Transferred from Grady Hospital in Atlanta after receiving treatment for car crash-related injuries, Elizabeth was admitted to Landmark Hospital with a stable stage 2 sacral ulcer, which quickly escalated to stage 4. The pressure ulcer took a full year to heal, but Elizabeth's activities continue to be limited due to the poor wound care she received. Despite the defense's attempts to blame Landmark's new medical records system, Elizabeth's daughter and even Elizabeth herself for her injuries, a Gwinnett County, Georgia jury returned a verdict of $1,300,000 in damages.    Guest Bio: Richard Mitchell Richard C. Mitchell is a partner with Mitchell & Shapiro LLP. He concentrates on personal injury matters, including medical malpractice, trucking and auto wrecks, and aviation crashes. In December of 2003 and 2014, he was voted by his peers in Georgia Trend magazine as one of Georgia's “Legal Elite” in the personal injury area. From 2003-2019 the readers of Atlanta Magazine voted him a “Georgia Super Lawyer” in personal injury litigation. He is regarded as one of the most experienced personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers in the Atlanta, Georgia area and has received the highest possible professional rating, Martindale-Hubble's AV Preeminent rating, consecutively for 20 years. After clerking for 2 United States District Court judges in Atlanta, Richard C. Mitchell was an associate and partner with the major law firm Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy for over 14 years before leaving to start his own firm in 1997. During that time, he successfully represented numerous manufacturers and insurers in product liability cases, including manufacturers of automobiles, aircraft and aircraft components, forklifts, woodworking machinery, chemicals, conveyor belts, and electric limit switches. He left the large firm in order to concentrate on representing injured individuals. Mr. Mitchell's years of experience defending clients in personal injury cases and working with insurance companies have given him a unique insight into the civil litigation process and an ability to work with defendants to obtain favorable results for his clients. He is a successful veteran of more than 100 trials, arbitrations, and mediations; he, therefore, has the experience and skills to achieve his clients' goals before a judge and jury in the event a settlement cannot be reached.

Mitchell has been a frequent speaker at seminars and the author of chapters in several treatises and legal articles.

In fact, he has recovered millions of dollars and won countless medical procedures in the course of his representation of injured workers and veterans since starting his firm.

He deployed three times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom: twice to Balad Air Base, Iraq and once to Andrews AFB, Maryland. In the course of his decorated military service, he facilitated the aeromedical evacuation of thousands of wounded warriors, and he participated in the Jessica Lynch rescue mission in 2003. He was featured in cover story articles in the Daily Report newspaper after both Iraqi deployments. The three-part “Iraq Diary” article published in October 2003 won national recognition. When not serving his country or his clients, Michael enjoys traveling, writing, and time with his three young children, wife, and dog of questionable lineage. He and his family are active members at Buckhead Church and support several local charities, including Wellspring Living, the Sandy Springs Conservancy, and the Anti-Defamation League; he was selected to the Glass Leadership Institute for the ADL.

Rebecca Zung is one of the Top 1% of attorneys in America, having been recognised by U.S. News & World Report as a “Best Lawyer in America”, as “Legal Elite” by Trend Magazine, and recognised by her peers and the judiciary as AV(c), preeminent rated in family law, the highest possible rating for an attorney by Martindale Hubbell. This week, Rebecca talks to Nick about her new book 'Slay The Bully: How To Negotiate With A Narcissist and Win!', how to spot a narcissist, and more importantly how to win out against them in a negotiation situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Narcissists will always exist, because the traits are eternal. You can't stamp them out, but can learn how to defeat them and their toxicity. It's okay to enrage a narcissist if you have to. Don't ever fear the fury, because it manifests itself in childish ways - exhibitionist ways. Narcissists are adept at finding a way to push through their plans through a third party, thereby excusing themselves from blame and recourse. Narcissists have no empathy for other people, and cannot be cured or healed of this condition. They thrive on narcissist supply - adulation, prestige and possessions. BEST MOMENTS 'If you can learn to stand in your power then nobody can touch you' 'You're dealing with a two year old having a tantrum' 'Narcissists are always at their worst right before they're ready to give up' 'It is a disorder. It cannot be fixed. It cannot be healed' VALUABLE RESOURCES Join Leading Business Owners Scaling Their Companies to Create Generational Wealth, Freedom, and Impact.

This week we're replaying a classic episode where your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Mark Avera of Avera and Smith (https://www.avera.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review   Episode Details: Gainesville, Florida trial lawyer Mark Avera of Avera & Smith explains how he secured justice for Yvonne Wiederhold, the wife of the late Rich Wiederhold, by connecting the actions of one negligent delivery driver in Orlando, Florida to the larger Domino's Pizza corporation through established right-of-control practices. Rich, a retired Brevard County District Fire Chief, strategically swerved and ultimately rolled his truck to avoid crashing into a Domino's delivery car that pulled out in front of him. Rich was rendered a quadriplegic and died 15 months later due to complications. An Orange County, Florida jury returned a verdict of $8,977,788.55 in damages against Domino's Pizza LLC. View/Download Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Mark Avera Like his father before him, Mark Avera has a history of many years of service to the people of Florida. His knowledge and understanding of the legal needs of his clients come not only from the practice of law but from his early career as sheriff's deputy in Alachua County. Before becoming a law partner at Avera & Smith in 1989 (then Avera & Avera), Mark served as a sheriff's deputy for Alachua County. He became the department's youngest deputy ever to be promoted to the rank of Sergeant. His primary assignments were uniform patrol division, SWAT, and the supervision of the department's Street Crimes Unit. Mark completed his bachelor's degree at the University of Florida while working midnight shifts for the Sheriff's Department and went on to graduate from UF with a law degree. Today, Mark serves as Managing Partner for Avera & Smith and works alongside his brother, Lance Avera, who specializes in workers' compensation law, and partner Rod Smith, who specializes in personal injury law. Mark is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law (B.C.S.) by the Florida Bar. He received his initial certification in 1998 and has remained qualified for board certification in civil trial law since that time. Board Certification is the Florida Bar's highest level of evaluation in competence and experience within a specific area of law and indicates superior professionalism and ethics in practice. Only slightly more than 1,000 of the more than 100,000 lawyers currently licensed in the State of Florida are actually Board Certified in Civil Trial Law. During his career, Mark's professionalism and dedication to his work as a trial advocate are reflected by his induction into the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) and in 2015 his induction into the International Society of Barristers. His accomplishments in the courtroom are recognized yearly in legal publications such as Florida Trend's Legal Elite, Florida's Super Lawyers, and in 2007 he was recognized by Lawdragon as one of the top 500 Plaintiff's lawyers in America. After the landmark Supreme Court decision in Engle v. Liggett Group, Inc., Mark has been involved in representing Engle plaintiffs against various tobacco companies responsible for the deaths of smokers who began smoking as children in the 1940s and 1950s. Beyond his professional achievements, he believes in community service to give back to the community which has been an integral part of his life. Mark serves on the Board of Directors for the Santa Fe College Foundation and in the past served on the Boards of Directors for the Children's Home Society, North Central Florida Community Foundation, and the Executive Committee of the North Florida Heart Ball, American Heart Association. Mark is married to the former Stacy Marie Upchurch and their blended family consists of four children; Alexandria, Danielle, Myles, and Weston. They all enjoy the outdoors and travel.

DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE WHO GASLIGHT YOU OR REGULARLY DROP ONE OR MORE OF THESE PHRASES ON YOU? "You are crazy." "You are just insecure and jealous." "You are too sensitive and you are overreacting." "It was just a joke. You have no sense of humor." "You are the problem here, not me." "But what about your issues?" "You're the only one that thinks like that'" "Look at all I do for you. What more do you want from me?" If so, you are probably dealing with a NARCISSIST. This week, I'm welcoming my good friend Rebecca Zung to the show for a revealing discussion on how to deal with narcissists, negotiate better, uncover how to deal with a toxic relationship and so much more. Something we don't often talk about on this show is what to do when you are in a toxic relationship (personal, business, or otherwise) and need the tools to get out. But it's something that most of us face at some point in our lives and it can really test our grit and grace.

But her journey wasn't always easy. Married at 19 the first time, she had 3 children by the age of 23 and then was a divorced single mom when she decided to go back to law school. She went from being a single mom, college dropout, to becoming one the most powerful lawyers in the country at the helm of a multi-million dollar practice. She is now committed to sharing her secrets and empowering others to live their lives at their optimum level of success, professionally and personally. She is the author of the bestselling books, Negotiate Like You M.A.T.T.E.R.: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win (foreword by Robert Shapiro) and Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom, and is a sought after major media contributor. Her perspectives are in high demand by television and print outlets, as she has been featured in or on Extra, Forbes, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time, Dr. Drew, NPR Talk Radio, Good Day New York and CBS Los Angeles among others. Now, Rebecca remains a partner in Long, Murphy & Zung, and is based in Los Angeles and Florida. She is continuing to serve through her incredible on-demand programs such as S.LA.Y. Your Negotiation With a Narcissist, and the Divorce Delete-Alt-Control Masterclasses.

We begin by discussing Lloyd's unique journey to become a trial lawyer, which was shaped by his military education at the Virginia Military Institute and years prosecuting and defending case in the Army JAG Corps.  Lloyd explains how he learned the importance of meeting your audience where they are while defending enlisted soldiers before juries of officers.  One of the most important lessons he learned was that officers wanted to carry out their "noblesse oblige" mission of showing generosity and nobility toward those they lead, and this key insight provided an opportunity to get his clients a second chance.  Lloyd moves on discussing how he applied lessons learned in the JAG Corps to his plaintiff trial practice.  He began representing plaintiffs in personal injury cases, and over time developed a specialization in medical negligence.  Lloyd explains how he meets juries where they are in medical cases by developing his cases around accessible themes, like one of the Seven Deadly Sins, as opposed to focusing the case on the medicine. We then move on to discussing Lloyd approach to his opening statement and use of trial technology.  Lloyd explains how he models his openings on popular television shows, which always begin with a dramatic hook.  He then uses technology to show  the jury the key medical concepts before telling the story of his particular case.  Lloyd provides tips on what makes effective use of technology in the courtroom, such as limiting the number of words on a slide, careful choice of images, single-concept slides and a clean, appealing layout and color scheme.   Lloyd prefers a multi-media approach including blowups, models and other aids to involve the jury in the evidence to the maximum extent possible.About Lloyd Bell (Lloyd Bell | Bell Law Firm)With more than 25 years of legal experience, Lloyd Bell has built a sterling courtroom record and recovered millions of dollars for medical malpractice victims.

But it has to be written into the contract, and it must describe what can fall into that category. It often plays in with other pieces of the contract, such as non-refundable deposit, etc. It is not all-inclusive. The event industry as a whole has exploded. On both the vendor and couple side, a lot of money is being invested. Wedding professionals are starting to come back to their clients with amendments to their contracts. When a lot of changes are going to be needed, a cancellation is a much better option to move forward. The best option if things are staying pretty much the same is an amendment. Things to look for in an amendment or new contract - What is the reschedule date? What is included in this reschedule? Make sure you are getting something similar. Be specific as possible. You can ask for things to be rewritten or revised! Make sure it references the date of the first contract and the new dates. What payments are being applied where? Everyone who signed first contract needs to sign the new one Make sure postponements are addressed. If you have to reschedule your rescheduling, it's important to be covered. Depending on the way it's written, you should be able to postpone again. If you are confused or struggling through this at all, it would be smart to connect with a lawyer. You don't need a partner level lawyer to read through these contracts. You can go with a lower level associate, who understands contracts, to get you into a place where you can feel comfortable and confident.
