		<description><![CDATA[I have written before about how important it is to obtain legal advice before negotiating a settlement of a personal injury claim with an insurance company. All you want is fair compensation.  I define “fair compensation” as the amount of financial compensation a court would require the insurance company to pay to compensate you for your injuries and other losses.&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/achieving-fair-compensation-from-an-insurance-company/">(more...)</a>]]></description>

A medication error that could have been fatal; a dangerous situation that could have seriously injured a child; reckless driving that could have, but didn’t cause a crash. It is typically an incredibly angry and upset family member who calls me.  The feelings are understandable.  I would be angry&#8230; <a href="http://www.paulhergott.com/should-the-law-be-changed-to-allow-for-near-tragedies/">(more...)</a>]]></description>
