Claimants need access to that trial attorney data base too! Some lawyers claim to be trial attorneys, take your case up in court for 3 years and withdraw a few months after the judge orders the case to go to trial. Maybe that info can help claimants avoid hiring bad attorneys.
The best question to ask an attorney when you hire them is: When was the last time you tried a case like mine? Unfortunately with Covid, all lawyers will have to say it has been a while since they have tried any cases.
@@pawsy_doggu7fzI’d stay away from Matthew if I were you… This attorney and his partner colluded with the opposing attorneys… Hell, even the pressing judge and her clerks partook in committing fraud on the court. See Baysa v, JRIC and Gass, case number: 18-CA-006452….. If you want to know what happened in my case, hit me up and I’ll give you full details… Lastly, Matthew and the other attorneys involved in my case are under investigation by the Florida Bar… They might be facing criminal prosecution pretty soon. 😂
Superb information & appreciated. But unfortunately, many lawyers scam claimants and when you’re injured and going through all the stress and agony, it’s not easy to sift out the great ones, like yourself.
Hiring an attorney is important! Finding the best medical providers is also important. Insurance companies keep tabs on lawyer settlement records. So keep that in mind! This video nailed it! Great job guys
As an experienced AV rated former insurance-defense attorney, I can confirm that your videos are informative and fair (although of course a bit tilted towards convincing people to hire you), and that you are an excellent trial lawyer. I particularly enjoyed watching your low impact trial with the doctor defendant. If you ever want to do an interview on Mentour Lawyer, or want to co-counsel with me on a case in Tallahassee, please do not hesitate to reach out. James P. Waczewski
Hi James, thank you for watching the Griffin trial. I think your videos are great. Keep up the good work. I hope we have a case together in Tallahassee sometime soon. Matt
Thanks Jeff, yes, you have to be ready able and willing to find for your client in the courtroom, otherwise you don't gain any respect from the insurance industry. Keep up the good fight.
In most cases the Court will order the Plaintiff and the Defendant to attend a mediation. They do this to encourage settlement and take a case off the Court's list of active cases. And often times the parties may just agree to discuss settlement.
This is the most common problem I see every day. Sadly, lawyers run a business, and they have to get paid. And the insurance companies and the government know that many claims won't be brought because lawyers won't get paid, or the client can't pay. So, they use this to exploit the public.
@@MattlawAttorney but if an attorney doesn't take time to review the evidence how can he make a decision as to whether he can make bank on a case? Or do all attorneys shy away from cases "under color of law?
My lawyer trying to settle my case for 15k after a semi truck hit my car. It's like he doesnt want to go to trial. Told me I have to from the cost (8k) for an expert witness
This is a common tactic lawyers take. They will sign you up, but when it comes time to hire experts they don't want to spend the money, or they might not be able to afford it. So, they pressure you to take the low settlement. You may want to find a new lawyer who has the ability to try your case. Good luck.
That’s all great but what about when you are broke n you have a good case what a trail lawyer can do for me 🤔🤔🤔 I am in NY have a lawsuit against Allstate been 13 months since the accident had back surgery multiple epidural injections multiple herniated discs.. .. can’t settle waiting for the insurance company to make any offer which hasn’t happened n I have a great trial lawyer n he keeps saying nothing yet 🙄🙄🙄any suggestions 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Another suggestion is to find out about litigation finance firms, if allowed in NY. Here in Florida, when I have a client who is in a desperate situation and an insurance company that is dragging its feet, I put my client in contact with a litigation finance firm. Such firms will let you borrow money, after evaluating the case and your potential recovery, and will let you borrow some money that you can use for medical treatment or even for your basic needs. You don't have to pay anything back if you lose the case. If you win or settle, however, the interest is a bit stiff. So, say your case is worth about $50,000 to $100,000 and there is insurance available, but the insurance company is only offering $15,000 to settle, and you would maybe net $2-4k. You may be in a better position if you take a $2k loan on the case and let your attorney do what he or she can do to get the insurer to pay a fair amount. If you win, you may end up paying the finance company $3k, or $4k (depending on how long it took to settle). If you lose - you pay back nothing.
@@MattlawAttorney Looks like the pandemic is working in the insurance company's favor. They know many claimants can file a law suit, but you can't have a trial with 12 people sitting 6 ft apart.😭. This gives them more time to sit on settlement offers and insurance funds. Is mediation a good choice now?
No, the insurance companies that cover medical malpractice are quite different. For the most part these insurance companies specialize in medical malpractice coverages. They have different claims handling policies and procedures. Their relationship with their insured is also quite different. Most hospitals are self insured to some extent, which is like having a high deductible.
In some cases an out of state lawyer can enter their appearance in a case when there is a local lawyer who vouches for the out of state attorney. For example Gerry Spence and Don Keenan have tried cases all over the country even though they are only licensed in one or two states.
