Sacramento Orthopedic Surgeon Finds Damage To Car Accident Victim, Part 7 of 8

(Please note: the names and locations of all parties have been changed to protect the confidentiality of the participants in this car accident and personal injury case and its proceedings.)

It was plaintiff’s counsel — the XYZ firm, and particularly Ms. Brown — whose sole efforts led to the successful settlement of this action for defendants’ automobile policy limits.

It was the XYZ firm that did all of the discovery in the case; it was the XYZ firm that collected and subpoenaed all the medical records and other records dealing with liability and damages issues. It was the XYZ firm that interviewed witnesses; and it was the XYZ firm who took depositions of key witnesses and defended the depositions taken by defendants’ counsel. It was the XYZ firm that calculated Mr. Black’s past and future lost wages as well as medical expenses, further ensuring that all of his medical expenses were accounted for in the damages calculations.

It was the XYZ firm that arranged the mediation, and filed a mediation brief that laid out all the factual detail supporting Mr. Black’s claims regarding defendants’ liability for the collision and for Mr. Black’s damages. It was the XYZ firm that rehabilitated the testimony of Dr. Lee regarding the need for future surgery for Mr. Black, based on medical evidence that firm had collected and which Ms. Brown presented to Dr. Lee during his deposition. It was the XYZ firm that made the section 998 demand before White ever even intervened in the case, and it was that demand that the defendants, following and as a result of all the work the XYZ firm had done, accepted.

White did none of this work. In this situation, White ‘s participation was nominal and its lien must be reduced by the attorney’s fees and costs incurred by plaintiff and his counsel in litigating this case to a successful conclusion. (See Part 8 of 8.)
