Plaintiffs Personal Injury Actions: Tough Issues (2012) (Audio Only)


Old iMIS Number:
80C45


Description

Attorneys hope that their cases will proceed smoothly to verdict or settlement without detours. Unfortunately, in real world practice, this is the exception, especially in personal injury litigation. Bankruptcy of a party, death of a plaintiff or defendant, or the presence of an infant party, all add complexity to the resolution of a personal injury action. In these trying economic times, plaintiff's counsel must deal with the reality of more aggressive enforcement of liens asserted by both governmental entities, such as Social Services and Medicare, and private entities, such as health insurance companies and workers' compensation carriers.
