		<description><![CDATA[A few days after Superstorm Sandy struck New York City and knocked out power, a college student attempted to cross a downtown Manhattan intersection where the traffic lights were not working. A car failed to stop or even yield at the intersection and stuck him, breaking his leg. The young man’s parents contacted the Schlitt Law Firm and Carol L. Schlitt to represent their son. The case required working with three insurance companies and we reached a settlement that made both the young man and his parents happy and provided a big financial boost for his college education. Or as the young man's father put it, "Great news."<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nylawthoughts.com&#038;blog=12362478&#038;post=1465&#038;subd=newyorklawthoughts&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our client, a driver for a laboratory company, was waiting at a traffic light when another driver fell asleep, crossed over a double yellow line and struck his car head-on. The man retained Carol L. Schlitt of the Schlitt Law Firm to represent him in an effort to win compensation for his injuries. When the insurance company for the other driver held firm at a settlement offer that our client and we considered too low, we filed a lawsuit. Confronted with the lawsuit, the insurance company agreed to settle for more than two and a half times their previous “best and final offer.” Our client responded by saying, “Thank you for the amazing work you have done on my behalf. I am satisfied and will recommend you highly to all my friends and family.”<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nylawthoughts.com&#038;blog=12362478&#038;post=1463&#038;subd=newyorklawthoughts&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As soon as a personal injury case settles, clients want to know, “when will I be paid?” We answer our clients with a Case Closing Report that provides a timeline on when a client will be paid and exactly how much. In general, once a case settles a client will receive his or her check within about a month. However, we make a commitment to move our cases as fast as possible and usually are able to deliver the check to a client in less than a month, often in less than three weeks. I want to review the standard settlement payment timeline and then discuss our efforts to deliver money to our clients even faster.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nylawthoughts.com&#038;blog=12362478&#038;post=1461&#038;subd=newyorklawthoughts&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have developed a series of key personal injury case reports designed to ensure the most thorough development of the case, the education of our clients about all aspects of their cases and the value of their cases and the presentation of a forceful settlement demand that leads to fast and full value settlements. There are three key documents in this process: the Investigative Report, the Case Assessment and the Settlement Proposal. We want to take a closer look at our Settlement Proposal which sets the stage for successful negotiation of a personal injury case. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nylawthoughts.com&#038;blog=12362478&#038;post=1450&#038;subd=newyorklawthoughts&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The good personal injury attorney will use all three depending on what will best serve a client and case. Here is a primer on these three tools of the trade. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nylawthoughts.com&#038;blog=12362478&#038;post=1448&#038;subd=newyorklawthoughts&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
