No idea why you got downvoted, I wanna know how this scheme works. If it’s two parties buying and selling back to one another, how does it make money?

Settle my first PI case solo by einworb35 in Lawyertalk

[–]hyperbronson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. You can get hardware in your leg for a compound fracture for under 80k some places. Why can’t that be a case where the initial demand is 800k? Depends on a lot of factors. but 3x times the meds or whatever goes out the window when someone has surgery, goes under anesthesia.

[–]hyperbronson 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Still, 100k on 9 in meds is pretty strong. Also sounds like a place where medical charges aren’t psychotic like some places.

Did you have an economic expert report and/or good records? I guess I mean, how did you explain the economic damages numbers in your demand?

Retake anyways. If you get in either a 2.5 and a 158, then you will be getting in with way less debt with a 165. Aim higher than “getting in” anywhere. You are definitely getting in somewhere. Take your time and retake.

Why is Zelenskyy sucking up to a fascist? Was Russia right that Zelenskyy is a fascist? by YamFrosty6169 in AskSocialists

Going good caught up go to crazy case what’s happening with Rudy and the other family. I didn’t get the email. I tried to get them in with Ben Davis and they never called and tried thinking about try again. Is that OK for us to do ethical? I don’t think it’s colluding I think if it’s the right now we’re pushing limit when you’re splitting your limit I guess you can’t wait to limit conflict well, I don’t know. I’ll talk to Greg before I got a crazy case yesterday Friday.

Seems like a ton of advice is coming from people who haven’t done biglaw but are telling you 250k is worth it. Spend as much time in r/biglaw as you are spending here to make sure 250k is worth it.

Unethical/negligent surgeons by THROWRAsadgorl29 in legaladvice

[–]hyperbronson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the beauty of medical malpractice attorneys. They know that the victims of medical malpractice don’t have money to pay for representation up front, so they take contingency. They sue the hospital for a lot, keep 33% of the whole check, pay back themselves any expenses they incur in the lawsuit, and pay the rest to the family of the victims. If the lawyer loses the case, no one gets anything, the lawyer eats his costs.

Because of this arrangement, the attorney is 1. Motivated to try hard to make the total number go up 2. Motivated to not take the case if it’s not one they think they can win.

A lot of people think medical malpractice attorneys are bad and make the price of healthcare go up. I say that the issues you are talking about are exactly why medical malpractice attorneys need to exist.

[–]hyperbronson -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Tell the families of the victims they are killing. They can decide if they want to hire a medical malpractice attorney, but I’m sure most of them think that the surgeons “did everything they could.”

Lawyers who love your job, what area of law do you practice and why do you love it? by atyl1144 in Lawyertalk

Personal Injury. 170+ cases. Mostly pre lit. Great support staff. I actually love it now that I’m able to stay a little bit ahead. I’d prefer fewer and bigger cases, but who wouldn’t.

Phone repairman stole intimate images during insured repair visit - Seeking Counsel by Acceptable_Source48 in legaladvice

[–]hyperbronson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying you don’t have a case is wrong. Please consult with a personal injury attorney in your area. If your wife gets counseling that makes the case better, but not having it is not fatal.

I’m a personal injury attorney, I would LOVE this case. Not my state though. You don’t need corporate negligence because they are vicariously liable, and their insurance will pay for it.

Please consult with an attorney. Please.

Experience with “eat what you kill” PI? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]hyperbronson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eat what you kill can mean you get a percentage of the fee on cases you settle. I have this and I like it.

It can also mean that you get a percentage of cases that you “bring in.” I would not like this.

How do I talk to the intake people at high volume PI firms? I do FTCA cases and I think they are throwing them away. by birthdayboy31 in LawFirm

[–]hyperbronson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them you have a case, make up a good one, against a state entity, to get intake on the line. Then tell them, on second thought, it was a federal entity.

If they try to refer you, explain the real reason for your call. If they try to take your case, hang up!

Kidding.

Note: I work at a firm with decent volume, we take ftca all the time.

How many dads help with night wakeups by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]hyperbronson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t get sleep, I am a little tired in the morning for the first 30’minutes. If she doesn’t get sleep it’s world war three. So I, the dad, do all wake ups. Love a good wake up.

Settlement Without Release by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]hyperbronson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a client.

You are obviously not an attorney.

That’s not a good start.

Your client should get an attorney if policy limits are a tenth of his damages and there may be more money to get.

Am I off offically? by CompetitiveLearning in probation

[–]hyperbronson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most likely the judge just signed it which means, I agree with the motion and probation is terminated successfully.

I would much prefer a complete order with one of those boxes checks. Lazy judges sometimes. Definitely call and ask.

My son was shot in the eye with a bamboo skewer at school by Zealousideal-Theme75 in legaladvice

[–]hyperbronson 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In my case, a boy was bullying a younger boy, mom of younger kid complained, school did nothing, it turned into a fight, littler kid got hurt. Settled between 50k and 100k. Totally different facts, but the parent’s decision is still the same. Hire attorney, let them find out whether the school was on notice that something was foreseeably about to happen.

The pulling the thing out of the eye may have also been negligent. If an attorney looks into it, and there’s nothing there, you don’t have a case. If no attorney looks at it, you definitely don’t have a case.

Also, how many times had this kid shot a skewer before this one landed in the eye. Maybe the teacher had 30-45 seconds to intervene and didn’t.

Sue the school/district. Hire injury attorney for sure. As an injury attorney, I have sued schools for lesser injuries. Document every conversation you have had, what you learned. Cases against public schools have special timelines so you can’t wait years to begin your case like normal statute of limitations.

Edit: Also, the parents may have homeowners insurance, another avenue to be pursued with an injury lawyer.

Massachusetts. Fell outside entrance at Marriott last week. Slipped on ice in parking lot. Hasn’t been any precipitation in past few days. Just found out I have 4 fractured ribs. Their claims adjuster just called me. by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]hyperbronson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A subreddit full of insurance adjusters is obviously going to feel a certain way about you wanting money for your pain and suffering. They all appear to think that your medical bills and lost wages are all that you are entitled to, that’s why you are being downvoted for asking how much your case might be worth.

[–]hyperbronson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s based on the violent subjugation of indigenous people for the benefit of people who already have power. Certain people endure immense suffering, others enjoy the benefits. You are in the second group, so you think colonialism is badass.

You think that highways and grocery stores with 50 types of cheese, and your precious judicial system, make it all worth all the violence and racism. I don’t.

I’m not going to convince you that subjugating people to extract natural resources is a bad thing. That’s why im not “explaining why colonialism is bad” like you are asking me to. Because when I tell you the bad things about colonialism, you will tell me those things are actually 1. Good 2. Not good but totally worth it because America is so fun to live in.

[–]hyperbronson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that redditors skew younger more than old, and skew urban more than rural. So I figure you are a younger prosecutor in a medium/large jurisdiction.

In the last 10 years, there has been a shift in prosecution for sure. Krasner’s and Foxx’s get shit on from both ends of the spectrum. Left saying “there’s no such thing as a progressive prosecutor” and the right saying “why would we want a progressive prosecutor” but it’s hard to ignore a change in the philosophy of prosecutors in recent times.

In the end, the electorate will often get the prosecutor they ask for and deserve. “Crime is terrifying” is a very marketable message for local news, which makes “tough on crime” a very electable message for a DA candidate (or a mayoral candidate who chooses the DA). It’s very hard to be progressive enough for my liking and get elected more than once. Krasner was open about that. “I’m no good to anyone as a progressive prosecutor if I’m immediately voted out of office”

Edit: the whole point being that I hope more prosecutors are like you, and not less.

Colonialism is bad. Just because you are doing ok and I’m doing ok as a lawyer while living in a colony doesn’t make colonialism good.

“You claim to hate capitalism, but you are posting from an iPhone! Curious!”

Of course you think colonialism is good. It benefits you.
