Loss in Injury and Death Matters
In litigation, the analysis of damages ' what was lost as the result of the tort or breach ' often takes a back seat to the analysis of various facets of liability. This can be particularly true in medical malpractice matters, where liability issues tend to be complex. Much time and effort is invested in determining fault, while damages analysis is too often left until the last minute.
However, careful attention to all the elements of economic loss, and careful discovery on damages, is essential in ensuring a fair recovery that compensates the plaintiff for what was actually lost. A thorough analysis will help to uncover elements of damages that might be overlooked and can also highlight elements in a claim that might overstate loss. By engaging in damages discovery early and by considering each element of loss to each plaintiff, each side can be fairly certain that the damages case will be accurate and compelling when presented in settlement negotiations and at trial.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
