Patrick Hindert over at his blog Beyond Structured Settlements has an interesting post that lists some recommended articles and resources relating to personal injury settlement planning. Among these are:
– Getting To Yes: Helping Reluctant Clients See The Benefits Of Settlement, Elaine McArdle, Lawyers Weekly USA (11/2004) offers up tips on bringing clients around to settlement. As the article discusses, some clients simply need time to accept that settlement might be optimal; for others, an explanation of financial benefits or talk with an impartial third party like a mediator or another lawyer may work.
— Database of judicial decisions on expert testimony, available at reasonable prices, via the “Daubert Tracker” at mdexonline.com .
— CrossExam.com database to review an expert’s deposition transcripts from prior litigation.
