Brain Injuries Caused in the Workplace

Todd P. Emanuel May 16, 2016 Leave a Comment

If an injury happens at work it is possible that Worker’s Compensation is the exclusive remedy for our client.

How can an injured motorcyclist overcome negative biases? 

Todd P. Emanuel May 14, 2016 Leave a Comment

Demonstrate that she is a safe driver and a genuine, honest person.  We do this by asking our client why she rides a motorcycle.  Inevitably, there are reasons that almost anyone can appreciate (fuel economy, freedom, efficiency, convenience).  If our client regularly maintains the motorcycle, wears safe protective gear, and… CONTINUE

If prospective jurors ride motorcycles themselves, are you more likely to keep them on the jury?

Todd P. Emanuel May 8, 2016 Leave a Comment

Generally, the answer is yes. But, some prospective jurors who ride motorcycles themselves believe that motorcyclists knowingly assume a much greater risk of serious injury than operators of motor vehicles, so their damages should be diminished.   I can’t assume that all motorcyclists will empathize with my client.  To be safe,… CONTINUE

Jury Selection for Motorcycle Injury Cases

Todd P. Emanuel May 4, 2016 Leave a Comment

Motorcycle Accidents: Unique Challenges In Litigating Motorcycles Cases

Todd P. Emanuel May 1, 2016 Leave a Comment

Insurance claims adjusters, defense lawyers, judges and juries may be biased against motorcyclists.  Should the damages awarded to a victim be diminished because he/she was injured on a motorcycle rather than in a car or on a dangerous business premises?  Of course not.  But we need to make sure we… CONTINUE
