Mr. WEO

Bolded is not true. If an insurer is not making an offer, they believe they have a strong, defendable case and they absolutely want to go to trial as the odds overwhelmingly favor a verdict for the defendant. This was covered upthread. The defendant has no say in the settlement negotiations--his/her insurer makes all of those decisions. If there is a settlement, the defendant is reported in the national practitioners database. That's always "a loss".

Doesn't look like mediation. Same to you brother! Should be a much better finish to the season than last. Weekend is already busy... What makes you say this? Also, it is the Plaintiff's lawyer that pushes for a settlement. They know that 75% of verdicts find for the defendant. A settlement is always a loss for the Defendant.

come on.... There's no chance whatsoever that Pegula did not know or want Raccuia to say that. If that was true, Pegula would have immediately put a retraction out there.

lol...just standing in solidarity with the OP 12 pages into this ferkakta thread

I mean he was put out there by Pegula as the guy to voice the threat to move to the county and state (and public)during negotiations. Terry was never going to come out and say it. He put his boy out there to deliver the threat, got the deal done and gave him the axe.

He was the team physician, so his credentials weren't in question. Plus, as doc, points out, he had the procedure before by the same guy. I've never seen a consent with the specific amount or type of local to be used listed on it. I bet no settlement was offered. Another big problem with Tyrod's case is an obvious one: "Taylor's attorneys also contend that Gazzaniga's "negligence, carelessness and other tortious, unlawful and wrong acts ... caused [Taylor] to lose position as the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2020 season," just before he was scheduled to become a free agent. "As he returned to free agency," the lawsuit contends, "he entered as a back-up quarterback as opposed to a starting quarterback. The economic difference between a starting quarterback's salary and a back-up quarterback salary is at least $5,000,000 and is more than likely much greater." So he would have to convince the judge that he would have continue to start over the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Also, he entered FA as "a backup", but was singed (for over 5 million) by Houston as their week 1 starter. He was (of course) injured the next week and on IR. He came back, started 4 more games, sucked and was bench for another rookie (Mills). Obviously he was backup caliber, how would he convince a judge otherwise. The guy made 65 million for 53 starts. So he really can't prove damages as lost wages.

I was being facetious. This guy came off as an A+-hole. What was Raccuia supposed to do about that? The deal was worked out with the state already. Even Pegula could understand that stadiums can have massive overruns on costs---yet he already, personally, as the owner of the team and PSE, agreed to whatever they would be (he would also be free to cut back on some of his asks for features and design to save himself on the overruns). Has nothing to do with Don Ron.

It's a non-jury trial. Even if there was a jury, the plaintiff's expert witness would have to conjure up something (or fabricate it) to convince the jury that the defendant didn't act properly during the procedure.

I still can't sleep properly at night, knowing that the entire universe has posted on social media that the Fins are being spoken about literally in the same breath as KC, Buffalo, Cincy...

"He was said to be “obnoxious” and “arrogant” in his business dealing and reportedly turned off NY Gov. Kathy Hochul during negotiations." Really??!! Wow, he sure didn't come off like that! lol

I would imagine all of the evidence came out in discovery. I'm not sure how the plaintiff would prove the procedure was performed recklessly and outside of the standard of care, which is what he has to prove to win the suit. Suffering a known complication that he he was made aware of beforehand isn't in and of itself, evidence of care outside of the standard for this procedure. Reading through the schedule, this was always meant for trial. The Defendant filed several motions for dismissal. They were denied, so orders to proceed to trial were give. Followed by more motions to dismiss. etc. This is gong on until 5/2024. Also, of note, it is looks like it's a non-jury trial. Good luck with that!

more like "what's that thing after the .25?"

More like Hall of One Really Outstanding Season...

the amount or type of local anesthetic given has nothing to do with the complication of the procedure. it was the needle itself

where's Ian rapoport in that link?

yeah the claim is dumb. When there is no settlement, then the insurance company is very confident that they will successfully defend the suit in court. At this point, the odds overwhelmingly favor the Defendant----75% of jury verdicts find for the Defendants. Tyrod's lawyer is stuck with a moron form a client and this will cost that poor sap a ton in unrecovered billable hours.

shocking

will this alter his HOF trajectory?

If it is cutaneous I refer to Derm for Mohs surgery. If it is cyst or lipoma, I would do it other than around nose or mouth (never seen one there).

2000 Ravens D had the eye...the Offense? No one looking at Tony Banks and Tent Dilfer were seeing that...

Turns out "rehab" was hanging out with famously clean living Bruce Smith at his "lakefront villa"... It's a TV show. There's no known causal relationship, let alone "50%". Most have been found to be "pseudolipomas"--subfascial fat that ruptures through fascia due to traumatic injury to the latter. Also, even the study you cited (read it) found that the mean presentation time from trauma to the appearance of these lipomas in questions is 2 years. Dareus said his appeared 1 week after his hit.

I mean you can’t just take a man’s Pink Champale….

No, he’s not a journalist, he’s a columnist. he’s been writing the same articles for 40 years. I guess some readers need a lot of reassurance.

remember when everyone was applauding him for "entering into rehab"? lol

wut?
