YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF B-E-D TO SETTLE

July 25, 2016/by wcmediator

Maybe being in BED- Blame, Excuses, Denial- is really what’s blocking your ability to close claims. Blame It’s easy to blame the other side. “The adjuster/ defense attorney/ applicant’s counsel isn’t paying attention.”  “They’re keeping the case going for the wrong reasons.” Whatever. The only person you can control is you. Without casting aspersions, start communicating anew keeping […]

Cannibal Negotiation

June 8, 2016/by wcmediator

Cannibal negotiation refers to a deal where parties figure out how to get money from an entity not at the table. The term originates from an arrangement where OldCo paid NewCo to keep NewCo’s cheaper, competing product off the market. NewCo is paid for not selling anything. The buyers who need that product have to […]

Structured Settlements Structured settlements are ideal for funding Medicare Set-Asides. Structured settlements provide tax-free periodic payments over a specified period of time, which can be for the life of the injured worker. The structure costs less than lump-sum funding, […]

Does This Mediation Make Me Look Fat?

May 7, 2016/by wcmediator

Nobody wants to look bad. Turns out some workers compensation professionals think recommending mediation makes it look like they couldn’t get the claim settled themselves. Mediating a claim doesn’t make you look bad. It makes you look smart. Are You A Litigation Expert? Most claims settle. Mediation makes it happen sooner.Litigation experts realize that going to trial […]

What You Don’t Know About EAMS

April 28, 2016/by wcmediator

The lawyer told me, “I can only see the cases where I’m the attorney of record.” The hearing rep told me, “I don’t have access to EAMS.” Wrong and wrong. It’s a Government Database EAMS is a PUBLIC database of filed California Worker Compensation cases. Anyone can log in to https://eams.dwc.ca.gov/WebEnhancement/ to see case information. […]

How Did You Get To That Number?

March 9, 2016/2 Comments/by wcmediator

Case evaluation is part art and a lot of math. We’re not talking calculus; we’re talking arithmetic. A surprisingly large number of lawyers tell me they’re bad at math. They’re not alone. CNN anchor Chris Cuomo recently got his math corrected by his co-anchor Michaela Pereira while discussing Powerball lottery numbers.   You can’t come […]

Mediation or Arbitration

January 25, 2016/by wcmediator

Confusion continues about mediation compared to arbitration. The processes are very different. Mediation Parties come to mediation to achieve settlement. A mediator helps people negotiate to that end. I spend most of a mediation with parties in separate confidential sessions. I help them define issues, understand alternatives, and compose offers and demands. I convey information […]
