Another Way Recession Affects Personal Injury Cases (Courthouse Closes Doors)

I’ve previously described how this particular recession may affect personal injury lawsuits, which are generally perceived to be recession proof given since folks get hurt regardless of how the economy is doing.

But problems in a severe one can come up be due to insurance companies going belly-up and forcing delays as the suits get managed by the State Liquidation Bureau. Or there can be problems financing the cases if credit lines dry up.

Now a third reason: Cash-strapped New Hampshire is suspending jury trials and leaving judgeships vacant.

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog is sponsored by its creator, Eric Turkewitz of The Turkewitz Law Firm. The blog might be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.) As of July 14, 2008, Law.com became an advertiser, as you can see in the sidebar. Law.com does not control the editorial content of the blog in any way.

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.

Finally, we are not responsible for the comments of others that may be added to this site.
