Good Atty!

I like my attorney. He never pushed for settlement, in fact he told the store's attorney when we did depositions that my medical is not at 100%. It is now and I have permanent back injury and permanent nerve damage in my hand. Sooooo November 2nd is out court ordered Settlement Mediation.
I have no clue what to expect. Can they ask me questions? How many cases normally settle during the Mediation process.
It would be so much easier if they did have a calculator for a base to start, then depending on factors related to your case it could be adjusted.

I think so, but not about what happened, and the 'types' of questions they ask will likely be answered by your attorney... | Quote: | | How many cases normally settle during the Mediation process. |
My guess would be the majority, since it's court order, that means the judge really wants it to get handled, if it's a good professional mediator I'll bet you all settle.

Well then those 'factors' would take forever 
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

LORI: thanks. Florida has court ordered mediation and yes we have a good professional mediator. The mediation firm has excellent reviews and rusults.
I am just nerious as all getout. I just keep wondering what the outcome will be and I do pray we settle this in November. My medical is now at $83,000 with $20,000 in lost wages. My pain management doctor has said that I will need treatments for the rest of my life and the nerve damage to my hand is permanent.
My attorney is meeting with us next week to run his initial amunt for settlement will be. I just guess I am curious.
Didn't curiousty KILL the cat?

LORI, we are heading to court ordered settlement mediation on MONDAY. I al total ill just thinking about it. If we do not settle we are on trail docket for January. Call of the Calendar is Dec. 18 and we get the date at that time. My attorney says if we do not settle then he has asked for 4 days at trial.
He told me that my husband, Me and himself will be at mediation along with the store's attorney and a store representative and there will also be a person there to discuss structured settlement.
WHAT is that about?

People wondered why the “BIG EVIL“Insurance company has to investigate every case that comes across their desk. If you’re hurt, you should get enough money to pay for the doctor and get back to work!!! You should not get rich quick because you FELL DOWN! Buy a lottery ticket if you want to get money for nothing. If you put as much time into working as you have this case you would not need a hand out!

A structured annutiy, is a way of settlement (also of investment)...Where the carrier purchases say a 100k (spends 100k) on an annuity, it then pays out in installments, you can set up about anything you can imagine, as far as payment plan. In the end you end up with more money, they pay a little less. You can also purchase one yourself with the settlement. | Quote: | | How often does a slip and fall win in a trial? |
It depends TOTALLY on the facts.
