Utah Injury Law Blog

Salt Lake City, UT -- Eisenberg Gilchrist & Morton (EGM) is pleased to announce the debut of the EGM Edge Series – a revealing tutorial into the success of our approach to maximizing recovery on catastrophic injury cases.

The first installment of the EGM Edge Series, “Myth, Math and Money: A Modern Approach to Economic Damages in Catastrophic Injury Cases” will be presented May 15 from Noon to 1 p.m. in conjunction with the Park City Bar at the Silver Summit Court in the Jury Assembly Room, 6300 N. Silver Creek Rd., Park City.

The concepts behind “Myth, Math and Money” were created and honed by Jeffrey D. Eisenberg, managing partner and co-founder of EGM and EGM shareholder David A Cutt.

“Myth, Math and Money” will change the way you look at catastrophic injury cases. You will learn:
• What really strikes fear into the heart of defense lawyers
• How to debunk the myths of general damages
• How to argue for “worst case” numbers without overreaching
• How math affects the money
• What it will cost you to try a damages case
• How to look past general damages to economic loss

In 2006, EGM obtained more than $20 million in verdicts and settlements for our clients – including Utah’s largest personal injury verdict: $16.4 million to a boy whose parents were killed in the same automobile crash that rendered the boy permanently brain injured.

“Myth, Math and Money” has been published in the Utah Trial Journal and presented at the 2007 Brain Injury Conference in Salt Lake City.

“Myth, Math and Money” is available for presentation to any organization interested in maximizing recoveries on large contingency fee cases, or any firm seeking co-counsel on such a case.

Watch for upcoming segments of the EGM Edge Series on related subjects in June and August.

Salt Lake City, Utah – S. Brook Millard, shareholder at Eisenberg Gilchrist & Morton (EGM), will speak May 23, 2007 at the National Business Institute’s “Art of the Settlement” seminar.

Mr. Millard’s presentation, “Using Mediation When Settlements Don’t Work”, addresses the topics of when to consider mediation, effective mediation preparation, stages in the mediation process, and how to bring mediation to a successful conclusion.

“In my opinion, mediation is the tool to use in settling cases,” said Mr. Millard. “Failure to mediate is a mistake economically for both you and your client.”

Based on his own successful experiences with mediation, Mr. Millard’s presentation illustrates how mediation allows an independent third party to tell you, your client and the opposing side the good and bad points of the case and allows all parties involved to be more realistic about the actual value of the case.

Mr. Millard is a shareholder at EGM and an associate attorney with the law firm of Brayton Purcell. His practice focuses on the areas of catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, professional liability, products liability and asbestos litigation. He has previously lectured for National Business Institute and elsewhere on the subjects of
