2787954 Charles Momodou Thomas, etc. v Commonwealth 04/29/1997 Motorcycle accidents result in a higher rate of severe injuries and deaths than collisions that involve only passenger vehicles. Sadly, motorcyclists are significantly more likely to be killed in a traffic collision than passenger-vehicle occupants, even if the motorcyclist is wearing a helmet. That depends on many factors such as the circumstances and the obviousness of the negligence, the amount of investigation needed, the number of entities being sued, the number of law firms involved, the number of health care providers involved, the number of depositions needed, the number of medical experts involved, the availability of the judge, etc. Although some cases may conclude within months (most unusual), most cases take from one to two years with some cases taking as long as three years.

On August 14, 2002, an indictment was filed charging the defendant with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree. On September 9, 2002, the defendant was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Ten days later, on March 26, 1987, Phillips and his counsel, Neighborhood Legal Services Association, moved for attorney's fees in the amount of $13,385.41 notwithstanding the fee waiver. The motion alleged that the County acted improperly by insisting that plaintiff waive any claim for counsel fees, injecting the condition after the settlement terms were largely worked out, and informing plaintiff that the County does not pay counsel fees. The County promptly responded by denying these allegations. Dennis Biondo, an Assistant Allegheny County Solicitor, filed a supporting affidavit which averred that the issue of attorney's fees was discussed simultaneously with the discussion of other issues of a monetary nature; that after the County offered $500 in counsel fees, plaintiff's counsel "abruptly broke off negotiations of this issue and agreed to a waiver of all counsel fees"; that the County was prepared to continue negotiating the counsel fee issue; and that it does not have a policy against payment of counsel fees in civil rights cases.

Conservators of the estate must file an account of the conservatorship estate one year after appointment and at least once every two years after that. The account includes a written report to the probate court explaining what the conservator of the estate has done to manage the estate, and, particularly if he or she is requesting compensation, what the conservator of the person has done to care for the conservatee. The report should also describe the conservatee's current circumstances. The report is accompanied by accounting schedules that show what the conservator has done and the current condition of the estate in dollar figures. The report also asks the judge to approve the conservator's actions in managing the estate and in caring for the conservatee and to approve any other requests the conservator makes, such as for orders approving compensation for the conservator and for his or her lawyer. For this reason, the report is sometimes called a petition, or a petition and report. If you have a lawyer, he or she will prepare the petition and report, based on information you provide. L Your lawyer may also prepare the accounting schedules, based on the records you have kept during the time period covered by the account. Sometimes the conservator of the estate will prepare the accounting schedules for attachment to the petition and report prepared by his or her lawyer. You and your lawyer should work out well ahead of time who is going to be responsible for each portion of the petition, account, and report.

You sound terribly surprised that it was well-written, John. LOL. I am kidding. You may not recall, but a long, long time ago we had a case with one another, and I know from that particular matter that you also defend doctors. I recall that our personalities were very much alike so we were doomed to zealously to over-zealously insist upon our respective positions. I wish I could have told you then what I can tell you now, which is that we accepted the matter after the client had been to three other attorneys, each of whom kept his or her file very well-organized and comfortably situated in the back of a file drawer reserved by each for "problem cases". The issue on my end was very much akin to that which we both alluded today. Again, I wanted to share the information with you very muchy, but could not as it would have been unethical, but at the conclusion of presuit, I sat down with my client and allowed her to review where we were currently situated and, at that juncture, she and I had a meeting of the minds and did not further pursue the matter. The case did not lack merit; it simply lacked sufficient damages plain and simple, which is terrible. I still don't know exactly why I agreed to spend the money which I did to demonstrate to her what the outcome would ultimately be, but I was always a betters lawyer than a businessman, anyway. LOL. I hope you are well, and hope to see you at some point in the near future.

I can't even begin to express how grateful I am that this firm took on my case. I was in a 5 car pile up with, of course, my car being the last. El Dabe took on my case without a sweat and managed to get both insurance companies to settle. This entire process took over a year and I honestly felt zero stress from it. He and his firm answered any questions I had, they were pleasant and reassuring. Bottom line is that this firm was willing and able to do their job successfully, and I was stress free. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office narrative detailing the 2007 death of Kayla Dutcher amounts to a half-inch stack of papers. Lawyers Amery Wisconsin 54001 It seemed just impossible that we had somehow been saved from death in the river. Also, it hardly seemed like an accident to me, though I knew enough not to say so. The first obvious thing was that the large truck that hit us was travelling well over 100mph, so fast that it sailed out of sight before it finally came back to the scene. I just wasn't able to compute all this, so asked right off where the driver, a young bloke of about 30, was going in such a hurry. Well, he was taking this lady with him, a woman of about 50, his mother he said, to work. To work? This was very remote territory, the nearest settlement of about 2,000 would be about 60 miles away (wild guess), others aren't large enough to show on a map's index with other towns of 100 or so, so I guessed this was likely a 50 mile trip at least. It could be less, if you had to work without shelter in the blistering sun, but that was hard to imagine. One thing you can always be sure of, no one, absolutely no one, within 200 miles in that country would be likely to be in that kind of hurry, not enough to justify 100+mph in the mass equivalent of an empty personnel carrier, nor could the car that Alan says he was about to pass have failed to notice the collision that occurred.

The Bakersfield legal malpractice lawyers at Chain Cohn Stiles have the knowledge and expertise necessary to handle legal malpractice lawsuits. If you believe that you are the victim of legal malpractice, contact our law firm immediately. community of legal professionals, information and insights Most medical malpractice suits are pursued on a theory of negligence or recklessness. All medical providers must act in a certain way when treating medical conditions; this is called the standard of care. Negligence occurs when a medical provider fails to act in accord with the accepted standard of care for that particular situation. If a provider fails to act in this way, they can be liable for any resulting harm. These standards of care vary widely based on the type of situation and location, and can sometimes be difficult to ascertain. A seasoned medical malpractice attorney will use a wide array of resources to determine what the standard of care was and if it was breached. Medical providers can also be held liable for medical malpractice if they were reckless. Recklessness occurs when a medical provider acts in a way that they knew, or should have known, was likely to cause injury. This entire ordeal could have been avoided with better notes and X-rays.
