August 30, 2015/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

For President George W. Bush and Congress to get Medicare Part D drug coverage passed in 2003, they had to make significant concessions to big business, including the drug industry. One of the law’s provisions forbids the government from setting rules for negotiating better drug prices. The “noninterference” section says: In order to promote competition […]

August 3, 2015/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

If you like it, then you have to put a ring on it. In the mediation context, that means documenting your agreement.

WHY YOUR WORKERS COMP CLAIM EVALUATION IS WRONG

March 30, 2015/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

Contradictory dynamics involving life expectancy affect your large-exposure workers compensation claim evaluations. The industrial injury plus co-morbidities may decrease the injured worker’s life expectancy. But medical advances and heredity may mean your estimate of the injured worker’s life expectancy is too low. The Mortality Table Isn’t the Whole Story Parties typically use a mortality table to compute […]

YOU CAN’T SETTLE IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE ISSUES

January 23, 2015/0 Comments/by Teddy Snyder

HOW MANY PIECES ARE THERE TO THE SETTLEMENT PUZZLE?   Answer:  Probably more than you think. The more issues there are in a negotiation, the greater the opportunity for give and take across issues. This adds flexibility for parties to shape a settlement acceptable to all. Trading across issues in negotiation is called “logrolling.”Every case has its own […]

Settlement Ethics

January 10, 2015/1 Comment/by Teddy Snyder

Ethics are the moral principles that govern behavior. Every workers compensation professional has ethical rules to follow. For attorneys, these are spelled out in Codes of Professional Responsibility, statutes and sometimes case law.
