As part of his proposal to control health care costs, Governor Cuomo has proposed capping medical malpractice payments for non-economic losses at $250,000. We have all heard the claims that medical malpractice premiums are driving doctors out of business and raising our health care costs, so caps would help everyone but the lawyers. Right? Wrong.

I receive many questions concerning children hurt at day care or school. We depend so much on the teachers and people that watch over our children and appreciate what they do for our children.

Arriving home can make us feel comfortable and safe, yet for one New York City woman, the lobby of her apartment building turned out to be anything but safe.

I have used this blog to explain the various steps in the legal process. Today, I will write about the Request for Judicial Intervention (RJI).
As the name suggests, an attorney files an RJI to ask the court to intervene in a court action. The RJI can be an important tool in both prosecuting a case and moving it forward. Most commonly, I file an RJI at the beginning of the Discovery phase and that triggers a meeting of the lawyers for all parties involved in the lawsuit. That meeting is called… [read post]

Summary judgment occurs anytime a court makes a ruling on a case or part of a case without a full trial. A motion for summary judgment is simply a formal request by one of the parties to a lawsuit asking the judge to make a summary judgment ruling. Summary judgment rulings should only occur when there is no dispute in facts and the decision is clear and obvious. A summary judgment ruling can eliminate the need for a trial or can speed up a trial and reduce expenses by ruling on part of the case. [read post]
