Breaking the mobile barrier
Charlie Mintz, Director of Business Development, CareServ Technologies, LLC
When the subject comes around to how long I've been in the healthcare IT industry, I shudder to think of how many healthcare facilities I've been through over the years. Then I realize how much I've seen change over the last few decades and the impact it's had on both patients and staff.
If I close my eyes I can still hear them that screeching sound of a dial-up modem, with a telephone handset sitting in its cradle, trying to connect to the World Wide Web. That's a sound that today belongs in some type of museum. And while that sound was a harbinger of things to come, adoption was very slow. Was it the desire to wait for the next leap in technology or the mindset of "We are making do with what we have?"
Who knows, but the former is no longer a viable excuse and neither is the latter.
Fast forward to today with fiber optic, high-speed connections to the internet, wireless technology and mobile devices in the hands of today's caregivers. Early adopters along with the hardware and software vendors that provide this technology are those reaping the benefits, both financial and in respect to staff retention. Yet I still see healthcare facilities, specifically in the long-term care community, trying to get by with 20th century technology.
Most of the 'lag' seems to come from software vendors not yet seeing the value of documenting with handheld devices. Fortunately, hardware visionaries such as CareServ Technologies have broken that mobile barrier to circumvent software's shortfall, so that no matter which electronic health record platform a long-term care facility uses, we can provide mobile technology to improve compliance, reimbursement levels and staff retention.
Instead of certified nursing assistants searching the halls for an open kiosk to try to remember everything they've done, why not document right then and there at the bedside or what we call the true point-of-care. This eliminates the another 'lag' point, for most of the time caregivers get distracted before they even get to the kiosk.
Handheld devices are no longer a "nice to have" option. Today it is a "must have" if facilities want to improve compliance and have the documentation they need to back up the higher RUG levels for which they should be getting paid.
Today there's no reason not to step into the 21st century, especially since it's 17 years old.

First of all I must wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2015. The New Year got off to roaring start for me - quite unexpectedly I had to go into hospital on the morning of New Year's Day for a minor operation. Nothing too horrible but let me say - uncomfortable. Anyway, I'm home now and sat with my feet up.
So, did you get any nice new/secondhand shiny photographic equipment for Christmas? My Mum gave me some money and with part of it I bought a set of 3 Extension Tubes for my Canon 40D. Extension tubes? Extension tubes? Yes, extension tubes - they usually come in sets of 3. Have you ever been caught in the situation where, no matter what you do, you cannot focus close enough to your subject - well, extension tubes help to solve this problem AND they are much cheaper than the megabucks alternative, ie. investment in a dedicated macro lens.
What do extension tubes do? Well, if you place an extension tube - or any combination of the 3 - between your camera body and lens, you can focus closer to your subject. There is no distortion because there is no glass involved, ie. extension tubes are hollow. Their sole purpose is to create distance between the lens and the camera sensor, thus allowing your lens to focus closer to your subject. I've not had a chance to use my set yet, but once I do, I will report back.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to talk about my tripod. I bought my Manfrotto MT190CXPRO3 Carbon Fibre some 12 months ago by mail order (after an advisory discussion with a salesman) from WEX Photographic - http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-manfrotto-190xpro3-carbon-fibre-tripod/p1543797- and have been using it on a regular basis. First of all I would say that the tripod by itself is light. However, the addition of a tripod head will determine just how light the final product will be. I am using a Heavy Duty Grip Ball Head with my tripod and I love the combination, even though the resultant combination is a bit on the heavy side: http://www.manfrotto.co.uk/product/861545/VGI322RC2/_/Heavy+Duty+Grip+Ball+Head
My tripod head is not light, but there again you wouldn't really expect it to be with a name that includes the words 'Heavy Duty'. The lighter version of the tripod head was not strong enough to hold my camera with its 70-200mm zoom lens attached, ie. the ball started to slip and therefore my camera gradually moved. So I gave the lighter version to a friend and invested in the heavier version and haven't looked back.
Just a couple of tips about using your tripod:
First tip - always extend the legs from the top, ie. using the thicker legs first - this leads to greater stability.
Second tip which no doubt you will have read many times before - buy cheap, buy twice. Been there, done that, regretted wasting my money. So always buy the best your can afford. Its better to save up and buy a good, strong, lighter tripod than a cheap one that weighs a ton. Why? Would you schlep your heavy tripod around with you? I doubt it. A tripod that lives in the boot of your car or, worse still, in your spare room buried beneath other stuff, is of no use to you, so what was the point in buying it? Oh yes, it was cheap. So save up and buy a strong, lighter, version and you will use it.
Oh and finally - Look after your three legged friend and it will serve you well.
I carried my tripod, together with its Grip Ball Head, and camera attached, up the 199 Steps at Whitby, Yorkshire and was able to take the photo below.
Well, that's it for this Friday.

"Who do you say that I am?"
Jesus Christ once asked, "Who do you say that I am?"
Have you ever thought about who your fellowship or church says Jesus is?
Have you actually explored the different iterations that come from churches.
Have you ever given thought to who the Jesus you think you know is. What is the Jesus you hold in your mind and heart like?
My Jesus performed miracles.
Does yours?
My Jesus performed miracles in which humans were healed of diseases and physical maladies.
Two blind men were healed, a paralyzed man was cured, a leper was cleansed, a woman was healed with a long term hemorrhage of blood.
My Jesus performed miracles over nature.
He walked on the sea and He stilled a storm. He cursed a fig tree, causing it to wither.
My Jesus performed miracles over things and objects. He fed the five thousand and He changed the water into wine. He summoned a fish with a coin in it's mouth.
My Jesus performed miracles in which those who were dead arose. His power conquered death itself.
My Jesus expelled evil spirits and demons out of humans who were tormented or insane.
Greatest of all, my Jesus forgives sin.
He forgave a known thief on the cross, a woman taken in adultery.
Many was the time that my Jesus healed and uttered the phrase, "Your sins are forgiven." This is more amazing than the miracle He performed.
What was the effect on humans who saw these miracles? Were their lives changed in any way for having witnessed a miracle, even though that miracle was not performed directly on them?
What is the effect of Jesus' miracles on us, on each of us as contemporary Christians who hear and seek to respond to his question, "Who do you say that I am?"
Some humans have a Jesus who does not perform miracles. Would Jesus still be Jesus the Christ if He had not performed any miracles? Do you still believe in miracles? Can your Jesus perform miracles today?
A miracle is not the momentary event; it is the miracle's long range effect on humans.
Jesus performed His miracles to say something to humans about the relationship between God and God's people.
He performed miracles out of His love and His empathy with those who suffered. Miracles were and are part of Jesus calling and ministry.
Luke 4:18-19
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
"Lazarus, come out."
John 11:43
These words originally rang out in a quiet cemetery, in the midst of a small group of humans in grief over the loss of a loved one.
The words back then were directed towards a small cave, a cave from which a sealing stone had just been removed, a cave where the body of Lazarus had been placed four days earlier.
The words rang out from this Jesus, my Jesus, despite the warning from the dead man's sister that the forces of decomposition would already be at work and that the stench from the cave would be overpowering.
The words rang out, and a figure of a man bound in grave clothes emerged from the depths of the dark cave.
It was Lazarus the man who had been dead.
He walked out of the tomb, fully alive.
Then Jesus said, "Unbind him and let him go."
Lazarus was not the only person Jesus raised from the dead.
On at least two other occasions He had only touched those who were dead and fully restored their life.
"Lazarus, come out."
Place your own name their and close your eyes as you hear my Jesus.
Hear His strong voice ring out your name.
My Jesus who overcame death, calls out your name.
He calls out to you in that darkened cave that you have been placed.
That cave that can not hold you.
That obstacle in your life that has been holding you.
Illness, poverty, demon possession, that seem all so permanent in some ways.
All arenas that Jesus, Almighty God, is in control of.
Jesus performed amazing miracles.
Now you hear His voice saying to your circumstances, "Unbind him, let him go. Unbind her, let her go."
God of love and mercy sets you, the captive free. Praise Him. Lift up your hands and give praise to Him. Worship Him!
You have been restored…"Who do you say that I am?" asks my Jesus.

Tips and Techniques
Time to Start Winter Protection
Now is the time to start your winter protection by preparing your roses.
Step 1: Treat roses with high potassium fertilizer every week until roses are covered.
Step 2: Begin tieing roses.
Final Nitrogen Fertilizer
Between now and August 15th is the time to apply your final nitrogen containing fertilizer to your roses. Application before the 15th gives the fertilizer time to work without encouraging new growth that will not have time to harden off before winter.
Got Blackspot?
Got blackspot? Try spraying with a combination of Maneb (Manzate or Mancozeb also work) with tebuconazole (Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers & Shrubs Concentrate). Not Bayer 3 in 1. Spray at 7 to 10 day intervals to avoid possible phytotoxic effects such shortening of internodes. Use only as directed!
Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers & Shrubs Concentrate is available from Amazon.com and DoMyOwnPestControl.com. There may be local sources to the Twin Cities, but I have not found any in the East side of the Twin Cities.
Growing Miniature Roses Indoors
Here is an informative article for growing miniature roses indoors, something to consider during our long dreary winters.
If your roses have leaves it is time to begin your preventative fungicide spray program.
Time to Fertilize?
Northern rose growers, if your soil temperature is above 50F, then it is time to begin fertilizing your roses.
Mulch Removal Time
With warmer temperatures and rain in the forecast, it is now a good time to begin removing the winter mulch from your rose beds. Only remove the mulch that is thawed. Let the frozen mulch thaw before removing.
Do not uncover your roses just yet. Just remove the mulch.

LA-originated Paul Hastings is a prestigious finance and real estate outfit, and a rare expert on the elusive Bitcoin.
May the odds be ever in your favour
The Paul Hastings trainees we interviewed were very commercially switched-on, and knew exactly what they wanted before they joined: that full-on experience of "big-ticket work and lean staffing." With better exposure to partners, sources found that "as a trainee you have quite a significant role – they want to treat you like an associate – it's a great place for me to learn!" Now, this formula doesn't make the firm unique; there are several US firms in London targeting the best graduates and challenging the traditional elites with high salaries and responsibility to match. So why do trainees recommend this LA-born firm? "They give you as much as you can cope with, but it's no Hunger Games. We achieve together as a firm." No matter how driven the firm is, to retain that sense of humanity and shared duty has a big impact on the lawyers' happiness – this was one reason why Paul Hastings topped our ranking for the happiest law firms in our US sister guide last year.
The firm has 21 offices across the US, Asia and Europe, and aims "to be increasingly global in outlook – to become a one-stop shop for our clients who have dealings across the world," reveals London partner Arun Birla. Fittingly, it's a pretty cosmopolitan place at the junior end, and a haven for linguists. We heard of one trainee who had "worked with the Milan and Paris offices," and of another who aimed to work in East Asia at one point.
"A one-stop shop for our clients who have dealings across the world."
Across the world, Paul Hastings is best known for high finance and capital markets, and that's the case here in London too, where PH's team gets decent marks from Chambers UK for both securitisation and high-yield products. Other stand-out disciplines are payments law, real estate finance, real estate funds, and hotels and leisure. All this has contributed to another bumper year, with a record posting of just over $1 billion for 2016. Both in the US and in London, Paul Hastings has continued its recent trend of hiring laterally, responding to growth opportunities: in 2016 the firm poached a three-partner finance team from Ashurst to create a collateralised loan obligations and structured finance team. And, to our interviewees' excitement, the firm has also hired a white-collar crime partner – a move which might mean a future trainee seat. Introducing this "sexy area of law" will be a welcome move, trainees thought, since there is currently only one contentious seat in this notably transactional training contract.
The allocation process is "a fairly informal process," by which you express a few preferences and HR try to accommodate them. "Because it is a small office, there's an element of luck, but if you keep asking you are likely to get it by your final seat." There's an unwritten rule that trainees should do a real estate seat, but this could mean a stint in corporate real estate, real estate finance or capital markets.
Corporate real estate involves a lot of hotels and hospitality, and includes some massive clients like Hilton Hotels, Starwood Capital, Thomas Cook and Deutsche Bank. A lot of the work includes managing clients' portfolios and acquiring or selling assets. Recently the firm advised Goldman Sachs on the acquisition of 12 Travelodge hotels across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for €60 million, as also Invesco Real Estate on the sale of a €415 million property portfolio to a Swedish fund. On large cases like these, the trainee might typically "take ownership of the paperwork, advise the team on what we need to get for that, draft board minutes, and then do due diligence." And with so many hotel clients, there are more offbeat tasks, as one trainee explained: "I spent a lot of time working with hotels on wedding facilities, transferring licences and IP."
Just a Lil Bitcoin
Paul Hastings' M&A and private equity deals typically involve huge sums and bring in the firm's whole network: "A lot of work comes from the US, but other offices chip in." There's "more variety of sectors" in this department, which this year has dealt with tech companies, international oil firms, large infrastructural transactions, and life sciences companies. In this seat, we heard "there's a lot of excitement – with the pound going down, inbound M&A investment is more attractive." Recent achievements include advising the American company DexCom, a provider of glucose monitoring technology, on its purchase of the pan-European distribution company Nintamed, and assisting the Filtration Group on its £220 million acquisition of the UK-based Essentra Porous Technologies. A corporate trainee would commonly spend a lot of time on due diligence, preparing board minutes and drafting ancillary documents.
"It's a massively international seat."
If you're a little baffled by new terms like bitcoin and blockchain, Paul Hastings will get you up to speed: the firm is one of only a handful of market experts in payments law, according to Chambers UK. Long lists of global tech companies and financial organisations – Facebook, Visa, Lloyds Bank, Sainsbury's Bank, PayPal, for example – need the firm's expertise in this fast-moving area of law that encompasses data protection and privacy. The firm's literature summarises the subject matter as "virtual currency, e-money, mobile banking ventures, and global money transfer programs." A trainee elaborated: "A lot of clients are working online and with apps – its not an anchored industry – so it can expand quickly, but with loads of regulations to deal with." This is an advisory seat, where trainees are tasked with researching how regulations affect services. "We have to keep up with new developments and statutory requirements, and inform the team and also clients via memos." Keeping informed is vital in this seat: "I've organised workshops for clients on how changing regulations will affect them, and partners from Atlanta and LA have come down to do joint presentations with us to the clients," a trainee explained. "It's a massively international seat."
Since the team from Ashurst joined, there are new trainee opportunities in a collateralised loan obligation seat, which "everyone wants to do." This is a particularly funky area of finance, where the firm gets to securitise groups of mortgages and perform £98.5 millionrepo financing deals for Morgan Stanley, for example. When they're not frantically googling what repo facilities or RPI swaps are, trainees have found themselves "getting into the nitty gritty of drafting agreements."
"...getting into the nitty gritty of drafting agreements."
Pro bono is a much bigger deal in the US, so accordingly the Los Angeles headquarters strongly encourages this. There are plenty of high-profile team-ups with charitable organisations, including working with UNICEF on how the Modern Slavery Act may affect children's rights, through to teaching basic finance in primary schools. Trainees can take time out of their billable hours to do this, but admit that it can be tough to stick to these commitments with the workload. The working day at Paul Hastings is adjusted a tad to overlap with LA time – trainees typically come in at 9:30am, and leave at 8pm on a normal day. "It doesn't live up to the horror stories you get about the culture at American firms," our sources claimed. Nevertheless, all-nighters can be common around closes, especially in corporate, and one trainee declined to tell us the hours they'd worked recently. Like most firms at this end of the market, answering calls on the weekends is normal, but at PH there's a reassuring blitz spirit: "We don't leave people behind," trainees agreed. "Sometimes you might have to cancel plans to help someone in the team." Paul Hastings belongs to a class of high-achieving firms that looks for resilient, driven people who know they're up to the challenge. Like many trainee classes of this size, the retention process is "informal," where HR aims to reconcile a qualifier's department aspirations with business needs. In 2017 six of eight NQs stayed at the firm.
"It's a small trainee intake and there is a total of about 150 people in the office, so we really do become close," reflected a trainee. "We naturally turn to each other for support." The appraisal system involves a fairly informal mid-seat chat and coffee with your supervisor – though sometimes it can be so informal that it doesn't happen, apparently. But thankfully, there's no shortage of expertise on tap, with trainees usually sharing an office with their supervisor. The office is located in the same building as Allen & Overy in buzzing Spitalfields. Trainees regularly get together on Fridays, when they might libate among the water features on Exchange Square or head out to Shoreditch. As a reminder of the firm's heritage, it puts on a bagel spread every Friday. There are also cheese and wine nights, or bowling, ping pong and mini-golf tournaments, and one trainee recalled a time "we were in making candy till late once and then went to dinner after."
"Because there isn't a culture for hand-holding, you should take the first step to ask questions, and ask associates to go for lunch."

How to get a Paul Hastings training contract
Training contract deadline: 31 July 2018 (opens 1 October 2017)
Work placements
The recruitment team at Paul Hastings attend five law fairs each year. Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Kings and LSE are usually on the list.
The firm doesn't run a formal vacation scheme, but it does offer up to 12 work placements each year, usually in late spring and early summer. These last a week each and are unpaid. Interested candidates should apply directly to Yvette Croucher, talent acquisition and development manager, with a CV and cover letter.
Croucher informs us that she's more inclined to offer placements to those who might not otherwise get a chance to gain experience in a City practice. Put it this way: if you've already completed six vac schemes with City firms, it's unlikely you'll land an offer.
Paul Hastings receives up to 250 applications each year for its training contracts. Croucher tells us that the quality of applicants has "dramatically improved" in recent years, making the process of selecting a shortlist (of around 20) a difficult one.
Trainee hopefuls need a consistently impressive set of A levels and GCSEs, and a minimum 2:1 degree. Yvette Croucher tells us the firm is on the lookout for those A and A* grades, and also reveals that many applicants have postgraduate qualifications like LLMs or other Master's degrees. When it comes to work experience, the firm "likes to see a variety, not just law firm vac schemes," she says. "Some of our applicants have legal experience – if they've worked as a paralegal, that's particularly good – whereas others have broader City or corporate experience, which also makes them more appealing."
The application form is divided into four sections: academics, work experience, hobbies and interests, and finally a group of open-ended questions like, 'Why do you want to be a City lawyer?' and 'What can you offer Paul Hastings?'
Croucher has 15 years' worth of experience as a practising lawyer, "and I bring that to bear when I'm recommending candidates to put through to the interview stage," she says. "Once someone's satisfied the academic criteria, it really comes down to getting a feel for the candidate. We're seeking people who are well rounded, resilient and mature. I know which characters and personalities will fit in well here."
Approximately 20 applicants make it through to the first interview, which takes place with Croucher and training principal Arun Birla. "It's very informal and an opportunity for us to find out more about their background – how they think and why they are interested in our firm," Croucher reveals. "We help them relax so they can speak honestly about their experiences."
Around 12 are invited back for a second interview, which lasts for a whole morning or afternoon. This takes place with two partners and is, according to Croucher, "very fluid – we have questions that we ask across the interviews in order to be consistent, but overall it's free-flowing and reactive to the candidate's responses." The interview is accompanied by a written assessment that involves reading and analysing a legal document. This tests a candidate's ability to digest information and summarise it succinctly.
Performing particularly well on one part of the interview process doesn't seal a candidate's success. As Croucher stresses: "It's about overall performance and demonstrating that you have the qualities needed to thrive in a US practice."
Among these qualities are maturity, sound judgement, resilience and ambition. Candidates must also be confident and personable. "It's a small office, and we often end up working across practice groups, so you have to be able to get along with people," Croucher says. "Personality is key, as is the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where the expectations are high."

Traditional IV ozone is effective, but only reaches a small proportion of the blood supply. 10-pass ozone, on the other hand, reaches a much greater proportion in each session, providing a more potent treatment and response.

Well, it's been a while and I am back in the Pacific Northwest after a long vacation in the Northeast. Not sure if I would call it a vacation though. Why is it that many of us return to our homes and wish for another vacation from our vacation? Is this irony or a paradox? I'm confused! Let's face it. First of all, a person is damn well good and ready for their vacation after being put on infinite hold while making car rental and hotel reservations, making arrangements to have one's mail delivered elsewhere or put on hold, taking care of any outstanding bills, prepaying bills, notifying everyone important that you will be out of town for a while, running to the bank to withdraw more money that you don't have, waiting in lines at airports and train terminals, trying to hail down taxi cabs, and of course, the ever loved task of packing one's luggage. Do you ever feel like you're a walking pharmacy whenever you travel? I do. If you're a woman, you know exactly what I mean. Let's see…there's your favorite perfume, your bag of make-up, toiletries of all kinds, body lotion, moisturizer, powder, hair care, flat iron, dietary supplements, disposable razors, first-aid kit, prescription medicines. Did I leave anything out? And don't forget accessories, jewelry, and other bling. And shoes! I think those take up the most weight in my luggage. In fact, this year I decided to mail all my pairs of shoes that I wanted to bring along with me to where I was staying. A few extra dollars to the post office sure beat the heck out of recovering months from a pulled tendon like I endured last time I tried to carry all my belongings in my luggage. From now on my travel motto is: "pack light; travel light."
And that's just the start of one's vacation! Or should I call it the pre-vacation? How about when you get back? There's the unpacking, laundering, picking up all your junk mail from the post office, sorting through all the junk mail and bills, sorting out your money account after all the free spending, sorting through all your email, running errands, and learning how to cook all over again. And lastly, getting back to the work office where your work has been patiently waiting for you to put in that overtime to make up for the time you were gone on vacation. Makes me wonder why one would even want to go on a vacation faced with knowing the fact that you will be farther behind in your work then ever! Do you ever feel a bit anxious or tense when on vacation? Know you know why!
Yes, I enjoyed my vacation if you really want to know. How do I feel now? Pooped! I think I need a vacation from my vacation.

Excellent service, used for both commercial and residential.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We appreciate Mahle Cool Air! Their installation and service was outstanding.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I tried Mahle Cool Air & Heating because he had advertised in our church
bulletin. I wanted to support that.
Well, I started in 2016 and I am still with them. Why? because the fellow who does the service, does a excellent job. I trust him and that is to me the key for my continuing to do business with a company. I am trying to read his name and it is either John or Jeff. He came with a fellow who he is in training, name Brenon. He seemed eager to learn the job right and was respectful. I hope Mahle will put in the right name as John deserves the credit for my staying on as a client★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Jeff and his two helpers were very professional, courteous, competent and clean. The inspector from town was here today and said they did an exemplary job. It's only been two days (of cool) so far but we expect the ten year warranty to expire unused!★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Jeff and the crew were outstanding in every way. Professional work, on time, took great care and spotless clean up when work was done. Jeff also insured that electric panel and wiring was proper. The team even watched over the roofer's tasks when he arrived. The office folks were also great to work with, very responsive and concerned that our job got done right.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Mahle Responded to my inquiry immediately. Then followed up with a quotation, and reached an agreement on installation within less than one week. Very satisfied with a friendly and professional service we received.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The A.C. in our rental condo quit on a Sunday and we had tenants.
Mahle responded, did a good job at a reasonable rate. Their tech Jeff did a thorough professional job on a Sunday.★ ★ ★ ★ ★
If you want prompt, professional service for a new system, service call or regular maintenance....call Mahle, you will be impressed!★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Tort reform requires companies to act responsibly, but as long as a company is motivated by profit, they will not. Here is another example.

A Los Angeles jury awarded four million dollars to a cinematographer injured on the job during the filming of Flight of the Phoenix. He had at all times prior to his accident been an independent contractor of Fox and Flight Productions Inc. The distinction is an important one: an independent contractor pays his own taxes, social security, retirement benefits, health insurance and self-employment tax. Corporations that employ independent contractors save huge amounts of money.
The plaintiff, Ciaran Barry, was struck by a prop, which caused him significant injury including broken legs and permanent nerve damage. He would never work as a cinematographer again.
Once the accident occurred, Fox and Flight Productions Inc. demanded that Mr. Barry be considered an employee under workers' compensation laws. Workers' compensation laws significantly limit the amount of recovery available to an injured worker. It is no-fault compromise system that is designed to cover workers for injury if they are injured on the job. Because it is a compromise system, without fault, the recovery amounts are strongly reduced. As an example a wrongful death case only pays $350,000 no matter how much money and how needed the worker was to the family.
In this case, a workers' compensation case would have substantially less value. The court, and jury, properly concluded that Barry was an independent contractor given the factual evidence at trial of his independent status prior to the injury. However, this case shows us the often-overlooked side of corporations, the desire to put their interests over the injured person. To put this loss onto worker's compensation, the company can continue to pay less for insurance, and save all the fees and liability caused by their negligent and dangerous practices.
Corporations will always attempt to mitigate their damages at the expense of injured victims, which is the reason that tort reform and limitations on liability simply do not work.
