Personal Injury Report
In this unhappy scenario, you can potentially wind up with only a small fraction of your award or settlement after paying your attorney and the IRS. Of course, this outcome is completely unfair, but such is life when our beloved Congress makes the rules. Special Rule for Attorney Fees in Discrimination Cases There is one exception to the unfavorable general rule for attorney fees that I just explained. Fees incurred in certain unlawful discrimination cases can be deducted in full on page of your Form 1040 without any limitations. That way, youre not taxed on money that goes to your attorney, because you can deduct that amount.

Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer, Farhad Hamdam, Offers Consultations for Personal Injury Cases
I went out frisbee golfing and I was doing great. I birdied #4 for the first time ever, and then threw a couple of perfect birdies on #5 and #6. What a great start! Then I took a step back to make room for my partner to throw, stepped on a rock, twisted my right ankle, and came crashing down on my left elbow. Seven X-rays later I learned that I had a bone chip in my ankle and a small fracture in my elbow. I can't use crutches to get around because my left arm is in a splint and a sling, and a wheelchair is no good because my house has steps and stairs all over the place. For now I'm hopping around on one foot with the aid of a cane and typing this blog post one-handed. I think it's safe to say that blogging will be a little lighter than usual for a while. On the bright side, at least it's August, when nothing interesting happens anyway.

Personal-injury plaintiffs just want fair treatment
The insurance company offered him $3,500. Why would he even consider settling his case for such a low offer? As such, he has been forced to trial because the insurance company has not treated him fairly. Unfortunately, I am not permitted to tell the jury what the insurance company has offered in settlement because, if I did, most people would be outraged. Instead, I have a group of potential jurors who assume my client is seeking retirement money, and that is why he is in trial. Insurance companies have done a great job of making the public extremely skeptical of all personal-injury plaintiffs, when the truth is, all plaintiffs want is to be treated fairly. That is why you need a Board-certified civil-trial attorney to help fight the insurance companies.

Taxman's cut of personal injury awards
Stock Watch Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer, Farhad Hamdam, Offers Consultations for Personal Injury Cases Press Release: Farhad Hamdam Fri, Aug 9, 2013 10:00 AM EDT Print LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Farhad Hamdam, Los Angeles personal injury attorney , is offering free consultations for the victims of personal injury accidents and their families. Whether the victim was injured or killed in an automobile accident, a slip and fall accident, a burn accident, or any other type of accident that was due to the negligence of another, Mr. Hamdam can help. Many victims do not realize that they may be entitled to compensation when they are injured in an accident that was caused by someone else. This compensation can include medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other costs associated with the accident. Similarly, family members may be entitled to lost wages and medical fees when a family member has been killed in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another person. Other victims believe that because their injury was not severe or life threatening they are not entitled to compensation. This is not the case. A variety of injuries, both severe, such as brain injuries, severe burns, and lost limbs, and less serious, such as minor or moderate burns and sprains, qualify for a personal injury case. As long as the injury has been documented by a medical authority and can be proven to result from the accident, Mr.

THE LAW; Personal-Injury Lawyer: New Era, New Image
However, the circuit court granted Long and Akers motion to dismiss and denied Wallaces motion to amend the complaint on May 24, 2012 and June 28, 2012, respectively. Dale Wallace appealed the dismissal order to the state high court, arguing that since both respondents had participated in discovery and were prepared to go to trial before the circuit court, the two construction companies would not have been prejudiced. Petitioner Wallace further argued that the amended complaint would not have raised new substantive issues because it arose out of the same occurrence as the original complaint. The court, quoting Brooks vs. Isinghood, stated: Under the 1998 amendments to Rule 15(c)(3) of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure, before a plaintiff may amend a complaint to add a new defendant, it must be established that the newly-added defendant (1) received notice of the original action and (2) knew or should have known that, but for a mistake concerning the identity of the proper party, the action would have been brought against the newly-added defendant, prior to the running of the statute of limitation or within the period prescribed for service of the summons and complaint, whichever is greater.

Court denies request to add additional defendants to personal injury lawsuit
''In 1960, when I started, the cases were mostly slip-and-fall and auto,'' said Robert Conason of Gair, Gair & Conason in New York. ''There was virtually no medical malpractice and mass injury. Today, they constitute 40 percent of our cases.'' The complexity of these cases contributed to the profession's allure. Lawrence S. Charfoos, senior partner of Charfoos & Christensen in Detroit, who, with David W. Christensen, is co-author of ''Personal Injury Practice: Technique and Technology,'' said that successful personal injury lawyers must be expert in fields like medicine or engineering. ''You must be able to speak the language of expert witnesses, without losing the jury,'' Mr. Charfoos explained.
