According to the terms…

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.

Here is a must read from Salon.com…written by a doctor. He simply explains how limiting the damages you might collect in a medical malpractice case will NOT lower the costs you…

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.

MEDICAL ERROR – YOU MAY NEED A VIRGINIA LAWYER

To err is human.. Or so I have heard. And I am sure if you ask my husband, I have made a few major mistakes, today alone. But what happens when someone is hurt by a mistake? And I mean, really injured? We see it in car accident cases, civil suits against financial advisers that…

THEY CAN’T SUE ME FOR THIS…CAN THEY?

We get this question a lot…especially when a former employee signed a non-compete agreement but it now “competing” with his/her old employer! Want an example of an actual case in Virginia? A pending case in the Fairfax County Circuit Court provides the details. The case, Virginia Academy of Fencing, Inc. v. Sintchinov, provides the typical…
