Testimonials

• Brian, your book is a "what to do, and what not to do" guide.  Your book was a real eye-opener.  My company turned on me as soon as they realized I was seriously injured.  If I had read your book sooner, I would have avoided a lot of costly mistakes.  They really have a "bag" of tricks waiting on an injured worker.  I found everything in your book to be true.  These companies have a "kennel of pit bull attorneys" who attack injured workers legally, and use every trick in the book to keep from paying medical bills.  Captain Jim VickersMississippi

What is comparative negligence?

A: “Comparative negligence” is a legal doctrine that awards an injured party damages based upon the amount of negligence. It weighs into account the negligent conduct of both the injured worker and the employer. For example, if the jury awards $500,000 in damages and a worker is found to be 25% negligent, he or she will receive $375,000 plus costs. This differs from most state laws which find that an injured party must be found to be at least 51% responsible in order to receive any damages.
