options are, then please, feel free to call and speak to one of our experienced Georgia nursing home abuse lawyers today. Our consultations are always free.
