OUR TEAM Chief Executive Officer: Phillip Greer
ABOUT US
For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

Crash Course
A BAD CAR ACCIDENT LEFT ME REELING, BUT MY WORST SYMPTOMS WOULDN’T APPEAR UNTIL TWO WEEKS AFTER. IF IT WEREN’T FOR EXCELLENT LEGAL REPRESENTATION, THERE’S NO WAY I’D HAVE MADE IT THROUGH—OR WITH ANYTHING CLOSE TO THE SETTLEMENT I GOT.
BOURNE BRIDGE/CREATIVE COMMONS
BY PAIGE CERULLI
A
T FIVE O’CLOCK, one morning during my junior year of college, I left my home on Cape Cod to drive to campus. It was commencement day, and as a member of the school’s wind symphony, I would be playing my flute during the ceremony. Twenty minutes into the drive, which I had done countless times, I’d cross the Bourne Bridge linking the Cape with mainland Massachusetts, get on the highway and head to school. There was a steady rain that morning, so I left a little early, planning to pick up a friend in Bourne along the way. As I made my way up the bridge, though, I spotted a car in trouble in the oncoming lanes.

The Bourne Bridge consists of four lanes, two in each direction, with no dividing barrier. A car in the leftmost lane swerved at the bridge’s peak, skidded across all four lanes, hit the bridge side in my lane and swerved

again, approaching me head-on. I was astounded at how fast the car was going and assumed the driver was having a heart attack. I slowed my truck and began to swerve, trying to avoid a collision. It wasn’t possible. The car careened into my truck, whose right front corner took the brunt of the impact. The hit was so forceful that my truck turned 180 degrees and traveled across three lanes, coming to rest facing the direction I’d just come from. Thankfully, there wasn’t much traffic on the bridge at that hour, and the other drivers were able to avoid us. I appeared to have come through the accident with minimal injuries. I was limping badly when I got out of the truck, and while my arms and legs were scraped and I later developed significant bruises and a black eye, nothing serious was immediately apparent. My truck’s floor had been torn open, the right front tire had come off, the bed had been shoved into the cab—and I was grateful I hadn’t yet picked up my friend, who would certainly have been injured or even killed. Amazingly, the driver of the other car was a girl I’d known in high school. She and two friends were returning from a party in Rhode Island. One of her friends was seriously injured, going in and out of consciousness; paramedics summoned a medevac flight to take her to Boston. Since all three women in the car had serious injuries, I was left to sit in a police vehicle while the scene was cleared and the bridge reopened. A paramedic handed me a form to sign, my father came to pick me up and I went back home. Two weeks later, I went to the movies with a friend. The

day after, I had no recollection of having done so. My friend’s mother, a nurse, insisted I go to the emergency room, where doctors discovered I had suffered a traumatic brain injury. And so it began. I was soon experiencing debilitating fatigue, sound and light sensitivity, migraines, shortterm memory loss and weakness. My vision didn’t align with my footfalls, leaving me feeling disjunct and unbalanced. I had difficulty recognizing people I didn’t already know well, and I was so, so tired. My family realized I needed a lawyer. The other driver’s insurance company was already calling repeatedly, trying to settle, but we were only just beginning to understand the accident’s long-term implications. My mother found a personal injury lawyer willing to work on contingency, and he helped us navigate this chaotic period. One of the biggest challenges we faced was getting a neurological assessment. Most providers were unwilling to see me after learning that the assessment was needed because of an accident, possibly because of insurance billing complications or fears of their required involvement if the case moved into a lawsuit. My lawyer offered additional guidance and helped my mother find a physician willing to assess me. The results confirmed that I had significant memory challenges that would affect my return to college in the fall. What we didn’t realize then was that the fatigue, migraines and general sense of fuzziness, which doctors had assured me would go away, wouldn’t. The symptoms persisted, and nearly a decade later I’d be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a diagnosis that altered my career
as well as my lifestyle. Although there is still plenty of uncertainty as to why people develop fibromyalgia, it often occurs after a serious trauma like my accident. There is no cure; the condition can only be managed (somewhat poorly in my case) through medication and lifestyle changes. While in the early days we weren’t aware of this longterm complication, my lawyer worked to ensure that I received compensation for my injuries and the loss of my truck. We quickly received a payment for well over my truck’s value, meaning I could buy another vehicle. I even managed to work part-time that summer to save for my upcoming senior year. Crucially, my lawyer fielded all calls and requests from the insurance company. My mother had been trying to handle them largely herself, so she appreciated having that burden lifted. We had the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone was working for our side and that we wouldn’t be taken advantage of because we were unfamiliar with personal injury law. Ultimately, we reached a settlement with the driver’s insurance company. It paid for all my medical bills and a portion of my education. Had I not had a good lawyer, I’m sure I would have settled for much less. Based on the insurance company’s correspondence, I suspect I would have been left with unpaid medical bills or might not have been able to seek the treatments, such as speech therapy, that helped me partially recover. My lawyer was a constant reassurance, and the key to my success at navigating that challenging, confusing time. I’m so glad I had him on my side.●

When Neglect Turns Fatal
MANY FACTORS MAKE LITIGATING CLAIMS OF NURSING HOME ABUSE AND NEGLECT CHALLENGING, INCLUDING PATIENTS WHO ARE IMMOBILE OR SUFFER FROM DEMENTIA AND LIMITS ON DAMAGE AWARDS. RECENT CASE RESULTS AND PROPOSALS TO CONGRESS AIM TO INSPIRE LASTING CHANGE.
ISTOCK/TOMML
BY JUSTIN SMULISON
T
HE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MEDICINE reports that nearly 1.5 million older Americans live in nursing homes, and another 1 million in assisted-living facilities. Nursing homes provide valuable services and comfort to those who can no longer fully care for themselves. Yet they also have inherent risks of malpractice and negligence—throughout the broader system and within individual facilities—that can lead to patient injuries
and fatalities. The deadly consequences of inadequate staffing were made abundantly clear during the COVID-19 pandemic. While more than 150,000 nursing home residents and staff have died from COVID-19, many others suffered from isolation in their facilities. The Associated Press estimated that from March 2020 to November 2020 nearly 40,000 excess deaths of nursing home residents were attributed to non-COVID-19 related causes, when compared to the same time period in 2019. Neglect was one of the most prominently cited causes. www.bestlawyers.com | 2 1
“In February 2022, the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates approved a resolution that aims to improve transparency and accountability in the ownership and management of nursing homes.”
more inches than allowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and an 84-year-old man with advanced dementia became entangled to the point of fatal strangulation. The victim’s daughter was referred to Lubin & Meyer, P.C. partners Andrew C. Meyer Jr. and Robert M. Higgins. “The facility had already violated numerous regulations regarding [its] use of bed rails,” says Higgins, who was named a Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in 2015 in Boston for Medical Malpractice–Plaintiffs. “They were warned about the existing danger and simply did nothing to address the issue. They put people into beds with ill-fitting side rails, creating a very dangerous situation for the patients.” The chance that the plaintiff would have slept in a hazardous bed was a near-certainty, as state officials found that 173 of the 176 beds in the facility had improper rails. Higgins secured $2 million through a prelitigation mediation on behalf of the plaintiff. He says his client was grateful for the result but was more concerned about saving others from a similar fate. “This is not a case you see every week, but poor health care for the elderly, unfortunately, happens more than it should. Our elderly population is extremely vulnerable,” Higgins adds. “It is critical that we expose and correct problems in the care they receive, making conditions safer and more reliable for the next family that puts a loved one into a nursing home.”
Instances of abuse, neglect and maltreatment are likely underreported given the many challenges of elder care, including patients who are immobile or suffer from dementia and staff who are overworked and possibly underqualified. Lawyers who represent plaintiffs and their families possess unique insight into this risk. They can demonstrate instances of neglect or malpractice to judges and juries, and outside the courtroom they can advocate for stronger state and federal guidelines to better protect these vulnerable people.
Hazards Keep Patients from Resting Easy
Alleged negligence led to a 2020 settlement that made headlines when improper bed rails in a western Massachusetts nursing home led to a resident’s death. The space between the rails and the mattress was four

INJURY & MALPRACTICE
Those faulty bed rails may have been a symptom of a larger problem in geriatric health care: inaction by staff, who often are vastly outnumbered by their patients. This has an undeniable effect on the quality of care provided. The federal government established regulations for long-term-care facilities with the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987, which sets national quality standards for such facilities. This influenced the guidance set forth by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which requires facilities to have sufficient numbers of resident nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants around the clock—including a charge nurse on each shift—to provide care to all residents. Additionally, they must have an RN on duty for at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, and a designated RN to serve as full-time director of nursing. Federal regulations further specify that each facility must provide nursing services to meet the needs of its residents, and that staff possess and demonstrate the necessary competencies and skills. A 2020 market report from LeadingAge.org noted “…staff turnover rate

is high due to low wages and lack of training,” thus increasing the potential for negligent acts. Further, one staff member’s failure or inability to act can trigger a tragic ripple effect. Regan Zambri Long president and senior partner Patrick M. Regan has litigated countless elder and nursing home abuse cases over his decades in practice. He says clients typically come to him by way of relatives who have noticed a decline in health or appearance that leads them to suspect substandard care. “[Patients] start to deteriorate not because of illness or disease but because of neglect,” says Regan, who was named a Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” in Washington, D.C., for Medical Malpractice–Plaintiffs in 2014 and 2020 and for Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions–Plaintiffs in 2022. “The most frequent cases stem from what initially seem to be relatively minor bed and pressure sores. That’s solely a result of not turning the patients properly and not repositioning them. It embeds itself more in the tissue, and that in turn leads to infection. And then it starts a vicious cycle, where what began as a minor condition has become life-threatening.” (He says he has litigated many claims stemming from bed sores, and that fatalities have been reported between 90 and 120 days from the initial infection.) In a March 2022 report, the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care found that inadequate staffing during the pandemic correlated with a 31% rise in reports of bed sores among patients from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2021. Another factor contributing to nursing home abuse claims is that U.S. life expectancy continues to rise. In 1960, it was nearly 70 years. In 2020, average life expectancy at birth for the entire U.S. population was 77.3 years, according to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The Center’s Vital Statistics report noted that the national average reached 78.8 years in 2019, but attributed the drop in 2020 to COVID-19 mortality. “You can replace a hip, a knee or even the heart,” says Regan, who also serves on the Best Lawyers editorial advisory board. “We have bodies that last longer, but minds that might not be as healthy. So there are more patients with dementia being admitted to nursing homes. This, unfortunately, leads to more injuries.”
While verdicts and settlements undoubtedly get the attention of nursing homes and their insurers, lawyers are attempting to get the federal government’s attention in order to make a broader industry impact. In February 2022, the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates approved a resolution that aims to improve transparency and accountability in the ownership and management of nursing homes. The ABA Journal reported that Resolution 601, which was approved by the association, urges Congress and CMS to create a national system that audits nursing home ownership reports. This would ensure the disclosure of all owners including parent, management and property companies. The ABA’s resolution cited a Kaiser Family Foundation study that found that 69% of nursing homes were owned by for-profit companies in 2016, and more than half were owned or leased by corporate chains with two or more facilities. “These increasingly complex structures, with their disassembly of nursing home ownership and operations, have been shown to have a negative effect on a broad array of quality measures,” Louraine Arkfeld, a Senior Lawyers Division representative to the ABA House of Delegates, told the ABA Journal. In the courtroom, plaintiffs in many states face the challenge of caps on damages that victims can recover. California, for example, limits noneconomic damages such as emotional distress to $250,000. Settlement awards for the elderly typically contrast immensely with that of a claim filed on behalf of a child born with an injury. Regan says damage caps sometimes deter would-be claimants, but those who proceed often do so because of a moral calling. “In many of these cases, depending on the jurisdiction, the cost of prosecuting a case for negligence or malpractice in the nursing facility can make the case economically unviable because the recovery is limited by the state law,” he says. “So these are people who aren’t earning wages and they’re typically not supporting family members. Their claims are essentially limited to pain and suffering, which is subject to the damage caps. I often explain this to family members who say, ‘I appreciate knowing that going in, but I don’t want this to happen to somebody else’s mother or father or somebody else’s husband or wife.’” ●

S I ANXIOUSLY headed to law school one overcast morning to turn in my first legal writing assignment, a bus sped through a red light and crashed into the side of my little silver sedan, pinwheeling us around the intersection and crumpling the driver’s side of the car. Thankfully, we were mostly uninjured. In the following months, I experienced the stress and confusion of being a personal injury client—an experience that almost made me want to quit school.

It’s said that all doctors ought to have been patients once; it would improve their bedside manner. The same could be said of lawyers. Things that become second nature to us as practitioners come as a shock and frustration to clients. Different expectations regarding the likely outcome of a case, the case’s timeline and how often they’ll hear from their attorney, for example, are sources of client complaints. I often hear lawyers say clients just don’t get it. Clients “not getting it,” though, is exactly why they need a lawyer—and why lawyers have a job in the first place. Fortunately, these points

INJURY & MALPRACTICE
of contention can be avoided through clear client communication, and lawyers have many practical approaches and tools at their disposal. A good initial meeting is essential. It might feel a little like teaching a seminar on the legal system and the law but being willing to educate a client now can save you miscommunication, frustration and complaints later. Although many personal injur y clients want to know immediately if they have a viable case and how much money they can expect, it’s not possible to give realistic estimates off the bat. This can be difficult for a client to understand. To manage expectations, AJ Holloway, who practices personal injury near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, says he and fellow lawyers at the Derrick Law Firm keep a list of items they’ll need to research to show clients how solid their case is and what damages they can claim. Later, if a client has unrealistic expectations, he’ll often show him or her a PowerPoint highlighting key areas of the case—and remind the client, via basketball metaphor, that “this is not a free throw; there’s a whole defense in the way.” He’ll then show what form that defense is likely to take. Derrick Law will also sometimes convene focus groups of 12, mimicking an actual jury, to take some pressure off the lawyers’ opinions. What would these dozen people award the client? Abby Green, a successful litigation attorney at Grossman Green in Louisville, Kentucky, says such honesty and transparency can build client trust and even earn referrals from clients she doesn’t take. When she has to turn down a case, for instance, Green will validate the client’s misfortune—noting that while the situation is unfair, there are specific facts in the case file and aspects of the relevant law that make the case difficult to prove and possibly not worth the inevitable time and turmoil. Regarding the timeline, most attorneys expect a

case to take much longer than a client does, and they know most will settle and never go to trial. According to the Duke Law School publication Judicature in 2017, “the rate of disposition by trial in civil cases had fallen to less than 2%.” It’s beneficial for a lawyer to explain not just that the timeline always depends, but to clarify what it depends on: the reasonableness of the other side, how quickly the case can get on a trial docket and when the clients themselves decide the case is over. Allison Mabbs, a former prosecutor who works for the defense at MGC Law in Greenville, South Carolina, says she tries to prepare clients for a long wait for trial or conclusion and takes time to outline all steps, letting them know she’ll contact them at each calendar milestone to keep them updated. Establishing realistic expectations about communication from the outset is of enormous importance, too. During my case, I remember going long stretches without hearing a thing, and feeling forgotten. Many clients worry that their lawyer doesn’t recall details of their case, has lost interest or, worse, forgotten about them and is therefore likely to miss important deadlines. Bear in mind that in general, people do not want

to hire a lawyer but are doing so because of a major life problem. This is not your only case, but it is theirs—one surely causing stress and putting a hold on other plans. Knowing when to expect news and hearing from their lawyer regularly can dispel much of clients’ anxiety. Software such as ProCase, SmartAdvocate and MessageMedia enable you to schedule regular check-ins with clients and send them text messages—quick notes to say what you worked on that week or what you’re waiting for will go a long way. Amanda Pittman of South Carolina’s McGowan, Hood, Felder and Phillips—she was listed in Best Lawyers: One to Watch in America in 2022 for plaintiffs’ personal injury—is an experienced advocate but did not come from a line of attorneys, which gives her a great advantage. Imagining exactly what her family would expect from a case, and which terms they’d recognize and understand when speaking to their attorney, helps her communicate better and manage expectations. Although she makes clear how much the client will likely communicate with other members of the firm, such as the paralegal, “the attorney signs the fee agreement, and if they want
to speak with me, I feel like that’s my job.” Regular communication with clients is Rule 1.4 in the American Bar Association’s “Model Rules of Professional Conduct.” “When so many grievances are filed over not responding to clients,” Pittman says, “why even take that risk?” Green likewise says most clients “just want to feel heard.” If after your initial meeting you feel like your client constantly needs to vent, though, you could offer them the advice Holloway does to some of his: “Try to live your life as if you do not have litigation.” This prepares clients for being able to handle both their emotions and expenses. (You might also want to network with a good therapist to recommend to clients as someone who can listen to them without taking time away from working on their case.) In general, it may be wise to follow an old business adage popularized by Tom Peters, the management guru: “underpromise and overdeliver.” To get personal injury clients in the door and their signature on a representation agreement, overpromising can be tempting. In many jurisdictions, lawyers are permitted to feature client settlements in ads but not to claim that they can achieve the same for any
new client. Regardless, in these initial meetings, expectations are generally high, language positive and attitude confident. What’s more, some lawyers don’t sufficiently explain their commission or clarif y that it’s tallied after expenses. Many clients therefore feel that the longer their case goes on, the less enthusiastic the representation—and some end up shocked by the difference in what their lawyer talked about at the outset and what they urge the client to accept during settlement talks. As a first-time client and law student, I certainly felt as though what was said in the first meeting in no way resembled later communication or the ultimate result. Lawyers in search of positive reviews and referrals would do well to remember Peters’s advice. In the end, clients and lawyers can have vastly different expectations regarding the duration of the case, the frequency of communication and the outcome. If the lawyer is honest and upfront about this in the initial meeting, stays in touch and validates a client ’s feelings, potential disagreements and other friction can be minimized, thereby saving the adversarial relationship for the courtroom—not the client. ●

Helpful Hints & Avoidable Mistakes
I’VE PICKED UP A LOT IN THE COURTROOM IN FIVE DECADES OF PRACTICE. HERE ARE SOME STRATEGIES, TIPS AND OTHER POINTERS TO HELP MAKE YOUR TRIAL EXPERIENCE SMOOTHER—AND SUCCESSFUL.
BY FRANK BRANSON The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson, P.C.

CROSS MORE THAN five decades of practice, I’ve learned some helpful trial tips and strategies, many of them firsthand in the courtroom, that have proven important at one time or another. What follows is by no means an exhaustive list but rather a collection of simple suggestions you can put to work immediately.
Preparation, Preparation, Preparation
BOURNE BRIDGE/TAKASUU
It’s the key to being successful at trial. Intensive prep—working full days and weekends—must start well in advance of the trial, far enough out that you’ll be certain to be ready. The time you need to properly prepare a case for trial obviously depends on the size and nature of the case—the number of witnesses, the complexity of the subject matter, the anticipated legal issues at hand and plenty more—but it’s always better to start early than to leave it for the last minute. Unexpected things will always come up on the eve of trial that will eat into the amount of time you thought you had. Get ahead of the curve by starting early. If you’re preparing to retry a case, keep in mind that you don’t remember it as well as you think you do. Often, months or years have passed since the original trial. You’ve forgotten more than you realize. My tip: Start your prep work early and plan to attack it every bit as thoroughly as you did the first time.

“Be sure you really need that objection before you make it.”
your client must be aware of the motions in limine so there’s no wrangling in front of the jury about inappropriate testimony. Screen your plaintiffs. Don’t take on a client you do not believe and don’t like, even if it’s the judge’s nephew. Jurors can sense when you’re not onboard with your client, and it never serves them or you well. Do not gild the lily. The facts and damages in your case are what they are. Use them to put the case’s best foot forward without overstating it. A lot of drama over a small injury generally doesn’t work; your approach needs to be commensurate with the specific injuries. Finally, a lesson learned the hard way: When making your jury argument, I recommend always fully opening. If not, defense counsel may elect not to argue, in which case the judge has the option to deny your closing argument, at least in Texas.
How the Jury Sees You, Your Client, the Witnesses and Your Case
The jury needs to like and respect both you and your client. Constantly fussing with the judge will usually hurt your case. Even if you’re winning objections, the jury might not understand and may not like it. Be sure you really need that objection before you make it. Make sure as well that your client and witnesses cannot be impeached on veracity. I do not remember ever seeing a lawyer win a trial in which his or her witnesses were perceived as untruthful. In addition, all your witnesses and

The key to effective voir dire is to get the jury panel talking. For them to talk, they must like you and trust you enough to share. If you begin a voir dire by telling the panel you’re trying to get a “fair jury” and then work hard to disqualify a potential defendant juror, the rest of the panel will see that, and your voir dire might not go as well as you had hoped. It can be better to tell the jur y that it ’s necessary to ask questions to see if they possess any relevant biases and explaining that we all have biases. For example, my grandmother always fed me castor oil; therefore, I’m biased against castor oil. Be careful of stereotyping panel members. In his day, Clarence Darrow was fond of saying, “For a lawyer whose client is in the dock, it would be malpractice for that lawyer to strike an Irishman.” As great a lawyer as he was, I think the process of jury selection has improved considerably since Mr. Darrow’s day.
Handling Witnesses

at least to tape all depositions of experts, in particular those of physicians and engineers. You never know when an expert will try to change his or her opinion—or get hit by the proverbial bus. Neither is welcome from the lawyer’s standpoint. A taped deposition gives you options. Some mistakes to avoid: Don’ t get too aggressive with live witnesses from the get-go; start out pleasantly with all of them. Give the jurors a chance to get to know the witness. Let the witness throw rocks first. Try not to start a cross-examination angry either, even if the witness was an ass at the deposition. If a witness was aggressive at the deposition, it helps to use part of his or her video deposition when questioning other witnesses before the aggressive witness takes the stand. This will give you more leeway with the jury in dealing with the potentially problematic witness. Before impeaching an adverse expert, consider first whether you need to do so. Impeachment is not the only useful and productive purpose of cross-examination. A well-planned and executed cross-examination can potentially accomplish far more than simply discrediting the testimony of the defendant’s expert—and the defense. Occasionally you can get the exper t to modify or reverse his or her opinions wholesale. Artful, precise questioning can often extract concessions and favorable collateral opinions from the opponent ’s exper t. You may also establish that, given the particular facts and circumstances of your case, the expert’s opinions aren’t harmful. In this instance, there’s no need to impeach a witness who has been rendered, at most, irrelevant. You can save the thunder for another occasion, and the court and jury will appreciate your giving back the time.
Courtroom Tips
Be sure your clients and witnesses are dressed appropriately for the occasion. This doesn’t
necessarily mean they must wear a suit and tie, but it does mean that very casual attire and loud jewelry should be left at home. Make sure you take the time to lay the proper predicate for your demonstrative aids and there are no other admissibility problems. Nothing derails an otherwise effective witness examination like having to duke it out with opposing counsel in front of the jury over the use of demonstrative aids or admissibility of other evidence. Have audiovisual technical support professionals visit the courtroom pretrial to ensure that everything you need works properly and to check for practical concerns like making sure the demonstrative aid fits behind the rail of the courtroom. Be yourself in the courtroom. Juries don’t like split personalities from either law yers or witnesses. When dealing with your firm’s employees in the courtroom and around the courthouse, treat them with the same kindness as you would if they were jurors. Should a juror walk by you in the hall while you chew out an employee, the jury will sour quickly. Juror comfort goes a long way. Use the time you need for argument or witness examinations, but consider the jury’s feelings in terms of the length of those aspects of the trial. Jurors who need a break are, at minimum, not fully listening to your case; at worst, they’re mad at you about it. If the court asks how much longer you need with a witness, give a time you can meet and do not exceed it. If the court will allow, agree with the other side to provide the jury with sodas and water. It keeps jurors alert and happier. Splitting the cost of their lunches with your opponent helps, too.
Conclusion
Preparation and critical thinking can help you avoid many land mines during a trial. Be yourself, believe in your case and your client, and the jury should come along with you. ●

ISTOCK/ JUNIORBEEP
BY ARIA GMITTER
RECENT RELOCATION, a spirit of self-love and no social life had lulled me to a magical land called Comfort, where people’s every quirk is accepted, including body hair in public and private parts that the sunlight never sees. Therefore, like many women who humblebrag about their shave-free month during “Januhairy” or their winter fuzz that grows like moss down the legs and tucked into the dark pits of shapely arms, I didn’t think twice about the mess I wasn’t tending to. Until one fine summer day, that is, when I realized I had a serious problem: I was wearing a sundress, hours away from a planned date, nowhere near the vicinity of my usual waxing studio and in possession

of a dark mass everyone could see whenever I lifted my arms. I’m Latina and an animated speaker, so I was left with two choices: shave, or find someone nearby who could wax me. The cardinal rule for women who commit to waxing is never to shave again. Ever. It took more than 20 years for my body hair to become fine and soft, and a single desperate swoop of a razor could reverse all those gains, transforming my plush fur into the kind of Brillo pad that left my usual Miami waxer exhausted after our one-hour sessions and swearing she’d never take me again. I had spent nearly $3,000 a year on waxing

(not including tips) ove r the previous decade. No, I would not shave. I’d find someone who could take me within the hour. Like a modern warrior woman, arms tucked close to my sides, I posted my cr y for depilatory freedom to a Facebook moms’ group, asking for referrals. Within seconds a bevy of women replied, and one waxer’s name cropped up more than others. A quick Google search returned an average 3.2star review. That’s low, I thought, but so what? One waxer is as good as any, right? I called. A sweet, soft-spoken voice told me she could, indeed, see me within the hour. She texted me her address, just a few miles away. Everything was going according to plan. Soon I’d be Kojak-perfect from my pits to my bottom. My GPS guided me like a guardian angel to the waxy destination. My dreams would come true, one strip of muslin at a time. Fifteen minutes later, I cascaded gleefully down a short hallway to a well-lit room cluttered with beauty products and scented mayhem. I was greeted by a waxing table with the customary white sheet of paper down the middle, from which I’d soon butterfly away from this prison of hair covering my dark skin. I will say that 20/20 hindsight and humility remind me that I have only myself to blame. I quickly saw a warning sign but, in my desperation, chose to ignore the cool blobs of green wax on a dingy popsicle stick in a dusty wax heater. The crack in the center of the stick—evidence of potential unsanitary sloppiness—was a dead giveaway that something might not be right. I began to second-guess myself. Surely she was a trusted professional given how many women had recommended her. So, when she left me with directions to undress, I complied. When she returned, asking me to spread and lift my arms, I did so. From the side of an eye, I watched

After a quick rip with underheated wax, I shyly asked her—trying not to sound insulting—if her tactics were industry best practices. All I knew was from prior experience with big salons and estheticians who always threw the stick away and got a new one between each application. “All fine, dear,” she coyly replied. I tried to trust that others liked her for a reason. I wanted to make it to my final destination on time, and I was already on the table now. So, I closed my eyes and prayed throughout my session, the longest 20 minutes of my life, and headed out vowing henceforth to avenge my follicular genetics via permanent laser hair removal.

I didn’t call the local health department because my regular waxer dissuaded me, which in turn made me rethink pushing my claim any further. Lesson learned, and I laugh now, but it’s important to note that checking online reviews is not enough, and similar to the salon I’d visited, not all salons require a signed waiver prior to services. Complaints and lawsuits involving tears, infections and burns because of a wax are common. But Bridgette Elliott, a licensed esthetician and owner of the SO Skincare salon in Palm Beach, Florida, urges clients to pay attention to cleanliness. “Communicable diseases or infections can cross-contaminate from one person to another,” she says. “You also want to make sure nonreusable items are replaced, such as wax strips, cotton or gloves. In my opinion, unless the customer is permanently damaged, [she] may want to reconsider a lawsuit and file a claim with the salon’s liability insurance instead.” It’s important for clients who have been harmed
during a procedure to understand their options; in these situations, sometimes not filing a lawsuit is ideal. The process of filing an insurance claim with the salon directly is often an easier alternative than taking legal recourse. The recompense for a client is typically the same, and the success rate may be higher. In fact, most estheticians carry Liability Insurance up to a million dollars per occurrence, and similar to an auto accident, stating that an incident occurred and who is at fault must be evaluated to begin the process. A lawsuit and proof of damage may take longer, and the client may not win his or her case (especially when waivers are involved). Even though a client does not have to have legal representation to file an insurance claim against a salon, it can be beneficial to talk with a knowledgeable lawyer who can help navigate the process. A licensed attorney will do the initial demand letter on behalf of the client, along with handling all matters that most clients are unfamiliar with, reducing stress and ensuring a final resolution is met. Isiah Jorgenson, a Florida-licensed cosmetologist, says that “it’s in the best interest of a client to go to salons that require a waiver form, because it protects the client and the salon. Medications or health conditions can cause an adverse reaction during some services. So, it’s important for the
client to inform the salon so the professional can safely perform the service—or decline if needed.” In 2007, for example, a Brazilian wax treatment performed at Moriah Brandon’s in Altamonte Springs, Florida, left Jean Rochelle “Chelle” Simmons in need of medical treatment from her gynecologist. She had to undergo a surgical procedure to treat severe tears and lacerations caused by a waxing session. Simmons sued and was awarded $400,000, though the defense attorney argued that her injuries might not have been caused by the salon. Because of the severity of her situation, her attorney was able to help her with a favorable outcome. But injuries, no matter the severity, caused by improper training of staff and unsanitary equipment, are still painful and scary. Knowing the options, rather through legal recourse or filing a claim, can help victims move forward after a traumatizing experience. The argued defense in Simmons’ case raises an important point: These types of injuries can be difficult to prove, so it’s crucial to find an attorney who specializes in personal injury and chemical burn cases in particular. The alternative is suffering in silence and enabling subpar providers of an extremely sensitive service to continue wreaking occasional havoc on innocent people. Even the smoothest skin on earth isn’t worth that. ●

Claims on a Canine
WHICH FACTORS WILL MOST INFLUENCE THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IN A CASE INVOLVING A DOG ATTACK? HERE’S AN OVERVIEW.
BY LAWRENCE BUCKFIRE
ISTOCK/ CYNOCLUB
Buckfire Law
T
HE INCIDENCE OF dog attacks in the United States rises every year. Each day, 1,000 Americans require emergency care for serious injuries from dog bites; annually about 14,000 people are hospitalized as a result of them. With these injuries, naturally, come claims for compensation by the victims against dog owners. Every state has its own laws that cover suing a dog owner after an attack. Some impose strict liability on the owner, while others rely on common-law negligence theories. Some prohibit claims made by property trespassers; others limit compensation if the evidence shows the dog was provoked into the attack.

Assuming a legal basis exists for filing a personal injury claim, the primary issue is usually the value of the claim. An experienced lawyer

can evaluate the particulars and determine a fair settlement range. Numerous factors will affect this, of course. Some of the principal ones: The severity of the injury or disfigurement. Dog attacks can cause broken bones, nerve damage and other serious physical harm. Someone knocked over by a dog might well suffer major orthopedic injuries that require surgery. The size and location of any scars or disfigurement. Bites on the face and arms generally lead to higher compensation, as they’re more conspicuous, especially on women and children. Some scars never fully heal, becoming permanent disf igurements that cannot be repaired even via plastic surgery. Mental anguish and psychological trauma from the attack. This can include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many victims must begin seeing a counselor or therapist due to a new fear of dogs, from regularly reliving the attack or from a pervasive sense of anxiety and humiliation. The type of medical treatment received for the injuries and future treatment that will be needed. If a victim required plastic surgery or will need it in the future, this will likely increase the settlement amount. In addition, many victims must undergo a series of rabies shots, which is

quite painful, in addition to scar revisions. The amount of hospital costs, medical bills and other expenses related to the attack. If plastic surgery or scar revision will be needed down the road, a cost projection by a boardcertified plastic surgeon is strong evidence to support these damage claims. The amount of wages lost because of necessary work absence. Many victims—postal workers and food deliver y personnel, for example—are attacked while doing their job and will receive workers’ compensation for time lost. In such cases, the workers’ comp insurer will demand repayment of these wages, but they can be claimed in the case against the dog owner. The effects that the injuries from the attack have had on the victim’s life. An inability to engage in many common activities and pleasures as before the attack, for instance: going for a

walk or jog through the neighborhood, say, or even riding a bike on public streets or in a park. The amount of the insurance policy limits available from a dog owner’s insurance policy. These are usually a business or homeowner’s insurance policy, and their limits vary greatly. They are a major factor in determining the amount of the settlement. In addition to the eight factors above, the circumstances of the bite are important when determining compensation. For example, if the dog owner alleges that a child pulled the dog’s tail and thereby provoked the attack, it could (assuming it’s supported by evidence) reduce the award. Likewise, a person who was attempting to break up a fight between two dogs might get less compensation, depending on the particulars. Where an attack happened can also be
a crucial factor. Some counties, especially rural ones, are home to more conser vative populations, and such juries’ settlement amounts will often be lower than in bigger, more urban areas. Surveying settlements and jury verdicts in a variety of specific cities and counties can be helpful. To m a x i m i ze a s et t l e m e nt a m o u nt , a n experienced at torney will of ten have the victim evaluated by a plastic surgeon, who will p e r son ally examine the vic tim , take measurements and photographs and recommend a plan for scar revision. For younger children, surgery might not be an option until they reach adolescence. If so, a young victim will be forced to live with scars or other disfigurement for years—and will likely be selfconscious about his or her appearance as well as subject to bullying and teasing by classmates.
This can take a significant psychological and emotional toll on a young child. In addition, a lawyer may have the client evaluated by a psychologist or other mentalhealth specialist. A victim might withhold feelings and emotions from family members and friends, for example, yet be more open with a professional—who can then write a report detailing the impact of the attack on the victim, the need for counseling and the psychological prognosis. Ultimately, it’s often the skill and experience of a dog-bite lawyer that determines the settlement amount. Attorneys with a strong track record of successful settlements know how best to negotiate these claims with insurance adjusters to maximize it. Should a case require litigation, of course, the victim will want an attorney with strong experience in the courtroom. ●

Mind Matters: The Importance of Diagnosing TBIs in PI Cases
MANY LAWYERS FAIL TO IDENTIFY AND DIAGNOSE TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES (TBIS) IN PERSONAL INJURY DISPUTES. BUT IT CAN BE CRITICAL TO YOUR CASE—AND RENDER ANY POTENTIAL SETTLEMENT OR AWARD FAR MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR YOUR CLIENT.
BY BOBBY SAADIAN Wilshire Law Firm
I
T’S A surprisingly common lapse: Many personal injury attorneys fail to look for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in the cases they take—or hesitate to take on disputes that involve them in the first place. Diagnosing and proving a brain injury, especially a mild TBI (MTBI), can be a challenge. That makes such cases high-risk, high-reward endeavors, which many lawyers find daunting. They shouldn’t be so quick to shy away from them, though. Identifying a TBI can increase the value of a case significantly, even if it makes negotiating a settlement or winning a trial more difficult. My firm’s recent experience with one client might be instructive: Discovering a TBI enabled us to settle for more than three times the original offer. Here’s what you should know about identifying TBIs in personal injury cases.
ISTOCK/DEVRIMB
MBTIs in Motor Vehicle Accidents
A client was T-boned at around 35 miles per hour, injuring her and causing her car’s airbags to deploy. A family member took her to the emergency room for evaluation, where a trauma doctor performed a manual exam and concluded that our client had suffered a whiplash injury. They prescribed pain medication and anti-inflammatories, then sent her home with instructions to follow up if she experienced pain for more than two weeks. Despite following the physician’s recommendations, our client developed severe headaches, light and sound sensitivity, ringing in the ears, lightheadedness and neck pain only 48 hours or so later. Five days after the accident, she retained Wilshire Law Firm. The insurance adjuster initially offered our client $20,000 on a 100/300 policy (meaning the policy covered up to $100,000 of bodily injury treatment costs per injured person in an accident, and up to $300,000 of bodily injury liability costs per accident). After a full neurological evaluation and treatment, she was diagnosed with an MTBI and settled for $75,000. Results like this are far from unusual. Identifying and pursuing TBIs and MTBIs in similar cases enables us to greatly increase the value of personal injury disputes and help our clients get the resources they need to make a full recovery.

What Are the Different Types of TBIs?
“A good personal injury lawyer will connect you to experts for consultations and integrate your TBI into your case.”
Most fall under one of the following three categories: • Mild TBIs/concussions. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control, three of every four traumatic brain injuries are concussions, making them the most common such injury. Generally, individuals with a mild TBI are unconscious for fewer than 30 minutes following their injury and experience confusion for about a day. It’s important to note, though, that some people with a mild TBI never lose consciousness at all. • Moderate TBIs. Those who experience a moderate TBI are generally unconscious for longer than a halfhour and experience confusion for up to a week after the injury. • Severe TBIs. These will usually cause a person to lose consciousness for more than a day and experience confusion for a week or longer. Some TBIs, such as penetrating brain injuries, are more evident (and therefore easier to prove) than others. The most difficult to diagnose and prove are typically mild or moderate TBIs, which might not show up on imaging such as MRI or CT scans and require dedicated care from a neurologist to diagnose, prove and address.
What Should You Know About TBI Cases?
Proving the incidence of a severe TBI, which can cause long-term memory loss or motor control, can be relatively simple—but doing the same for mild or moderate brain injuries is often a far bigger challenge. Knowledge of TBI symptoms is invaluable for personal injury attorneys, enabling them to identify which cases ought to be looked at more closely by an expert. Understanding the various types of TBIs and their symptoms also benefits injured parties who independently want to seek medical help or tell an attorney that they wish to pursue a TBI case.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, common signs of a traumatic brain injury include: • light and smell sensitivity • dilated pupils, blurred vision and slurred speech • lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting or fatigue • headaches, nausea and vomiting • restlessness, agitation and trouble sleeping • confusion and memory problems • behavior and mood changes • convulsions or seizures If you or someone you know has recently been injured and experienced any of these symptoms, discuss them with an attorney. A good personal injury lawyer will connect you to experts for consultations and integrate your TBI into your case, helping you obtain the compensation you need to recover. If you’re an attorney and a potential client comes to you with any of these symptoms after suffering a head injury, it might be worth organizing a consultation with a neurologist and evaluating the person for a TBI. Successfully pursuing a TBI case will likely net your client more compensation, helping them cover the long-term medical care many TBIs require. Incorporating traumatic brain injuries into our caseload at Wilshire has enabled our team to recover significantly greater recompense for clients, helping our firm grow exponentially. Whether you’re an attorney or a potential client, don’t let a potential TBI go undiagnosed. The success of your case could depend on it. ●

Think Globally, Act Safely
AS THE PANDEMIC (FITFULLY) RECEDES AT LAST, IS IT ONCE AGAIN SAFE TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY? IT IS—IF YOU TAKE A FEW COMMON-SENSE STEPS AHEAD OF TIME.
BY MICHAEL A. WINKLEMAN Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A.
I
T HAS BEEN a rough couple of years, to say the least, but there finally appears to be a ray of sunshine peeking over the horizon. With widespread vaccine availability and numerous other effective COVID-19 treatment options, it seems we’ve at last turned the corner on the pandemic. After two years of shutdowns and social distancing, the pent-up demand for travel is voracious. Questions linger, though: Is it safe to travel abroad? Is it safe to take a cruise? I make my livelihood (and our firm has since 1971) representing injured cruise ship passengers and workers, and those injured internationally, primarily at hotels and resorts. We’ve successfully represented thousands of clients and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars. As such, I have a unique perspective here—and I’ll do my best to succinctly unpack your most pressing travel-safety questions.
Is it safe to travel internationally right now?

“Don’t fall victim to the cruise line’s efforts to protect itself.”
A good policy can be worth its weight in gold: It typically won’t be expensive, but if something goes wrong, it can be an excellent tool to defray the staggering cost of emergency travel and medical care. I’ve heard far too many horror stories of clients having to max out multiple credit cards or pay $50,000 or more out of pocket for an emergency medical transport.
restrictions that make travel more difficult than it used to be. With a little homework, though, you can make sure you take the proper steps to get into (and back out of) any country. The best place to start is travel.state.gov. In addition to detailing countries’ COVID-19 policies, the State Department posts travel warnings specific to a given country. Want to go to Jamaica? The State Department doesn’t recommend it, advising Americans to “exercise increased caution in Jamaica due to crime.” Next, plan to stay at a major, reputable hotel chain. If an incident or injury occurs, they’re wellequipped to handle the situation. Should you ultimately need to file a lawsuit, too, you have a far better chance of success against a big chain. Finally, before you leave, buy travel insurance that includes emergency medical coverage.

INJURY & MALPRACTICE
If you get injured or otherwise harmed while staying at a hotel overseas, immediately report the incident to the hotel and do your best to document what happened with photos and video. It’s unlikely you’ll be back at the same location any time soon, so taking steps to properly preserve evidence is crucial. T he n se e k guid an ce f rom an at tor n ey experienced in handling international hotel and resort injury claims. These are nothing like stateside claims; significant jurisdictional issues make cases like this challenging. If your accident or injury occurs in Italy, for example, the defendant hotel or resort will try to force the case to be litigated in the country (not good). Experienced counsel will know there may be an opportunity to bring the case in the U.S. if a defendant hotel has a significant base of operations here. (Think Marriott or Hyatt, both of whose global headquarters are in the United States.) Any consultation with an experienced injury attorney should be free of charge. The vast majority of American injury attorneys work exclusively on contingency fees—meaning you don’t pay a penny unless the lawyer successfully recovers for you or your family.
Is it safe to bring my family on a cruise ship?
This is the most common question I get now that cruises have resumed after a nearly 18-month hibernation imposed by the federal Centers for Disease Control—and my answer might surprise you.

Many people think cruises are especially dangerous right now because of their inherently confined nature. In fact, a cruise may be one of the safer current travel environments. Why? Because all major cruise lines require almost all passengers and crew to be fully vaccinated and boosted. In addition, the industry has been engaged in the fight of its life just to continue sailing. As a result, it has enacted countless new measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19: testing upon boarding, enhanced ventilation, mask wearing and reduced capacity, among others. If an outbreak occurs, sick passengers or crew are quarantined. You’ll likely be fine on a cruise.
Forget COVID-19. What if I’m on a cruise and get sick or injured, or am the victim of a crime?
The answer starts with familiar advice: Buy travel insurance! Having said that, though, if you’re injured or harmed on the high seas, most major cruise lines (Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian) require any injury lawsuits against them to be filed in federal court in Miami. This is called a “forum selection clause,” and it’s buried in the tiny print of the passenger ticket contract— and it’s entirely enforceable. It is, indeed, why our firm has always had its global headquarters in Miami. A few cruise lines required lawsuits to be filed elsewhere. For Princess Cruises, it’s California; for Holland America, it’s Washington State. This is why our 14 full-time attorneys include those licensed in California and Washington—it enables us to sue any U.S.-based cruise line. The fact that cruise lines require lawsuits to be filed in the U.S. is actually a big advantage,
because the chance of success in American courts is far greater than in any other jurisdiction. There’s a catch, though: Not all cruise lines have a forum selection clause for litigation in the U.S. Viking Cruises, for example, mandates filing suit in Switzerland. Good luck litigating there. You must read the ticket contract and see where you’re required to sue in the event of injury. The steps you need to take in the event of an injury on a cruise ship are basically the same as if you’re injured at a hotel or resort overseas: Report the incident and do your best to properly document it. Watch out, though, as all major cruise lines, shortly after an accident or injury, will put a blank “accident/incident form” in front of you. These forms ask self-serving questions designed to protect the cruise line and hurt your case. What could you have done to avoid the incident? The company is hoping you’ll answer in a way—“I could have been more careful”—that can later be used against you in court. Don’t fall victim to the cruise line’s efforts to protect itself. The most important thing you can do if you’re injured at sea is to call an attorney who is experienced in handling such cases. There’s a distinct body of law known as admiralty and/or maritime law that applies to cruise ship cases. Any attorney who handles your case must be fully versed in these laws. You wouldn’t go to a psychiatrist for a broken leg; don’t go to an attorney who doesn’t specialize in this niche area of the law. That’s where we come in. For more than 50 years we’ve successfully represented clients who have been injured internationally, whether on land or at sea. So is it safe to travel and cruise internationally? As I’ve laid out above, I certainly believe it is. The good news is that if problems arise, you’ve got a solid team of trusted advocates who are ready to help. Safe travels! ●

O
N MAY 17, 1991, a 30-year-old African American Navy veteran was riding his motorcycle on a residential street where he came upon a Cadillac which appeared to be parked alongside the curb. The car on his right suddenly veered in front of him attempting to make a U-turn, and he hit the Cadillac squarely on the driver’s door. Luckily, he was wearing a helmet; unluckily, it lacked a face shield, a protective device that was not common on motorcycle helmets at the time. He couldn’t later remember if he lost consciousness, but he did lose track of time as he lay bleeding on the street. An ambulance took him to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder and facial fractures, including orbital and mandibular fragmentation. After a surgeon reconstructed his face, he remained hospitalized for close to a week.

Litigation began about a year into his recovery because the insurance company for the driver of the Cadillac denied responsibility for the accident. Discovery commenced, and the victim’s lawyer—who was relatively inexperienced—was

more concerned with the longstanding effects of his client’s facial fractures, which now included cranio-mandibular joint disease and double vision. The attorney couldn’t discern the telltale signs of a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). His client had trouble with balance, seemed forgetful, missed appointments and was periodically at a loss for words. To top it off, this now 31-year-old man was now suffering from major depression. The case continued through discovery, and the defense compelled the victim to undergo a neuropsychological examination. His attorney requested that a psychologist accompany his client to the exam to monitor the testing and gauge whether it was done properly. The claimant’s retained psychologist reported back that a defense psychometrist did most of the testing and that both the psychometrist and the neuropsychologist made a number of mistakes. Not until the attorney received the defense’s neuropsychological report did he recognize that his client had suffered a traumatic brain injury. The defense neuropsychologist indicated that any test result that was below average, including the victim’s IQ of 89, was due to his “socioeconomic background.” In other words, that figure was expected because he was African American. At trial, the victim’s counsel deftly asked the neuropsychologist what he meant by “socioeconomic background.” After a rash of

nonsensical responses, the attorney cut in: “Do you know what my client does for a living?” “I think he works in a hospital in some capacity,” came the reply.

the jury that the victim had suffered a traumatic brain injury. The jury, finding for the motorcyclist, provided substantial monetar y damages, which the insurance carrier was compelled to pay. The victim was never able to work again, is still alive, still contends with chronic problems stemming from the brain injury and remains friends with his former attorney. Traumatic brain injuries come in many varieties. Major to moderate injuries are easier to spot. Radiographs such as CTs (computerized tomography), MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) or DTIs (diffusion tensor imaging) will usually catch disturbances. Within seconds to hours of the initial trauma, there may be a change in status in which the victim appears fine but then loses consciousness or exhibits stroke-like symptoms due to bleeding on the brain. The person may look normal but have problems with concentration, speech or myriad other tasks. Mild traumatic brain injuries are more difficult to discern. In a vast number of cases, CT scans and MRIs do not pick up the highly subtle changes
that can occur from a head injury involving shearing rotational forces. A head injury can occur whether the victim was wearing a helmet or not. Symptoms may also be subtle to the victim or loved ones: potential loss of consciousness or post-traumatic amnesia, slurred speech, loss of balance, personality changes, vertigo, tinnitus, headaches, visual disturbances, light sensitivity, difficulties with concentration or memory, problems with being organized, fatigue, insomnia, depression and anxiety. The key is to get a baseline evaluation of the victim as early as possible to see how he does on the batter y of neuropsychological tests. Even though the vast majority of mTBIs dissipate within six months, symptoms linger for a great number of victims. As such, it’s good to be retested at least once a year after the first neuropsychological tests. These tests have built-in validity scales such as the MMPI-2, which has four scales assessing the victim’s ability to take the test in an accurate manner so the practitioner can see if the victim is giving a full effort, and if the testing is valid.
The science of traumatic brain injuries has improved greatly since 1991. Studies by professional sports leagues, the military and the medical and scientific communities have shown that what was once thought to be just a minor concussion can in fact become a debilitating long-term injury. (The term “minor” is a medical classification and should not be used to indicate that the condition is small or inconsequential.) Te c h n o l o g i c a l advances include improvements in radiographs—including MRIs, functional MRIs (fMRIs), DTIs and quantitative electroencephalograms (qEEGs)—and blood t e s t s c a l l e d “ b r a i n t r a u m a i n d i c a t o r s ,” which may show cer tain elevated protein levels consistent with brain injuries. Mild traumatic brain injuries and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) were once provable only by autopsy, but scientific advances make them easier to demonstrate while the victim is alive, to help with progress and recovery—and to take steps, however fitful, toward a future in which these devastating ailments will no longer exact such a ruinous toll. ●

ROUDA FEDER TIETJEN & McGUINN
Catastrophic Injury, Consumer Protection, Discrimination
ROUDA FEDER TIETJEN & MCGUINN is a nationally renowned plaintiff law firm that, over the past 40 years, has regularly celebrated major results, milestones and accolades. The firm continued that tradition this past year by securing precedent-setting verdicts and settlements in the areas of personal injury, wrongful death, premises liability and public entity liability. Partner Cynthia McGuinn said the firm’s success rests on a combination of focus, determination and heart. “We’re hired to win and secure maximum compensation, but we also provide emotional support,” said McGuinn, who was named to Lawdragon’s top 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers in 2019. She has also been recognized as a “Top Woman Litigator” in California every year since 2005 and recently, she became the 2022 CAL ABOTA Trial Lawyer of the year. “We accept the cases that have heart and meaning for us.” Many of those are challenging, high-profile cases which present unique factual and legal issues. McGuinn led one such case, representing a woman who was found at the bottom of a fire escape nearly 14 hours after she left a colleague’s apartment, where social drinking had occurred. No one saw her fall and how she got there was unknown. What was known was that her injuries had rendered her brain damaged and paraplegic and that the fire escape was not fully protected by a rail. That case settled for $14.25 million. In another tragic case, McGuinn represented a woman struck by a vehicle transporting fire debris from the 2017 Tubbs Fire, in which the woman’s home had been destroyed. That same woman later became the victim of medical malpractice at the hospital that treated her for her accident-related injuries and, thereafter, she tragically succumbed to cancer before her case could be completed. Nonetheless, McGuinn was able to secure $2 million for her surviving spouse for her own losses of the care and comfort of the decedent. McGuinn holds the record for the largest personal injury jury verdict in the history of Sonoma County. Partner Tim Tietjen was a major contributor to the firm’s red-letter

year, having secured two results involving separate accidental tree falls and crashes: a $58 million judgment along with firm lawyer Robert Igleheart for a 28-year-old worker who was catastrophically injured and a $47.5 million settlement for a 12-year-old’s critical injuries, surgeries and future treatment after Tietjen led the Rouda legal team through a six-year litigation to its successful conclusion. This marked the largest pretrial injury settlement for a single plaintiff in California history. Partner John Feder, a past president of California’s statewide plaintiff consumer attorney organization, has successfully handled wrongful death cases involving bicyclists struck by motorists, where both the motorists and the public entities that controlled the roadway were at fault. He successfully handled a recent matter involving four bicyclists struck by a truck during a charity bike ride to promote bicycle safety. John Feder also successfully resolved bus/ pedestrian collision cases. Feder and firm partner June Bashant secured nearly $20 million for a wrongful death case involving a major hotel owner/operator who had created a public safety risk by designing and constructing unsafe accommodations that exposed guests to the potential of serious injury and death. June Bashant obtained a seven-figure settlement against an online retailer based on the defective design and failure to warn of the safety hazards associated with food packaging. Bashant also obtained a multi-million-dollar settlement for wrongful death in a case against a security company for negligent hiring and training of security officers. June Bashant is also named on Lawdragon’s top 500 leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers in 2022. Additionally, the firm was again recognized by Best Lawyers, achieving a Tier 1 ranking in the areas of Personal Injury Litigation– Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation–Plaintiffs in the San Francisco metro area for 2020. Reflecting on what drives RFTM’s success, John Feder noted: “We love making a difference in our clients’ lives. Their trust is sacred to us and that honor constantly inspires every member of our firm.”

EOPLE A RE INITI ATED into grownup society through a series of rites of passage—significant lifechanging moments, like learning how to drive a car or achieving a career-defining job. As we go through the motions of an established routine, created by habits adhered to consistently every day, the last thing on our mind is the fragility of life in its most mundane moments. Life and consistency are freighted with new meaning for many of the clients we meet as personal injury attorneys. A client of mine, at the time a 38-year-old husband and father of two, was blindsided by a severe car accident during one such mundane moment—while commuting to work.In the dark early-morning hours, the driver of a tractor-trailer had pulled over to the highway shoulder to check out a problem with his truck’s electrical system. The driver returned to the road, pulling out in front of my client—with no lights on. In the dark, traveling at highway speed, my client couldn’t make out the unlit truck in time. His car smashed into the back of the trailer, crushing his vehicle and pinning it beneath the truck, which continued down the road. The car caught fire, incinerating my client’s legs before fire and rescue were able to extract him. The injuries he sustained were pivotal, resulting in bilateral amputation of the legs and multiple surgeries. I have always led with the conviction that no detail is too small, and no opponent too big. Met with the expected stony opposition of an industry leader, we persevered—and our suit against a massive Fortune 10 trucking company eventually closed in a settlement in favor of my client, who sought damages for medical bills, future medical care, lost property, lost wages and pain and suffering. In addition to seeking a promising settlement for him, I wanted my client to be prepared for many drastic changes to his everyday life. www.bestlawyers.com | 6 7
Interstate 95 in Florida, on which the incident took place, is known as one of the least regulated stretches of road in the Sunshine State, Florida Highway Patrol auxiliary trooper Charles Miller told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in 2020. It’s the most traveled road in the state, traversed by more than 300,000 vehicles a day. Its size—it ranges from four to 12 lanes of traffic—and 70 mile-per-hour average speed limit have made it indispensable for moving goods through the state and to and from its many ports. Infrastructure is the cornerstone of Florida’s economy. According to a 2021 report from the American Society
of Civil Engineers, the state’s population grows by about 1% a year, an increase of some 200,000 people—in effect adding a city the size of Orlando every 12 months. A U.S. Census Bureau report from the same year ranked Florida number two for the largest population growth from 2020 to 2021. As the state’s infrastructure continues to develop in conjunction with the regular influx of new residents, out-of-state travelers and consumer demand, highway traffic and commercial trucking are on the rise. The growing number of enormous vehicles on the road challenges the safety of all drivers. Trucking companies, manufacturers and drivers, now more than ever, must be aware of the safety responsibility inherent to the operation of a 40-ton vehicle. Drivers must be properly trained, pilot mechanically sound vehicles and adhere to the laws and regulations in place to make highways safe for all. At one point, in an effort to reduce crashes involving large trucks and cars on the southeastern stretch of I-95 that result in severe injuries and deaths, law enforcement agencies in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas launched “Operation Safe Drive on I-95,” adding traffic enforcement to more than 900 miles of highway. Given that the Florida Department of Highway and Motor Vehicles reported an increase of more than 19,000 medium/heavy truck accidents from 2010 to 2020, it’s imperative that the state and private businesses initiate changes to commercial trucking. My client was lucky to have survived. Reckless and hasty decisions unfairly and grievously affected this man and his family in what was, ultimately, a preventable tragedy. In the ensuing years, my client faced extensive medical treatments and will forever be reminded of that day as he performs daily tasks with a fraction of his former ease. The practice of personal injury law so often reminds me that our lives can change in the blink of an eye—and of the importance of first responders, medical professionals and legal teams in protecting the livelihood of truck accident victims whose lives have been instantly shattered. Looking back today, my client speaks of strength, greatness and perseverance as well as how crucial it is to surround oneself with supportive people during the healing process. I’m tremendously grateful to have witnessed such courage throughout my career—and while I’m also grateful to have played a role in fighting for truth, justice and restitution, trucking companies need to have better training and safety protocols in place to ensure that accidents like these do not happen to innocent drivers. ●

WAS IN MY OFFICE when a call came through from a potential client who had recently left the hospital after a terrible car accident. She had been driving in a rural area near her home and had a T-bone collision with a pickup at a dirt-road intersection. Both vehicles were badly damaged; she and the other driver each sustained serious injuries. Because of a mild traumatic brain injury caused by the crash, she couldn’t remember anything about it. The last thing she recalled was approaching the stop sign at the intersection. She was calling me not to bring a claim against the other driver, but because she had been notified that the driver had hired an attorney who was making a claim against not only her insurance policy but her personal assets. “I know I had the stop sign,” she told me, “but I drive that road every day, and there is no way I would have just blown through the intersection.”

can be used to prove previously unwinnable autocollision cases. For this client, that data was key not only to protecting her personal assets but ultimately to making a successful recovery against the other driver’s insurance company on her behalf.
Had I taken this call a decade ago, there would likely have been nothing I could do to help. An unwitnessed accident on a rural road of which my client remembered nothing and the other driver had the right of way would have been a steep evidentiary hill to climb. We might have been able to hire an accident reconstructionist for $10,000 or $15,000 in the hope of estimating the other driver’s speed as excessive, but it’s highly unlikely that would have overcome the fact that he had the right of way. Thankfully, though, nearly every noncommercial vehicle now stores extensive “black box” data that

INJURY & MALPRACTICE
Most people know that commercial airplanes are equipped with virtually indestructible black box flight recorders that gather information from flight computers. After a jet crash, data retrieved from the black box plays a critical role in definitively determining the cause. Much less well known is that cars now employ the same technology. The concept of recording crash data in motor vehicles is not new. Starting in the 1990s, the major American automakers began installing rudimentary data recorders in their vehicles as an internal mechanism to see how they performed in a crash. The data recorded was not uniform, though, and it was difficult to access. In the early 2000s, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began collecting black box information, and since 2014, every new vehicle has been outfitted with a black box whose data must be retrievable via computer download. If any such car is involved in a crash, the black box stores information from the 20 seconds prior to impact: vehicle speed, throttle position, airbag deployment times, engine speed, steering angles, whether the driver applied the brakes and whether those inside were wearing seat belts. For purposes of reconstructing an accident, this data can be more accurate and more valuable than any eyewitness testimony. But it’s useful only if it’s retrieved in the first place. Far too often, unrepresented victims (and even some attorneys) miss their chance to access the data. There are steps that can force the driver at fault or the insurance company to preserve the black box, but if they aren’t taken soon after the accident, access to the information may be lost forever.

Preserving and Accessing the Black Box
Any data preserved on a vehicle’s black box is theoretically available until the vehicle is destroyed or the black box removed. Downloading the information is not difficult for a trained professional, and the modest cost of doing so is typically advanced by a client’s attorney. That doesn’t mean that the insurance adjuster handling the claim will automatically preserve the black box or will voluntarily agree to permit access to the at-fault driver’s vehicle. Some might maintain that the data is the rightful property of the vehicle’s owner and refuse to make it available on privacy grounds. Indeed, numerous states have made it illegal to download black box data without the owner’s permission, so withholding access from third parties may be allowed initially. This might work as a temporary b a r r i e r, b u t t h e p r i v a c y argument will likely fail if challenged in court by an attorney representing a client in a contested liability case. Because such challenges take time and the vehicle in question could be long gone before a suit is initiated, a timely let ter demanding that all data be preserved until it can be downloaded is one of the first steps an at torney ought to consider after being retained. This kind of letter often lead to direct data access—and can also perfect a later claim for destruction of evidence if the preservation request is disregarded and the vehicle sold or destroyed. Even if a non-totaled car has been sold, it might not be too late to get the data. Title research done online can help locate the car’s current owner, who now owns the black box and any data it holds, even if it was recorded before he or she bought the car. In such a case, the current owner may agree to allow an expert to download the data from before he or she took title. Assuming a client retains a knowledgeable attorney early, the more typical scenario is that every vehicle involved in an accident will be available for a sufficient time to conduct a download. An expert can easily plug into the black box and download the data, which is then translated into a program that outlines the key information from the crash itself, as well as the preceding 20 seconds. The data downloaded from the black box of my

client—the one with no memory collisiondata cd file # 19-0647 of her T-bone crash—was not surprising. It showed that as she approached the stop sign, she came almost to a complete stop before entering the intersection. The other driver’s black box told a much more dramatic and unexpected story: It showed his speed at 75 miles per hour five seconds prior to impact, on a rural dirt road with a speed limit of 35. Although my client’s car would have been clearly visible to him as he approached, instead of braking and turning away from her as she entered the intersection, the black box data revealed he briefly took his foot off the gas and then accelerated while steering towards her, making impact at over 70 miles per hour. While we can never know for sure why he took such aggressive and perilous actions, the data clearly demonstrated an intent to cause a crash that could easily have been avoided. That’s all it took to protect my client’s previously vulnerable assets and recover the full value of insurance coverage on her behalf. It also gave her peace of mind knowing she hadn’t been careless in a way that brought harm to someone else. Anyone involved in a car accident resulting in injuries should be aware of the extensive data stored on an automobile’s black box and take steps to make sure it’s preserved. What you find might not be as dramatic as in my client’s case, but it might end up just as critical to proving a case of contested fault. ● IMAGE COMPLETED BY
