Read MorePresenting Your Case at Mediation
I recently learned that many plaintiff lawyers are deciding to forgo a presentation at the start of a mediation. You may know from past blogs that mediation is increasingly used as a form of alternative dispute resolution. Virtually every major case is mediated. Whether the mediation was worthwhile is the subject of another blog. Often mediation can be successful.
Commonsense View of Fault in a Fall Down Case
As you are aware by now, many of my blogs have dealt with the concept of landowner liability. Maybe that’s just a fancy way of referring to an owner of property. For example, many such personal injury cases involve a commercial establishment which has a duty to maintain its property, inside and out, in a reasonably safe manner. From my experience, I would have to say that one very helpful factor, one that has come up a lot in recent cases, is if the condition that causes the accident has been a long standing condition.
Thoughts on the Processing of a Personal Injury Case
Over the past several years the point of these blogs has been to try to educate the consuming public, to those who might have a case or those wondering about the lawsuit/litigation process. As in any profession, there can be misconceptions about what happens. In the past I’ve discussed how long a case takes. Certainly there are no hard and fast rules on that.

We know that the law often changes or, as academics are fond of saying, evolves. Yes, over the years more claims have been permitted by the highest court of Massachusetts, the Supreme Judicial Court, and the Massachusetts state legislature. Of course, sometimes the pendulum swings the other way, that is against the rights of victims.
