[@realresident1890]

Excellent video, excellent attorney!

I am very happy I found your channel. You are very informative, I like the way you take your time and speak slowly so we can understand every topic. Thanks again, I look forward to listening

[@AttorneyArkady]

I’m glad it’s helpful and informative. Thank you so much

I promise to talk to you guys in a little while

[@AttorneyArkady]

Sounds good

[@charlesvandenburgh7754]

If a possible summary judgement would favor the plantiff, is it better to proceed to mediation or take a chance with trial?

[@AttorneyArkady]

Well if a plaintiff can win summary judgment I recommend filing a motion to secure that judgment on liability then you get 9% interest on any future damages judgment. So at that point you can try mediation and if the defense does not pay the number you want take it to trial for more

[@reddingannamaria]

Hi, in Florida it’t the law you have to mediate.

[@AttorneyArkady]

Yes many states have that requirement but real trial lawyers go in and when the judge asks what’s your demand they say a jury trial.

@@AttorneyArkady can you point me to your settlement opportunities letter video? Thank you,

[@AttorneyArkady]

I believe this one discussed it in depth. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3S1aKNmituZn7M I had a few that discuss settlement opportunity letters. But I think probably need to do one more that makes it clear :)

Attorney Frekhtman I know someone who had A slip and fall in A major retail store and the Dr's diagnosed them with A Lumbar Spine Injury L5 S1 and is going to require A Disc Replacement Surgery, can This case be settled before the surgery, and how much do A case like this usually settle for?

[@AttorneyArkady]

Usually the settlement or verdict will be after the surgery. Disc replacement is very serious so can be a multi million result where did this happen ? And is the retail store at fault for the fall ? Feel free to text me 347-566-9595

Hello my question is this: my case they're about to settle but their meeting with the.judge in her chambers and the the defendant did admit liability. Do I go to this meeting?

[@AttorneyArkady]

If it’s a mediation or court appearance you can go. Ask your lawyer if they want you to go. Usually clients either attend mediations or they are available to discuss then settlement offers and provide consent

[@scottjustin9800]

I wouldn't say a jury trial is a hammer. It's more like a bus with bad brakes going through an icy mountain road. The side with the better facts has more tread on the tires, but both sides are at risk of a blowout (rogue judge or jury) causing the bus to go flying over the cliff. That's why, 90-97% of (viable) cases settle before jury verdict. This doesn't even consider years of appeals after a jury verdict regardless of which side prevails.

[@AttorneyArkady]

Well if you prep the case properly then it’s a hammer in the sense that if the insurance company doesn’t pay you your number you’re going to get more from a jury. No one will every trial but trial is the only way to get the insurance companies to pay fair value

[@scottjustin9800]

@@AttorneyArkady I'll put it this way. I'm a trial lawyer and a crypto investor. Juries worry me more. I probably take 20-30% more depositions in every case than necessary so as to leave no stone unturned. That said, I came up after OJ and before Casey Anthony. Also, I consider 60-70& of judges subpar in some fashion or form. I rarely settle and hardly ever mediate before expert witness disclosure, but if I can get 80% of what I'd consider a good jury award via mediation, I'll recommend it--because living the nightmare scenario is not worth the extra 20%.

[@thomasesparks2017]

Great Job!

[@AttorneyArkady]

Thanks !!!

[@Trolls584]

So what if the insurance company give u a good offer the first time would it be smart to take it like say if you was ask for 500 k and they offer 375 k would that be pretty fair

[@AttorneyArkady]

Yea it depends on the case and all circumstances. 375/500 isn’t bad bc you have to consider going to trial you may spend 2 weeks time and pay experts $20k or more if you have 2 or more doctors , or safety engineering experts , and economists etc. plus you always have the risk of losing or getting less

[@alberteinstein3078]

Do you always have to do a deposition on a major case?

[@AttorneyArkady]

Usually but not always. If it’s a major case that involves litigation and has significant value depositions will be needed.

[@sugabay]

Is mediation the same as a cmc ? , and is a cmc free ? Or who pays for it .

[@AttorneyArkady]

Yes it should be free. I think you are referring to a case management conference. That’s when both sides and the judge have a conference and decide on how to handle the case including document discovery, depositions, etc. A mediation is different as it is a negotiation to attempt to settle the matter.

[@sugabay]

@@AttorneyArkady Thank you . Yes that is exactly what I'm referring to 😊

[@chantisseh]

Is mediation a hearing

[@AttorneyArkady]

Yes just a hearing with a judge both sides agree on. Not binding so it’s just an attempt to settle

[@chantisseh]

Ok thanks
