The 3 Stages of a Personal Injury Claim

Most personal injury claims go through the pre-suit process. There are three stages: investigation, evaluation, and negotiation. If this process fails to provide you with an adequate recovery, there is always the possibility of filing a personal injury lawsuit. In this blog post, we will go over the different stages of personal injury claims.

 Investigation: During the investigation of your claim, our legal team will compile all of the necessary information for your claim. In some cases, an accident reconstructionist is used to recreate the accident scene. During the investigation, our legal team will compile all of the necessary information for your claim.miami accident Attorney This will include obtaining a copy of the crash report, speaking to law enforcement officers involved, and compiling photographs of the vehicles and the accident scene. We will also take statements from any witnesses or passengers. We will also obtain copies of your medical records and bills. Once the investigation is complete and you have completed the necessary medical treatment, your case moves to the next stage in the personal injury claims process, evaluation.

 Evaluation: Once we have completed our investigation of your claim and you have finished receiving treatment for your medical injuries, we will evaluate your claim. In most instances, we will decide to move your claim to the next stage. Sometimes, it will be necessary to place your claim directly into litigation. This can be for many reasons, such as the insurance has denied the claim or liability is being disputed. In evaluating your claim, your attorney will review the facts of the crash including how the at-fault party contributed to the crash. Your attorney will then evaluate your damages. This will include a complete review of your medical records to understand your injury and treatment. They will also review other damages such as lost wages and property damage. Once your claim has been evaluated, our legal team will prepare what is known as a demand package to send the insurance company. This demand package is an important part of your claims process. A demand package will include a copy of your crash report, copies of your medical records and bills, and a description of the specifics of your case. The demand package will include a portion outlining the theory of liability which is essentially what the at-fault party did to cause the accident in the first place.

 Negotiation: Once the insurance adjuster assigned to your claim has reviewed the demand package, the negotiation phase of your claim begins.Miami Accident Lawyer The insurance adjuster will respond to your demand package in one of three ways: 1) denial; 2) request for more information; 3) make an offer to settle your claim. Based on experience, we usually have an idea of which claims need to be placed in litigation before a demand package is completed and vice versa.

It’s emolumental.

Bribery, foreign influence in the Oval Office, and Doral - Trump’s struggling Miami golf course.

Emolumental: Mulvaney and Trump Like Doral for a G-7 Quid Pro Quo

No financial conflict. No Constitution. No worry.

Timothy L. Obrien | Published October 18, 2019, 6:00 AM EDT | Bloomberg | Posted October 18, 2019 |

If you’re wondering how the White House decided a Miami golf resort owned by President Donald Trump was the best venue for a major diplomatic gathering, the Group of Seven summit, the U.S. will host next June, Mick Mulvaney has answers.

In a press briefing on Thursday, Trump’s acting chief of staff said his team made its choice after analyzing about a dozen criteria “used by past administrations” that included accommodations as well as “ballrooms, bilateral rooms, the number of rooms, the photo ops, the support hotels that are there, the proximity to cities and airports, helicopter landing zones, medical facilities, etc.”

During a visit to Europe in July, the president himself said that he liked the idea of holding the G-7 at Trump National Doral because his Florida spread has “tremendous acreage” and “people are liking it.” But that didn’t mean Trump’s advisers would just roll over and do whatever their boss wanted. Instead, Mulvaney assured us, the White House deployed “an advance team” to examine multiple locations in several states. That scrutiny produced a list of four finalists the crack team pored over before deciding, against the odds, that Doral was the one.

“Doral was, by far and away — far and away — the best physical facility for this meeting,” Mulvaney said at the press briefing. “In fact, I was talking to one of the advance teams when they came back, and I said, ‘What was it like?’ And they said, ‘Mick, you’re not going to believe this, but it’s almost like they built this facility to host this type of event.’” 

That means, presumably, that Mulvaney never had a conversation in the Oval Office about the selection process that might have gone like this:

Mulvaney: “We’re looking at several sites and –”

Trump: “Doral.”

Mulvaney: “But Mr. President, if you hold the G-7 at your own place that means that the government is using taxpayer funds to fill your wallet and –”

Trump: “Doral.”

Mulvaney: “I just want to remind you about the grief we got when the vice president stayed at your hotel in Ireland and –”

Trump: “Doral.”

Mulvaney: “And the grief we got about the our military personnel staying at your golf club in Scotland because –”

Trump: “Doral.”

Mulvaney: “There’s also been lots of chatter about all of the diplomats who stay at your Washington hotel and –”

Trump: “Doral.”

Mulvaney: “Let’s not forget the Kushners used your image and name for product marketing in China, Jared’s maneuvers with 666 Fifth Avenue, the trademarks China suddenly awarded you and Ivanka, taxpayer funds used to help Don Jr. and Eric make overseas business trips or to help you golf all the time at your own clubs, or questions about why you keep appeasing guys like Putin and Erdogan, and why you haven’t really distanced yourself from your businesses or released your tax returns and –”

Trump: “Doral.”

Mulvaney: “Well, I’ve thought about it, and I’d like to recommend Doral to you, Mr. President.”

Trump: “Thank you Mick, that’s a great idea.”

Nope, a conversation like that never could have happened and Mulvaney held his press conference to make sure reporters could take his word for it. And sure enough, a reporter did ask if Trump personally intervened to get Doral on the short list of G-7 venues. Yep, he did, Mulvaney answered.

“We sat around one night. We were back in the dining room and I was going over it with a couple of our advance team. We had the list, and [Trump] goes, ‘What about Doral?’  And it was like, ‘That’s not the craziest idea. It makes perfect sense.’”

That’s the kind of answer that could convince skeptics Trump is violating “emoluments” provisions in the Constitution that bar presidents from accepting payments from foreign governments (since lots of foreign governments attending the G-7 will be spending money at Doral).

Mulvaney tried to get in front of that by asking and then answering the most obvious question about hosting the G-7 at Doral.

Does Trump Realize the Trouble He’s In?

Recognizing when things are going wrong is an essential skill of the presidency. Trump doesn’t seem to have it.

Jonathan Bernstein | Published October 17, 2019, 6:30 AM EDT | Bloomberg | Posted October 18, 2019 |

Wednesday, the 1,000th day of Donald Trump’s presidency, went badly. That’s no surprise; most of the first 999 days went badly too. I have no idea if he’s going to wind up getting ousted from office, either as a result of the impeachment House Democrats are readying or the 2020 election. But things are getting worse for Trump — whether he realizes it or not.

Every once in a while, some event offers a clarifying reminder of the president’s poor judgment. On Wednesday, it was the release of a letter Trump wrote to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The letter itself was an embarrassment, in which Trump, soon after telling Erdogan on the phone that U.S. forces would move out of his way to enable Turkey’s invasion of Syria, tried to walk things back. Sort of. As Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman put it at the Monkey Cage, the president opted for “threatening rhetoric reminiscent of a Mafia boss” to “make loud threats that he may not be able to deliver on.” As soon as the letter was published, professional diplomats and historians said they had never seen something so amateurish from a U.S. president.

But what really underlined Trump’s problem for me wasn’t that he wrote an incompetent letter to follow up on what seems to have been an incompetent phone call. Or that his Syria policy, as my Bloomberg Opinion colleague Eli Lake notes, has resulted in chaos and death. Or that, on a crass political level, he’s managed to alienate his congressional allies just as he needs them most, with House Republicans  voting overwhelmingly on Wednesday to condemn his decision.

No, what really got to me was that Trump distributed copies of this letter to congressional leaders when they showed up at the White House for a briefing. Think of it. Even if the letter had been perfectly normal, what Trump was handing them was an Oct. 9 request to Erdogan to halt his invasion — a request that Erdogan has, as we’ve seen, totally ignored. Trump was bragging about what he considered to be a sign of his own brilliance without realizing that it was instead evidence of abject failure.

This isn’t new, of course. Trump still brags about how the 2018 election was a glorious victory for Republicans (it wasn’t). He brags that a published summary of his call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy cleared him of wrongdoing (it incriminated him). And on and on. The thing is, it’s possible for others within the political system to deal with a liar. But how do you deal with a president who can’t tell the difference between victories and losses? Someone for whom normal incentives don’t apply because he doesn’t seem to realize when things are going badly?

Dodgy Bookkeeping Is a Trump Family Tradition

The latest revelations of questionable accounting echo the Trump Organization’s past practices.

Timothy L. Obrien | October 16, 2019, 1:15 PM EDT | Bloomberg | Posted October 18, 2019 |

Thanks to some inspired digging from ProPublica reporter Heather Vogell, it appears the Trump Organization has been massaging reported profits, expenses and occupancy rates at a pair of its Manhattan properties to make them look robust to lenders, but much less so to authorities who assess property taxes.If this means that President Donald Trump’s company keeps two sets of books, it may be an attempt to secure lower interest rates on borrowings while keeping tax expenses down. A dozen real estate experts Vogell contacted couldn’t explain “multiple inconsistencies” in Trump Organization documents she showed them. The variations are “versions of fraud,” Nancy Wallace, a finance and real estate professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California-Berkeley, told Vogell. “This kind of stuff is not OK.”No, it’s not. It may amount to the same kind of financial fraud that sent two former Trump advisers, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, to prison. Cohen, in congressional testimony in February, accused Trump of falsifying records he provided to banks in 2011, 2012 and 2013.“It was my experience that Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce to real estate taxes,” Cohen said, essentially portraying the president as a serial grifter.The problems Vogell uncovered pertain to two signature Trump properties in Manhattan — 40 Wall Street and Trump International Hotel and Tower — and involve transactions and records she examined dated from 2012 to 2018. The Trump Organization, its lawyers and its accountants declined to respond on the record to Vogell’s detailed questions about the irregularities.The Trump Organization has been at this game for a long time. When I interviewed its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, in 2005 for a biography I wrote, “TrumpNation,” he told me that Trump valued 40 Wall Street at $400 million — at a time when it was assessed for property tax purposes at only $90 million.Trump unsuccessfully sued me in 2006 for libel, arguing that “TrumpNation” damaged his reputation by including unflattering assessments of his business record and unfair speculation that he had spent decades inflating his wealth. Trump lost the suit in 2011, and during the litigation was forced to turn over his tax returns to my lawyers.Fred Trump, the president’s father, taught his son the art of dodging assessments, taxes and record keeping.In 1954, Fred was called before the Senate to testify about overcharging the federal government millions of dollars by inflating costs associated with a taxpayer-subsidized, Trump-owned housing development in Brooklyn. The government then banned Fred from bidding on federal housing contracts — the foundation for his family’s wealth. So he turned to state-subsidized developments. By 1966, a New York investigations board called him into embarrassing public hearings to explore how he had overbilled the state for equipment and other costs. Although he was never charged with wrongdoing, those hearings marked the end of Fred’s career as a major developer of publicly subsidized housing.A devastating account of the Trump family’s finances and tax maneuvers that the New York Times published in 2018 revealed that Fred and his wife, Mary, structured their estate and the income it generated in ways both illegal and dubious. They ultimately transferred “over $1 billion in wealth to their children, which could have produced a tax bill of at least $550 million under the 55 percent tax rate then imposed on gifts and inheritances,” the Times reported. Instead, the Trumps paid $52.2 million in taxes, a rate of about 5%.

The Times also reported that Trump “received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father’s real estate empire.” It added that those riches flowed more fully due to “dubious tax schemes [Trump] participated in during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud.” The Trumps did this, in part, by “grossly undervaluing” the properties they intended to pass on to their children. (A lawyer for Trump told the Times that the president, his parents and his siblings relied on outside advisers for tax planning purposes and that nothing they did was fraudulent.)Weisselberg was Fred’s accountant as well as Donald’s CFO, and he has an intimate familiarity with the details of all of this. He cooperated with federal prosecutors in their investigation of Cohen’s dealings, and Vogell’s reporting is bound to renew interest in him. Vogell noted that Weisselberg’s son, Jack, was an executive at Ladder Capital, an institution that loaned money to Trump for 40 Wall Street.The Manhattan district attorney’s office is currently battling Trump and the U.S. Justice Department for access to the president’s tax records as part of a criminal fraud investigation. Congressional committees have also subpoenaed Trump for his tax records, one of many requests he has refused to comply with. Vogell has given prosecutors and legislators more ammunition. As she observes in her ProPublica article, “New York City’s property tax forms state that the person signing them ‘affirms the truth of the statements made’ and that ‘false filings are subject to all applicable civil and criminal penalties.’”Those battles are playing out, of course, amid an impeachment inquiry that has put the president in a tight corner in Washington. Given how investigations are proceeding around his businesses, he’s unlikely to find much wiggle room in New York, either.

Brother: Las Vegas Gunman Was Wealthy Real-Estate Investor

https://storage.googleapis.com/afs-prod/media/media:7ab53abf86734a14969909cc2d7c8d5e/576.mp4

MESQUITE, Nev. — Stephen Paddock lived in a tidy Nevada retirement community where the amenities include golf, tennis and bocce. He was a multimillionaire real-estate investor, recently shipped his 90-year-old mother a walker and liked to travel to Las Vegas to play high-stakes video poker.

Nothing in his background suggests why he would have been on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino with at least 17 guns on Sunday night, raining an unparalleled slaughter upon an outdoor country music festival below.

“I can’t even make something up,” his bewildered brother, Eric Paddock, told reporters Monday. “There’s just nothing.”

At least 58 people were killed and more than 500 injured in Paddock’s attack on the Route 91 Harvest Festival, where country music star Jason Aldean was performing for more than 22,000 fans. It was the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The 64-year-old gunman killed himself in the hotel room before authorities arrived.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility, without offering evidence, but Aaron Rouse, the FBI agent in charge in Las Vegas, said investigators saw no connection to international terrorism.

Asked about a potential motive, Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said he could not “get into the mind of a psychopath at this point.”

The brother of the gunman in the mass shooting Sunday night at a music concert in Las Vegas said there’s no logic to explain the shooting. Eric Paddock said his brother played video poker to “stay at home in the casino.″ (Oct. 2)

Public records offered no hint of financial distress or criminal history. Eric Paddock, who spoke with reporters outside his home near Orlando, Florida, said even if his brother had been in financial trouble, the family could have bailed him out.

“No affiliation, no religion, no politics. He never cared about any of that stuff,” Eric Paddock said as he alternately wept and shouted. “He was a guy who had money. He went on cruises and gambled.”

Stephen Paddock, who had worked previously as an accountant, was “not an avid gun guy at all,” though he had a couple of handguns and a long gun, he said.

Eric Paddock also told The Associated Press that he had not talked to his brother in six months and last heard from him when Stephen checked in briefly by text message after Hurricane Irma.

Their mother spoke with him about two weeks ago, and when he found out recently that she needed a walker, he sent her one, Eric Paddock said.

“She’s completely in shock,” he said.

Eric Paddock recalled receiving a recent text from his brother showing “a picture that he won $40,000 on a slot machine. But that’s the way he played.”

He described his brother as a multimillionaire and said they had business dealings and owned property together. He said he was not aware that his brother had gambling debts.

“He had substantial wealth. He’d tell me when he’d win. He’d grouse when he’d lost. He never said he’d lost four million dollars or something. I think he would have told me.”

Heavily armed police searched Paddock’s home Monday in Mesquite, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas near the Arizona border, looking for clues. Paddock lived there with his 62-year-old girlfriend, who authorities said was out of the country when the shooting happened. Eric Paddock described her as kindly and said she sometimes sent cookies to his mother.

Police also searched a two-bedroom home Paddock owned in a retirement community in Reno, 500 miles from Mesquite.

While Stephen Paddock appeared to have no criminal history, his father was a notorious bank robber, Eric Paddock confirmed to The Orlando Sentinel. Benjamin Hoskins Paddock tried to run down an FBI agent with his car in Las Vegas in 1960 and wound up on the agency’s most wanted list after escaping from a federal prison in Texas in 1968, when Stephen Paddock was a teen.

The oldest of four children, Paddock was 7 when his father was arrested for the robberies. A neighbor, Eva Price, took him swimming while FBI agents searched the family home.

She told the Tucson Citizen at the time: “We’re trying to keep Steve from knowing his father is held as a bank robber. I hardly know the family, but Steve is a nice boy. It’s a terrible thing.”

An FBI poster issued after the escape said Benjamin Hoskins Paddock had been “diagnosed as psychopathic” and should be considered “armed and very dangerous.” He’d been serving a 20-year sentence for a string of bank robberies in Phoenix.

The elder Paddock remained on the lam for nearly a decade, living under an assumed name in Oregon. Investigators found him in 1978 after he attracted publicity for opening the state’s first licensed bingo parlor. He died in 1998.

Stephen Paddock bought his one-story, three-bedroom home in a newly built Mesquite subdivision for $369,000, in 2015, property records show. Past court filings and recorded deeds in California and Texas suggest he co-owned rental property.

He previously lived in another Mesquite — the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, Texas — from 2004 to 2012, according to Mesquite, Texas, police Lt. Brian Parrish. Paddock owned at least three separate rental properties, Parrish said, and there was no indication the police department had any contact with him over that time, Parrish said.

He has been divorced at least twice, including marriages that ended in 1980 and 1990. One of the ex-wives lives in Southern California, where a large gathering of reporters congregated in her neighborhood. Los Angeles police Sgt. Cort Bishop said she did not want to speak with journalists. He relayed that the two had not been in contact for a long time and did not have children.

According to federal aviation records, Paddock was issued a private pilot’s license in November 2003. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game said he obtained three-day, nonresident fishing licenses in 2009 and 2010.

In 2012, Paddock sued the Cosmopolitan Hotel & Resorts in Nevada, saying he slipped and fell on a wet floor there. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed by a judge and settled by arbitration.

Reached by telephone, Paddock’s lawyer at the time, Jared R. Richards, said he could not comment because of client confidentiality concerns.

Paddock kept a vacation home in Heritage Isle, a gated retirement community in Viera, Florida, from 2013 to 2015, said Don Judy, his neighbor there. Judy said gambling, online and in person, was how Paddock claimed to make his living. One time, he said, Paddock showed Judy’s wife his laptop as evidence that he had won $20,000 in an online game.

“He never gave me any indication that he was strapped for money or needing money,” Judy said. “He said he was a gambler by trade, a speculator.”

Judy described Paddock as “a real nice guy” who typically dressed in a polo shirt and shorts and didn’t stand out among other part-time residents.

“The second time I met him, he pulled out his keys and he gave me his house key,” Judy said.

When Paddock was away, Judy said, he would bring in his mail and the newspaper and walk through the house to make sure the air conditioning was working and that there wasn’t any flood damage after storms.

“He would call me every so often to ask if everything was OK with the house. Just so ordinary. ... There’s nothing to profile this guy by.”
