News

Judge John Ward, (Ret.) is scheduled to conduct a Q&A on ‘Negotiation and Mediation in Workers’ Compensation’ at Brice Downey & Lenkov on September 20, 2013. Taking the format of a ‘hands on, how-to’ discussion, the focus will be on mediation and settlement from the standpoint of a workers’ compensation lienholder. Judge Ward will give insight into helpful strategy and tactics for settlement issues presented at mediation and pretrial conferences. Questions addressed will include: ‘What should be in the lienholder’s mediation or pretrial memorandum?’ and ‘How do we deal with a plaintiff or defendant who opens with a ‘presumption’ that the workers’ compensation lien will be waived?’

Judge Ward is a senior mediator and arbitrator at ADR Systems. His areas of expertise include personal injury, products liability, insurance coverage, professional liability, and workers’ compensation.

In an automobile accident case involving a severe injury, Judge Callahan kept both sides negotiating even when it appeared we were going to be over six figures apart at the end. His insights and guidance were instrumental in getting both sides to a dollar figure that ultimately settled the case. I am confident that we could not have achieved that settlement without Judge Callahan’s superb efforts.
