Dispelling the Myth: Personal Injury Cases and the Truth About Trials 💡🔍 Myth: Personal Injury Cases Inevitably Lead to Trial Fact: Contrary to popular belief, the majority of personal injury cases are resolved without ever setting foot inside a courtroom. In reality, only a small fraction of cases proceed to trial, with most being settled through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. Here's the TRUTHs behind the myth: 1️⃣ **Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness:** Trials can be lengthy, complex, and costly endeavors for both parties involved. Recognizing this, many plaintiffs and defendants opt for alternative dispute resolution methods to reach a resolution more efficiently and economically. 2️⃣ **Risk Mitigation:** Trials inherently carry risks for both sides. Even with a strong case, outcomes can be uncertain, influenced by various factors such as jury composition, judicial interpretation, or unforeseen developments during proceedings. Settlements offer a degree of control and predictability that trials often lack. 3️⃣ **Preserving Relationships:** In cases where the parties have ongoing or potential future relationships, such as in workplace accidents or medical malpractice claims, settling out of court can help preserve these relationships by avoiding contentious litigation and fostering amicable resolutions. 4️⃣ **Privacy and Confidentiality:** Settlements afford parties greater privacy and confidentiality compared to public trials, allowing them to protect sensitive information, proprietary details, or personal matters from becoming public record. 5️⃣ **Focusing on Recovery:** For plaintiffs, the primary goal of a personal injury case is often to secure fair compensation for damages and injuries suffered. Resolving the matter outside of court enables them to focus on their recovery and rehabilitation without the added stress and uncertainty of trial proceedings. While trials certainly have their time and place, it's essential to dispel the misconception that they are the inevitable outcome of all personal injury cases. By understanding the array of options available and working closely with experienced legal counsel, parties can navigate the legal process effectively and achieve satisfactory resolutions without ever stepping foot in a courtroom. At Kelso Law Group, we are committed to guiding our clients through every step of their personal injury journey, whether through negotiation, mediation, or trial if necessary. #PersonalInjuryLaw #LegalMyths #AlternativeDisputeResolution #ClientEducation #KelsoLawGroup #KelsoLaw #KLG #CallKels

#LawyersofLinkedIn, This Middlesex Law Association (MLA) program features Eden Dales M.S.W., R.S.W., as she gives a presentation on trauma-informed care (TIC), discussing the integration of TIC into legal practice. Eden Dales presents statistics on the prevalence of trauma, and highlights recent court decisions where the bench applied a trauma-informed approach to their ruling. The presenter provides an overview of how to mitigate challenges when dealing with clients who have experienced trauma, emphasizing the core principles of TIC. These include, building trust with clients through transparency, being upfront about billing practices, and considering the impact of cultural, historical, and gender-related issues on clients. Eden Dales underscores that adopting a trauma-informed approach requires ongoing attention, sensitivity, and may necessitate a cultural shift within legal organizations. She recommends changes to the client intake process, including trauma screening, and provides guidance on how to recognize triggers and implement positive solutions to support clients effectively. The presenter explores how clients respond to trauma, and addresses neurodiversity and its relationship to trauma-informed care, including its relevance in areas like personal injury law and calculating medical benefits.

We are pleased to expand our Health & Prosecutions team with the promotion of Fiona McNulty to partner. Brian Horkan, Head of our Health & Prosecutions team, commented: “Fiona's promotion to partner is a clear reflection of her exceptional skill set and dedicated approach to her practice. Her expert handling of complex legal matters further strengthens our team and enhances our ability to deliver innovative, client-focused solutions." Fiona McNulty said: “My work covers two very different client types but with similar needs. I work closely with corporate clients when they receive warrants, witness summons or other similar legal requests. These can be very daunting, especially if they are not familiar with criminal law procedures, so my role is to help clients manage them in an efficient, compliant manner. I also advise clients in the healthcare sector to avoid disputes where possible, but also to prepare and present cases in court when needed.” #MHCLaw #MHCLife #Growth #LegalCareer #TechnologyLaw #HealthcareLaw
