FLORIDA LAW FIRM FUTURE WEB SITE RULES SPARK ARGUMENTS FROM FLORIDA LAW FIRMS

As per a writing within the Florida Bar news, Eight main law firms “protested the recently proposed Supreme Court rules for web advertising in a 66-page comment to the court submitted just before the August 16 deadline.”

The Florida law firms that complained included Foley & Lardner, White & Case, Holland & Knight, and Carlton Fields. Many Florida law firms dislike the projected rules, because they’d confine a Florida law firm or Florida lawyer from having online testimonials, case summaries, and certain audio and visual content.

Rule 4-7.6 was submitted from the Florida Bar towards the Florida Supreme Court in June on the direction within the court after the court issued an order stating that all of the substantive lawyer advertising rules will be applicable to Florida Law websites. The court’s order signifies that Florida law firm internet sites cannot use past results, testimonials, and statements that characterize the quality of legal services. The proposed amendments would allow testimonials, past results, and other information in separate sections on Florida law firm websites.

The Florida Bar News says that these guidelines could involve entire overhauls of some Florida law firm web sites and re-programming of others, updates that law firms believed might cost millions of dollars for larger establishments.

Observations were also submitted by other Florida attorneys as well as the American Civil Liberties Union. One Florida lawyer said the anticipated set of laws had been too lenient.
Some dispute that Florida residents browsing the world wide web and looking out for lawful information from Florida law firms will be drawn to the greater attractive and easy to get to web sites offered through the non-Florida law firms, bypassing the very firms that Florida regulates.

Website ruling poses First Amendment considerations and can be a complex issue in the Florida Bar. Following an intensive study through the Florida Bar on Florida law firm web sites, the Florida Bar suggested into the court that the home page of Florida law firm web pages be subject to all marketing rules, understanding that the remainder of Florida lawyer websites be subject to qualify for the substantive marketing rules with definite three exceptions.

The Florida Supreme court rejected that move toward and ruled that Florida law firm online resources are subject to the final advertising rules contained in Bar Rule 4-7.2. Rule 4-7.2 prohibits Florida Lawyers from using testimonials, bearing on past results, or characterizing the quality of these legal services, which is often presented on Florida law firm internet sites.

I have just read a book called The 10 Keys to Create Wealth to fulfill your lifes purposes. I paid special attention to the chapter talking about The Law of Reciprocity. I kept thinking; what does that mean? It is simply this: If you want to prosper in all areas of your life then you must give back to the community by offering a valued benefit for those you around you.
Ok, what does she mean? What I mean is this. If you want to succeed in life you have to give back. It is the unwritten law of nature. God speaks of this in his word. Give and it will be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you
Let me give you some examples:
A man I would like to meet, but have not yet is Michael Ellison who is the author of The 10 Keys to Create Wealth to fulfill your lifes purpose, is the classic example of a man using The Law of Reciprocity . He has achieved greatness in his family, friends, wealth and health by using this formula. He believes that by offering a wellness program to the community and by serving God at the same time he is giving something of value that benefits his clients. We all want to be healthy and gain financial wealth, dont we? I know I do. Now my thought is; how do we achieve this? For what gain is there to have wealth and no health. What do you profit if you spend your days wealthy and sick and no one to share your wealth with?
**Give something of Value and let it be a benefit to mankind**
Wealth is what you determine it to be. Some call it money in the bank, others call it having family, friends, a relationship with God, etc I say it can be that but can also include the wealth of prospering others in all walks of life by being a blessing to them and solving a problem for them.
If you were walking down the street and found a man injured on the road would you take the time to help him? The fact is that in this day and age most of us would call 911 or the police. The Law of Reciprocity is a different approach. Go to the injured man and assess his condition, talk to him to bring him comfort and to let him know you are there to help him, call the appropriate help, stay with him until help arrives, ask him if you can pray with him or if there is another way you can help him. Call his family, his friend or clergy. Do you see the difference here? You gave him something of value. It was not monetarily given but given from a human aspect. You put yourself out there. Now in 5 years when he tells this story to his friends or family do you think he will remember your kindness? Will he remember you? What will his thought be? I think it will be something like this.You know, I will never forget how sweet she was to help me and comfort me, she even offered to call people for me and to pray with me. Do you see here how that will stay with that person? You can do it the easy way, but will they remember? Most definitely not!
I would recommend this book to anyone for this chapter all by itself however there are many golden nuggets through out the entire book. I am glad you took the time to read my article and let me leave you this final thought.
We determine and choose in life our success and our failure. What will your choice be? Mine will be success in every aspect of my life by applying The Law of Reciprocity!

What is the New York State “No-Fault” law?

Insurance companies seem to have the attitude that everyone exaggerates or fakes pain. In thousands of negotiations with insurance companies, I’ve heard them “poo-poo” clients’ complaints of pain. Pain alone won’t carry the day, either for settlement, or in court.

Learn why by reading on.

What do we mean by “No-Fault”?

Put simply, No-Fault refers to having your accident-related medical bills paid, up to $50,000, regardless of whose fault the accident is.

Two different things happen after a car accident. First: No-Fault insurance pays your medical bills and lost wages, except in certain instances involving buses, motorcycles and heavy trucks. No-Fault also protects pedestrians and bicycle riders. Second: This should not be confused with issues of liability in an accident, which are very much about who is at fault, and the focus of the second thing that may happen: a lawsuit. Let’s learn about No-Fault insurance and how it impacts your automobile accident case.

New York’s No-Fault law was enacted on December 1, 1977 and is found at Article 51 of New York State’s Insurance Law. Before the No-Fault statute, an accident victim could sue for any kind of injury and often did. The insurance industry wanted to cut down on the small strain and sprain cases that were flooding the courthouses and, hopefully, reduce auto insurance premiums, so it proposed a trade. Smaller cases would not be allowed to recover money damages, and in exchange, the insurance companies would pay medical bills for those injured in a car accident, regardless of fault – even if the injured person caused the accident. This may sound simple, but it is anything but.

The goal of the No-Fault law is to compensate for “basic economic loss” by paying medical bills and lost wages. Under No-Fault, in order to sustain a lawsuit for pain and suffering and such, you need what the No-Fault statute calls a “serious injury.” “Serious injury” is rather an unfortunate phrase as it implies a greater level of injury than required. One lawyer-commentator has said that it would have been far better for accident victims if the statute referred to a “qualifying injury” instead of a “serious injury.” The serious injury requirement is intended to keep smaller cases out of court, and is referred to as the No-Fault “threshold.” Frequently, it is used by insurance companies to keep deserving cases out of court, and lawyers not thoroughly familiar with the ins and outs of the No-Fault threshold can lose these cases, even when they shouldn’t.

You should not be surprised if I tell you that insurance companies are cheap with No-Fault insurance benefits: even though No-Fault benefits are supposed to help the injured person, and the injured person is less able to bring a court case because of the No-Fault law.

In many cases, the insurance companies nit-pick the amount of doctors’ bills submitted under the No-Fault law or refuse to pay them for no good reason. The insurance carriers may send out an accident victim’s medical records for “peer review,” where a doctor that has never examined or even met the injured person recommends denying treatment as “unnecessary.” Insurance companies are also quick to cancel No-Fault insurance benefits, which they are permitted to do after they hire a physician to examine the accident victim, if that physician finds that continued treatment would not benefit the accident victim. Would it shock you to learn that these physicians, paid by the insurance carriers, overwhelmingly find that further treatment is unnecessary and/or that the injured person is able to return to work, thus justifying the discontinuance of No-Fault insurance benefits? Ironically, these insurance carrier-sponsored physicals are called “Independent Medical Examinations” – they are certainly not “independent.”
