END OF FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS 150 150 Lauren Ellerman

END OF FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS

Last night Virginia elected a new Governor. Bob McDonnell said during his acceptance speech he would put an end to frivolous litigation. Bob, an attorney, and our past Attorney General in Virginia, should know better. Fact: There’s an epidemic of medical negligence, not lawsuits. According to the AAJ, only one in eight people injured by…

NASTY GRAM #1 – LETTER FROM MANAGEMENT 150 150 Lauren Ellerman

NASTY GRAM #1 – LETTER FROM MANAGEMENT

Nice letter. Is it legal to do that in Virginia? Yes, probably. Is it ethical? I would say no. As an employee, do you have options? Yes, probably. Can our firm review a non-compete agreement with less than 1 day notice? Most days that we are not in Court, one of us is available to…

NURSING HOME CHAIN REPORTS BETTER THAN EXPECTED PROFITS

I know I sure was worried about the profitability of Kindred Healthcare, one of the largest nursing home chains in America.

A year earlier the company lost $21.3 million, or 55 cents per share.…

SCARY THOUGHT 150 150 Lauren Ellerman

SCARY THOUGHT

Forget chain saws and evil spirits. You know what really scares me? A badly written non-compete agreement. You know the type.

VIRGINIA RIGHT TO WORK STATE

I heard it again yesterday. PROSPECTIVE CLIENT: “They can’t fire me for refusing to sign a non-compete agreement. Virginia is a Right to work state.” Hmm. ME: “Sir, the phrase Right to work is one of the most mis-understood cliches in the Commonwealth. It does not actually mean you have a right to work, or…

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE COMPANIES GOING BROKE…NOT

I know you have read the stories in your local newspaper. Medical malpractice lawsuits are driving doctors away as the result of outrageous jury awards in frivolous lawsuits. The doctors, and their insurance carriers, tell their state and national representatives that laws must be passed to stop this outrageous tragedy. This is a bunch of…
