Are you aware of the impact third-party litigation funding and frequent plaintiff attorney advertising can have on your household costs? According to a recent survey by the American Property Casualty Insurance Association and Munich Reinsurance America, most U.S. consumers are not. While 89% of respondents had seen advertisements for plaintiff law firms, more than half were unaware of third-party litigation funding. Additionally, 47% didn’t know a substantial share of jury awards and settlements go to attorneys, not plaintiffs. Most didn’t know about the knock-on effects of frequent and costly litigation, a "tort tax" of $3,621 per household. Did you know this? Were you aware of the tort tax? Leave me a comment below. #StormReport #propertyandcasualty #tortreform

🚨Verdict Alert   Tricia Payne, Pensacola-Hub Partner, and Megan “Maggie” Colter, Tampa-Hub Partner, achieved a significant victory for our client by securing dismissal in the initial case through thorough discovery and presentation of compelling evidence that refuted multiple claims. This resulted in obtaining dispositive relief and a summary judgment, ultimately saving our client a substantial amount of money and preempting the need for a jury trial. Despite the plaintiff's appeal of the initial decision, Tricia maintained her focus and enlisted Maggie to assist in drafting the appeal and navigating the case. Drawing upon their rich history in tort, specifically premises liability, they presented a strong case from the start achieving a summary judgment that eventually led to a successful outcome in a subsequent appeal.   At QPWB, we not only represent the truth, but we advocate for it, always ready to challenge and diligently pursue justice. Tricia and Maggie's proven determination and ability to navigate and succeed in complex legal battles showcase their rich history in premise liability. They not only expose and challenge biases within the legal system but also ensure a just outcome despite initial obstacles, making a meaningful difference in favor of our clients and setting a precedent that protects their pursuit of justice.    Read the full posting on our site to discover how the QPWB difference can make a significant impact on complex cases in premise liability and beyond.   Read the Full Verdict Alert here: https://lnkd.in/gZd5huDY   Learn more about Tricia Payne here: https://lnkd.in/ge48wtzJ Learn more about Maggie Colter here: https://lnkd.in/eMWhCtQC   #QPWBdifferent #QPWBattorney #LegalVictory #AppealVerdict #JuryVerdict #LegalInnovation

Efficiency for claimants is what's driving the mass tort trend, but if judges are shutting them down, is it really worth it? I'd love to hear your thoughts in comments below about how to best deliver quick results to legitimate claims while still working within the system as it exists today. #MassTort #LegalCaseStudies

When taking in a new case, one of the most important things to consider is whether there are any damages and, if so, how much. If you're a Plaintiff, this is relevant because the amount of damages may not be more than the ultimate cost of bringing the suit. Plaintiffs need to understand this to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the litigation. If you're a Defendant, damages are relevant because if a Plaintiff has not suffered any, then the Plaintiff may not be able to sustain their claim. This is because damages are usually an element of a claim. If a Plaintiff must establish damages for a particular claim but hasn't, then a Defendant is entitled to file a motion to dismiss the claim. - Catherine Pastrikos Kelly https://lnkd.in/ekH4VStn #businesslitigation #attorney #damages
