This tool will generate a convertible note term sheet based on your responses to an online questionnaire. It also has an educational component, with basic tutorials and annotations. This term sheet generator is a modified version of a tool that we use internally, which comprises one part of a suite of document automation tools that we use to generate start-up and venture financing-related documents.
Because it has been designed to account for a number of options, this version of the term sheet generator is fairly expansive and includes more detail than would likely be found in a customized application.

The most caring and on the ball attorneys I have ever met.Facebook Review
The attorneys at Goldstein and Bashner are wonderful. Not only are they at the top of their field, but they truly care about their clients. I was in a terrible car accident that resulted in several complex injuries including a broken hand, herniated discs, knee problems and complex regional pain syndrome. Some attorneys are not experienced in dealing with CRPS, but they were. They also knew how to handle an aggravated injury. In the beginning I was unable to drive to their office, so Bob came to me. Bob is a great guy and will explain the process with a clear path. Although it was a long road due to my own going pain and the other side stalling, my case did settle. I was never pushed into taking anything I was not comfortable with. Also, more and more people have ERISA based health plans and the team of attorneys fought hard to have my Erisa lien reduced. This in itself is no easy feat. I would highly recommend Goldstein and Bashner to handle your case if you become injured in an accidentC.F., Huffington Car Accident Victim
I feel in my heart that Neal Goldstein saved my son's life.Eileen Schneiderman, Mother of Bullied Client
Bob and Neal were excellent to work with. My case was particularly complicated by the fact that there were multiple defendants involved. Bob and Neal stuck with it through the lengthy negotiations and prevailed. Thank you Bob and Neal and all of your staff!Linda R.
Now that André finished his physical therapy I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your professionalism, help, expertise and cooperation. It meant so much that when we were scared, we felt at ease knowing that you were watching diligently over our case.The Toumas
Great law firm .everyone that works there is very nice .they help you understand your case.they will fight for you all the way to the end of the case ..they made sure i was happy.Kathy John
It was an honor having the gentlemen of Goldstein & Bashner handling my case. I was in a car accident last year and hurt many parts of my body. I felt like there was no one to help me at all until I called Mr. Bashner's office. They always treated me like the number 1 client and settled my case without any problems! Everyone in their office was so nice to me and my family, every time I went in I felt like I was at home. They made me comfortable and helped me understand what was going on. Patty was the most helpful person I've worked with, she is very sweet and will always answer your questions no matter how many times you call! Everyone there is now my friend and I would recommend them to anyone who needs helpKin S

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the hard work, hours and yeses you put into my case and believed in me. Your professionalism, dedication, efforts and patience is much appreciated. I am so happy I chose you as my lawyer. I knew the very first day I met you in NYC that I chose the best lawyer to help me.Donna K.
This was my first law suit ever. I was injured during super storm sandy. I randomly selected Goldstein & Bashner's law firm to represent me. It was the best randomly selected choice I have ever made. Mr. Goldstein was my representative. He and his staff are courteous and professional and know their stuff. I was recently given a substantial settlement for my injuries. I would recommend them for any personal injury case, and their other specialties, as well. They are smart and very caring people.Kenneth B.
Our client went to a popular nightclub in Island Park with a group of her friends. She was looking forward to a carefree night of dancing with her friends. Unfortunately, while dancing she slipped and fell on a spilled beer and ended her night in the emergency room at South Nassau Community Hospital.
Our investigation, which included witness testimony and pictures, helped us gather proof that the beer was on the dance floor for at least an hour before she fell. The client had a very bad broken ankle which required surgery and extensive physical therapy.
We were able to successfully resolve her claims at a mediation. She was very happy with the generous compensation we were able to get to cover her medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.Client collects from slip and fall on beer at a Long Island nightclub
In this railroad claim, our 39 year old client slipped and fell in a rail yard that was unkept and leaking water had frozen over. He sustained injuries to his knee. We were successful in obtaining a resolution for the client, after providing evidence of the conditions of the yard that the railroad should have cleaned and repaired the leak.Slip and fall in train yard
In this case, we acted as a co-counsel for a client who had a very serious accident in San Francisco. At the time of the accident he was attempting to descend from a scaffold and fell from a significant height. Unfortunately, the client who is married and had two children suffered significant brain damage. Prior to the case going to trial there was a twelve hour mediation which resulted in a settlement for the client and his family that paid the client and his family necessary monies over his lifetime.Construction worker falls on unsafe scaffolding
Our client who was married and a father of four, was fixing a broken air conditioning unit which was located on top of a commercial building. While doing his work he fell from an I-beam, which was supporting the air conditioning unit. He injured his knee and back. He had four surgeries on his knee and multiple forms of physical therapy. The court decided that our client did not need to prove liability and therefore we proceeded to negotiate the value of his claim. The case was resolved for a significant sum of money which allowed the client to live comfortably, although he could not go back to work. The case resolved because the insurance company knew that after the court decided liability in the client's favor they were in a bad spot. The key in the case was convincing the court that the facts were in our favor.Air conditioning repair man falls while working
In this railroad case, a 39 year old Long Island Railroad lineman sustained severe burns after he cut energized cables as part of a demolition and modification of a substation. Our office had evidence that the foreman did not take the appropriate actions in making sure that all the cables were de-energized prior to anybody cutting. As a result of the explosion the client received third degree burns to his upper extremities as well as back injuries. Although the client should have preformed his own tests before cutting the cables and has since resumed work full time we were able to resolve his case to his satisfaction.Electrical explosion after cutting live cable
In this case, a 36 year old Long Island Railroad lineman was attempting to move an extremely heavy reel of cable. The job was usually done with the assistance of a special truck a truck but because of repairs the client was ordered to move the reel manually. The client's shoulder was injured and he was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff. The client had surgery which resulted in some minor complications. The client resumed his full activities and we were able to resolve the matter to the client's satisfaction.Injured while lifting heavy cable
In this case, our client was a 40 year old Long Island Railroad lineman who fell from a communication pole he was working on. Our office claimed that the Long Island Railroad should have used a bucket truck for the client which would have prevented the accident. The client injured his back and had surgical injections to alleviate the pain from his herniated discs. The client went back to work and the case settled during trial to the client's satisfaction.Fall from a communication pole
Our clients were the two daughters of a 61 year old mother and grandmother who was struck and killed by a driver who just did not see our client walking. Although, the laws in New York regarding the wrongful death of others are written against the remaining family members we were able to achieve a significant recovery by showing that the decedent actually was conscious for a brief period therefore entitling her estate to money for pain and suffering.Grandmother killed in Staten Island
Our client was coming off the ramp of the Triboro Bridge (now known as the Robert Kennedy Bridge) in Astoria when another car went through a stop sign. Our client, a sanitation worker tried to avoid the accident but was struck by the other vehicle and then lost control and slammed his sanitation truck into the side of a building. He damaged several of his fingers which required surgery. We were successful in obtaining the full insurance policy limits of the other vehicle.Sanitation worker slams into wall
Our client was a patient of a dental clinic in Brooklyn. On the date of the accident she was about to be seated in the dental chair when the arm collapsed and she fell out of the chair. We were able to show through the deposition of former employees that complaints were made, to the owners of the dental clinic, to fix the chair in question. The client sustained lower back injuries that resulted in back surgery. We were able to get a significant sum of money for the client. Of importance is that the moneys were paid directly from the owner of the clinic as there was no insurance.Client falls from broken dental chair
The painter, a 40-year-old man experienced at his job, was working on the renovation of a Long Island supermarket. While walking across the construction floor he fell through a hole that the store manager had carelessly covered with a flimsy piece of panel board. The hole needed to be secured in a better manner and there should have been some warning signs to let workers know there was a hole under the board!The man sustained very serious hand and arm injuries that resulted in surgery and the insertion of metal plates. This also prevented him from working for a significant recover period.We were able to identify specific violations which made the case much easier to resolve. The client sustained very serious hand and arm injuries resulting in surgery and the insertion of metal plates. Because of the strong evidence we had collected, including pictures, testimony, medical records and doctor statements, the case resolved to the client's satisfaction at a mediation.Painter Is Injured after Falling into a Hole at Construction Site
In this case, we represented a 46 year old railroad employee who was trapped in an escalator motor pit. Our office was able to show that the door to the pit was improper. The door should have been easy to open and close. The door in question got stuck and it was jammed shut. The railroad had already replaced some of the doors but not where the client was working. The client was injured in his attempt to free himself from the dark and hot pit. He claimed back injuries with some surgical procedures. We were successful in obtaining a resolution for the client, even though he went back to work full time.Trapped in an escalator motor pit
Our client was a vibrant seventy year old working for the County of Nassau. While getting off the elevator she tripped and fell as it misleveled. She was brought to the emergency room with a very bad broken shoulder. In fact there would have been surgery had it not been for her age and other non-related health issues. As a result of the injury she could no longer work and the evidence would have pointed to an employee who would have worked another five years. Indeed she had worked for almost forty years without many absences. The parties agreed to a six figure settlement which was to everybody's satisfaction. We believe that had the case gone to trial there would have been evidence that this elevator, which had been around a very, very long time had numerous problems. Although the client was older the insurance company settled, we believe, because of the evidence that would have been presented at trial.Long Island Resident Falls In Broken Elevator- Maintenance Company Pays
In this case, our client who was 39 years old at the time slipped and fell on an oil spill at a major construction site in Brooklyn. Through the testimony of several witnesses, we were prepared to show at trial that the spill was there for an extended period of time. We were able to resolve this case for a significant amount of money even though the client has a back injury which did not require surgery and he had a previous accident where his back was injured.Construction worker slips and falls on oil spill
Our client was a 58 year female who was struck after the defendant , a 20 year old college student from Woodbury Long Island, ran a red light and struck our client's vehicle. Client's car was totaled and she was brought to Nassau County Medical Center in East Meadow. She was in Intensive Care for about one week with a fractured hip, fractured ribs and a transverse process fracture. She remained in the hospital for about ten days and then was under the care of private physicians. Depositions were taken of all parties and the defendant acknowledged that he may have passed the red light. The defendant also testified that he did not recall the name of the streets where the accident occured. It is because the testimnony of the defendant was weak that we were able to secure a six figure settlement for our client who is now back to work as a teacher.6-Figure Settlement for Woman in Old Bethpage Car accident
Our client , a forty year old backhoe operator, was excavating a former gas station in the Bronx when a pile of dirt collapsed and flipped over his backhoe. He sustained very bad injuries to his ankle which required surgery. He was unable to go back to work and his only source of income was workers compensation. The case was brought even though the owner of the property had no insurance. In fact many lawyers may not have taken the case. Ultimately a settlement was reached in the mid-six figure range. What was unusual was that the defendant owner paid the award from his personal funds.Whitestone New York resident fractures ankle in excavation accident-Defendant uninsured
In this case, our client is a 37 year old factory worker who tripped over a raised door saddle in the Long Island City building where she works. Our office was able to establish through an expert engineer that the door saddle was not in compliance with the New York City Building Code. The client sustained a broken shoulder. She later was required to undergo a shoulder arthroscopy. The case was resolved at a mediation for a large sum of money, in part, due to our expert engineer's report.Client trips over door saddle in Long Island City workplace
Our client was a 47 year old school teacher from Holbrook, New York when she was rear ended by another vehicle on Route 112 in Brookhaven. As a result from the accident she sustained lumbar and cervical herniations which resulted in her getting epidural steroid injections. Prior to the settlement she underwent a fusion because of the severity of her injuries. The plaintiff was unable to take time off from work which complicated her rehabilitation. We were able to obtain a six figure settlement for the client which was due in part to our persistent in negotiation with the insurance company.Suffolk County Resident -Settlement of Herniated Disc
Client was a 45 year old health care worker when she was in a taxi that decided to back up off an exit by the FDR drive in New York City. The taxi collided with another vehicle and the client injured her shoulder. She had a slight rotator cuff injury and bad neck trauma. She lost a part time job that she had although she went back to work as a home health care aid. She has an arthoscopic surgery and had to undergo intensive physical therapy. The case was proceeding to trial when the defendant taxi paid out a six figure settlement. The defendants knew that if the case had gone to a jury trial there probably would have been a substantial verdict in favor of the injured party.Bronx Accident Lawyer- Client Has Shoulder Surgery-Taxi Pays The Limit
Our client was in her 40s and was a paralegal in the insurance industry. She was involved in a car accident in which there was no dispute as to liability. However her injuries were hotly contested as she claimed severe neck and back problems requiring numerous injections and long term physical therapy. The case was litigated in Suffolk County where the defendants made a motion for summary judgement on threshold.They claimed that the plaintiff did not meet a serious and permanent injury and the case should be dismissed. We opposed the motion with dozens of exhibits including doctors affidavits and medical reports.We won the motion and the matter was then submitted for arbitration. At the arbitration both sides presented their evidence and the arbitrator gave the plaintiff an award beyond the insurance policy limits of the defendant.We then proceeded to submit a SUM claim with the client's own carrier who gave up their entire policy. The client ended up with a six figure settlement and she was very satisfied. This case could have been resolved two years earlier but at a very low settlement. We made the decision that this woman deserved a considerable amount more and she got it.Long Island Woman Wins A Six Figure Arbitration Settlement
This case was a big triumph for our client after Allstate tried to play hardball tactics that backfired in court.
Our client, a 58-year-old self-employed mother, was a passenger in a car going straight through a green light when it was hit by vehicle making a left turn in front of them. She suffered a fractured wrist that required surgery. Her injury and discomfort was exacerbated by a recent diagnosis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (now called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), a rare disorder that is characterized by chronic, severe pain.
Allstate refused to offer any money on the case until three months before trial, at which time a low five figure offer was made. We felt this offer was unreasonably low. We believed the circumstances had a minimum six figure value.
It was not until the middle of the trial that the attorneys representing the other vehicle and on the directions of Allstate raised the offer to a mid-five-figure number. The accident victim, in an effort to stop the trauma of the trial, lowered her demand to a high five figure settlement. At this time Allstate shockingly withdrew its offer completely. The case therefore went to the jury and after several hours of deliberation returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Allstate settled the case immediately for a six figure settlement. Our client was thrilled.A Big Win against Allstate Insurance's Hardball Tactics
Our client suffered a badly broken wrist which required surgery. She was later diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy. We litigated the case for several years and a few moths before trial Allstate decided tio make us an offer that was very very low. In fact it was a sum of money that you would expect to get on a neck or back case. No explaination, no negotiation just "Here's our offer,take it or leave it". We decided to leave it.
During the trial Allstate increased their offer ,we gave them a demand(which was within their policy limits)and they decided not only not to negotiate but to withdraw their offer. A very gutsy move and one that Im sure did not include consulting with their insured. We took a verdict which resulted in Allstate quicky setteling the case
In this case, a 37 year old man was hit by a vehicle near his home in Bayside, Queens. While crossing the street, the vehicle struck the man's foot and he was subsequently flung to the ground.

He was walking in a shopping center parking lot when he tripped over a hole that had been covered up with snow.Our client fell and sustained a severly fractured ankle that later required surgery.

Our client was thrilled with his six-figure settlement.Bronx Veteran Trips, Falls, and Recovers a Large Settlement
In this case, we represented a construction worker in Long Island. While at work, our client fell from an unprotected opening on the 2nd floor of the home that he was doing construction on. As a result of the fall, the man sustained life devastating injuries. Our client was unfortunately diagnosed with paralysis. Under New York State Labor Laws, we were able to show that the defendant was responsible for our client's life altering injury. We effectively proved that our client was not provided with proper safety equipment and that the opening was a work hazard. The case was eventually resolved in trial, and we helped our client to obtain a multi-million dollar settlement.Worker in New York Construction Accident Obtains 7 Figure Settlement
In this case, our client, a dedicated health care worker, was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another car while in the Bronx. Our client suffered serious injuries to her shoulder as a result of the collision. Following the accident, her shoulder required surgery. Because of her injury, our client missed work for approximately eight months. Our firm wanted to help the woman to obtain compensation for her the damages she sustained, and during a mediation we were able to show that our client's shoulder injury was in fact a permanent condition. To our client's satisfaction, we obtained a six-figure settlement in this case.Bronx Mother in Car Accident Gets Big Award for Shoulder Injury
Our client, a thirteen year old female student, was sexually molested by the Dean of her school. The assailant was conivcted of sodomy and sexual molestation of a minor. Through a lengthy discovery process, our lawyers were able to show that the Board of Education should have known that the principal had a history of sexual misconduct. We helped to find that there were prior complaints from parents and students against the principal. Our client was put under the care of a phychologist for a number of years, and she was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. Prior to trial, we were able to get the Board of Education to resolve this matter in the high six-figures.Brooklyn Teen Sexually Assaulted By a Board of Education Principal
Our client, a motercyclist, while riding on Montauk Highway in Suffolk County, was injured when the offending vehicle made a left hand turn in front of our client. The client's motorcycle was struck causing him to be thrown from his cycle onto the ground. Our client 28 at the time fractured his wrists, hand, pelvis, knee, leg and had multiple surgeries. If you looked at his x-ray you would see that metal pins were holding him together. Unfortunately, the owner of the offending vehicle had a limited policy (that generally means limited funds from the policy). Clearly we could not accept that and we prepared the case for trial. Many lawyers would have advised their client to take the policy and suffer the loss. We felt our obligation to the client and to get justly compensation. In the end the owners of the vehicle paid, out of their pocket, an enormous amount of money. In fact, the Judge of the case said he did not remember another case where so much money was personally paid from the defendants. This occurred because of our tenacity and unwillingness to abandon the client and take the "easy" way out.Motorcyclist breaks half his body, awarded well above policy limit
In this case, our client was riding his motorcycle on the Montauk Highway, when the front side of his bike was struck by an oncoming vehicle as the car attempted to make a left turn. Our client sustained numerous severe injuries, including fractures in his hip, arms, and legs. Before any verdict was reached, we were able to get the defense to settle the case in the high six-figures. Also, because the defendant was under-insured, we worked to successfully collect a large sum of this settlement from the defendant's personal assets. This helped our client to obtain a much larger settlement.Long Island Motorcycle Accident Victim Wins Large Settlement
Our client was a 50-year-old school aide who tripped and fell in Brooklyn on a tree stump in front of an apartment building. She broke several bones in her hand, which required surgery. She also suffered nerve damage and was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). The lawyers for the city claimed that the owner of the apartment building was responsible for the tree stump, but the building owner claimed the city had cut the tree down a year earlier and knew the stump was still there. This case was settled before the trial for a six-figure dollar amount, which the client was very satisfied with.One of the reasons we were able to get a very good settlement was because we were able to obtain documentary evidence that the city had not only cut the tree down but had requested that their workers remove the stump a year earlier. The evidence made the case much stronger.Brooklyn Woman Trips on Tree Stump and Receives Six-Figure Settlement
Our client was a passenger in a car involved in a multi-vehicle collision. The crash occurred on the Grand Central Parkway near a construction site. A Nassau County police vehicle was involved. The car our client was in rear-ended another vehicle, but the car that caused the accident had sped away and the driver was uninsured.

She was traveling westbound on Grand Blvd. in Deer Park when an eastbound car driven by a drunken driver drifted into her lane. She suffered numerous fractures that required surgery as well as 2 rods and plating.Although the driver of the operating vehicle was negligent, we were also able to establish that the restaurant that served him alcohol was also partially negligent.The key to the settlement was video surveillance we obtained that showed the restaurant's bartender continuing to provide drinks to the driver after he was drunk.Teenager Hit by Drunk Driver Wins Close to 7-Figure Compensation
Our client, a 70-year-old longtime resident of Harlem, was critically injured when a Budget Rent-a-Car truck backed up on the sidewalk and struck her. Our client, who relied on a walker, was hit by the truck as she was walking on the sidewalk on 117th Street. The car rental company was using the sidewalk to maneuver their trucks to and from their garage.The victim suffered multiple injuries, including a ruptured spleen, internal bleeding and fractured ribs. She never fully recovered from the accident.

Our client, a 75-year-old woman from Glen Cove, was shopping at her local liquor store when she tripped on boxes that were cluttering the store's narrow aisles. Our lawyers were able to show that the store's employers caused the dangerous condition by leaving the boxes in the aisles with no signs or warning to shoppers. The testimony of the ambulance attendant sealed the deal: they testified that in trying to get to the plaintiff, they had to navigate through all the boxes.As a result of the evidence we gathered showing the store's liability as well as the serious nature of the accident—including serious injuries to our client's neck, back, shoulder and knee—we were able to help our client collect a 6-figure victory for her injuries, medical bills and pain and suffering.

Our client, a 78-year-old woman, was leaving her regular weekly Bingo game at St. Joseph's church in New York City when she tripped and fell on a defective sidewalk. She was very badly injured.She suffered head trauma, a fracture and ruptured tendons in her arm, and a dislocated shoulder. She required surgery and spent three months on bed rest.The crack and break in the sidewalk was less than an inch. A small crack like this had been deemed unsubstantial in past cases. The Bronx Supreme Court judge agreed and dismissed the case. We felt this case had merit.
Our lawyers believed this client had a strong case and serious injuries as a result of the church's negligence. We appealed the decision and, with the help of our engineers, we were able to show that the sidewalk defect was a "substantial defect." We also had our client testify that the condition had been present for a period of time, and we provided photographic evidence that demonstrated the defect was visible. She won and was thrilled to receive the compensation to help pay her bills and recover without the added financial stress.Major win for a 78-year-old who tripped and fell on a broken sidewalk
Our client, a 37-year-old woman who was working in a home that has just gone through extensive reconstruction, slipped and fell through an uncovered hole that was in between floors. There was no handrail or retaining wall, and no warning sign.The homeowner had a limited insurance policy that did not cover the serious injuries of our client. In addition to back and hip injuries, she had multiple fractures in her leg, and had to undergo three surgeries. To help her get the full compensation she deserved, we pursued the case against the homeowner personally. During trial, the matter was settled and the home owners paid a significant sum of money from their personal assets.With our help, our client was able to get the compensation she deserved for her serious injuries. Most attorneys would not have pursued this case beyond the insurance payout. We believed our client deserved more for her injuries.Going after Homeowner Pays Off Big for Our Client

Our client was a 46-year-old subcontractor hired to work on construction for a property owned by the defendants. He was grouting tile in a bathroom when he fell off a ladder. He fractured his wrist and suffered a torn forearm as well.The defendants made a motion to have the case dismissed, but we argued that there were no proper safety measures in place, the ladder was old and damaged and the area was not safe. We were able to settle the case for a mid-six figure award for our client.Sub-Contractor Wins Big after Falling off Ladder
Our client was sexually assaulted by her partner, a prominent medical doctor. This was a complex case involving medical malpractice as well as sexual assault. The case involved numerous depositions of the defendant and his associates. The matter ultimately was resolved for a significant six-figure settlement because of the clear case of liability we were able to show on the part of the defendant, which only came about after conducting many depositions.Significant Settlement for Sexual Assault Involving Doctor
Our client was sexually assaulted by her attorney, a well-known entertainment lawyer in New York City. The lawyer pleaded guilty to sexual assault, and we brought a civil case against him. After much litigation and work, the case was settled immediately before jury selection for a six-figure settlement. This helped our client pay her medical bills and get the psychological counseling she needed to begin her recovery process and heal from the trauma.This significant settlement is particularly noteworthy because the defendant had to pay the entire amount out of pocket—there was no insurance that could be used to cover the settlement.6-Figure Settlement for Woman Sexually Assaulted by Lawyer
Our client was 52 year-old war veteran riding on a city bus in the Bronx towards Jerome Avenue on Kingsbridge Road. When the driver lost control of the bus, the vehicle hit multiple parked cars, throwing our client around and badly injuring him. He suffered very serious injuries to his back, neck, right arm and shoulder. As a result of his injuries, he needed back surgery and will still require additional back and neck surgery.Filing a lawsuit against the city is a tough win. Our lawyers went into overdrive, thoroughly investigating the accident and meticulously documenting the client's injuries and medical costs. We presented a case that convinced a jury of peers to agree to a significant multi-million dollar verdict. What is even more surprising is that the jury awarded an even higher amount than what was expected. This is very unusual. It is so difficult to sue and win against the city—this was a tremendous win for our client, who will now recover all his costs and be compensated for his very severe pain and suffering.Multi-million dollar verdict for veteran injured in bus acciden
Our client, a young woman with a newborn baby, suffered severe trauma to her head and jaw after a serious car accident. She was a front-seat passenger in the car. They were driving in Roslyn and as the car turned off of Northern Boulevard by Sinclair Martin Blvd., it was struck by another car.

As a new mom, our client did not want to go through a long trial. Our lawyers worked quickly and thoroughly to establish the details of the accident and determine her injury costs, including lost wages, future medical costs and pain and suffering.

In this recent case, our client was a 62 year old woman who was in good health. While leaving her church on a Sunday morning, she tripped over a raised cellar door in front of a nearby business. The cellar doors were bent and broken and had been left for a while in a condition that was unsafe to anyone walking by.Our client suffered painful injuries to both her hand and back, including damage to several spinal discs that ultimately required surgery.
We worked diligently with experts to provide detailed reports and photographs that helped us prove the door was defective. This allowed our lawyers to resolve the case to our client's advantage at mediation, and our evidence enabled her to settle for a 6-figure award that she greatly appreciated.

Our firm won a six-figure settlement for a 59-year-old maintenance worker for the New York Blood Bank Center. He worked in their mid-town Manhattan office, and on the day of the injury the building management had hired an outside elevator company to fix a broken freight elevator.Only one worker was brought in to do this job, though at least two or three people should be needed to safely fix the elevator. The worker needed assistance so he asked our client to help hold the elevator door while he went up in the shaft to make the repair.
This elevator door is extremely heavy and was not secure. After several minutes of holding the door, our client felt a shift and then the door came slamming down on him, aggravating a preexisting condition to his back. Our client was severely injured and will not be able to ever return to this job.
Our lawyers were able to show that his injuries were due to the negligence of the elevator company brought in to fix the elevator. We showed that they failed to bring in enough manpower to complete the job, did not provide proper supervision and safety measures, did not provide proper training and failed to keep the area safe for others. We were also able to show that our client's injuries seriously limited his activities and negatively affected his quality of life, which allowed him to collect a significant payment to compensate for his difficulties.

A Farmingdale student who was relentlessly bullied while at Wedon E. Howitt Middle School has settled with the school district. The boy, who is now a well-adjusted high school student, suffered three years of bullying. The case was helped by the family's meticulous records of calls and communication with the school district and numerous serious injuries–both physical and psychological–that were documented with medical records. Some examples of the abuse:
In addition, the boy kept a journal he wrote for an English class in which he mentioned the bullying and how it made him feel. The teacher's only comment was "I'm sorry you went through this."
By collecting all the communications with the school over a three-year period, the medical records and journal entries, we made a strong case that the school's staff and administrators did not do enough to protect our client and put a stop to the bullying. We were able to settle with the district for a confidential amount, but our client was very happy with the results.
This case illustrates how it is possible to get compensation for bullying from a school and we hope it inspires other families to know they have recourse.Farmingdale Bully Victim Feels Like Winner with Settlement
Our client, a 71-year-old man, was leaving Macy's at Roosevelt Field and walking to his car. A speeding car was driving erratically towards him as he crossed a pedestrian walkway. The car ran over his feet, causing multiple fractures that required surgery.To make matters worse, the man was just recovering from chemotherapy for colon cancer and already in a weakened condition when the accident happened. This made the recovery longer and caused additional pain and suffering.
Noted partner attorney Robert Bashner, "His medical history made his recovery time longer and caused added pain and suffering. We were able to get him a sizable settlement." He was very satisfied with the results of his case and is thankfully making a full recovery."Cancer Patient Hit Again, This Time by Car
Our client was a construction worker for a company in Maspeth. On the day of the accident he was unloading cement pellets from a forklift when one fell on his right foot. Due to the tremendous weight of the cement, this was an extremely painful injury from which he will never fully recover.As a result of the accident, our client has permanent damage, disfigurement and pain not only in his foot but the surrounding muscles, tendons, nerves, joints and tissues. The client was in and out of the hospital several times and spent a significant time period on bed rest. To this day he still suffers pain.
Our construction site injury lawyers were were able to show that labor laws were violated. There were several safety issues. Our client should have had another worker with him for this job. In addition, there was too much concrete on the forklift and the pellets were not properly secured.
Said partner Neal Goldstein "Our client has been out of work and confined to his bed. We fought and got him a settlement that would help take care of his living expenses and family while he recovered."Disfigured Construction Worker Gets Sizable Settlement
Our client was a 2-year-old infant at the time of this horrible accident. He was living in a rented apartment in the Bronx with his young sister and parents. She was home watching him, but was momentarily distracted when he went to the window and fell out, tumbling down four stories.The window did not have any safety guards, which is required by New York City law in apartments with children under 10 years old living in them. That is because these accidents are rare when the safety guards are in place. The law requires them even in first floor apartments because it i so easy for a child to fall out a window. An adult only needs to look away for a moment.
Luckily our client survived, but he suffered multiple skull fractures as well as multiple fractures and lacerations throughout his body. The young boy continues to suffer–he is in pain and has trouble with prolonged sitting, standing, walking, climbing stairs and other daily activities most kids take for granted. He will never fully recover and will require extensive therapy and special education.
In addition, his young sister was in the "zone of danger," which means she was close enough to him to see the accident and has been traumatized.
In addition to getting a sizable settlement for the boy, our accident lawyers were also able to get money for the sister for the trauma she suffered.Infant Falls from Window Missing Safety Guards
Our client "D.B." is a 62-year-old woman who was having issues with her neighbors. They had created a homemade gate to help keep their children and dog in their yard, but the gate blocked D.B.'s access to her driveway and garage.When she went to the neighbors to talk about it, the discussion quickly escalated into a heated argument with pushing and yelling. The neighbor slammed the gate closed on D.B.'s hand, causing serious damage. The injury resulted in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also knows as RSD, a condition that is common after a serious injury. D.B. required two years of physical therapy, twice a week.In addition to the physical injuries, DB has dealt with harassment and threats from this neighbor. "You're dealing with all young people here and you have no idea who you are dealing with," she allegedly screamed to our client.We told the neighbor's lawyers we were going to need depositions from everyone and were prepared to take this case to trial. We collected strong evidence to bolster our case. The lawyers ultimately negotiated with us for the money we knew our client deserved.
Our client was extremely happy with the outcome and wrote us a note, "From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the hard work, hours and years you put into my case and believed in me. Your professionalism, dedication, efforts and patience are much appreciated. I am so happy I chose you as my lawyer."Neighbor Dispute Results in Big Win for Our Client

Dramatic video has surfaced of the police chase that led to shots being fired near the U.S. Capitol.
WASHINGTON -- Police near the U.S. Capitol opened fire on Thursday on a car being chased by authorities, hitting a woman driving the vehicle that also contained a child, an intelligence source told CNN.
The child appeared to be uninjured, according to the source and witnesses.
Capitol Police said an officer was injured in a crash during the afternoon chase that began near the White House.
The chaotic scene, with gunfire erupting near the heart of the U.S. government, brought a swarm of emergency vehicles and caused Congress and surrounding offices to be temporarily locked down. Representatives and senators were in the buildings.
House and Senate sessions were immediately suspended. Police also closed Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House.
CNN's Athena Jones, who was at a Senate office building near the Capitol, said she heard gunshots that sounded like fireworks.
The chase began when the woman driving a black sedan got involved in some kind of verbal altercation with officers at a security checkpoint a block from the White House, the intelligence source said.
As police cars arrived at the scene, the vehicle sped away and led police on a wild chase that included running red lights, according to the source.
When the vehicle approached the area of the Capitol building more than a mile away, several squad cars stopped it and officer "came out with their guns drawn," said Frank Schwing, a D.C. resident who witnessed what happened.
The armed officers tried to open the passenger side door, he said.
"At that point, the driver slammed into reverse, slammed into a cruiser, did a 180 (degree turn), took off, and at that point, there were a half dozen or so shots fired," Schwing told CNN, apparently all by small arms from police.
The black vehicle then crashed into security barriers closer to the Capitol building, said police and witnesses.
In Congress, a Capitol Police bulletin said reports of gunshots required "all occupants in all House office buildings to shelter in place."
"Close, lock and stay away from external doors and windows," the bulletin said. Authorities later lifted the lockdown, with police saying they believed the incident was isolated with no connection to terrorism.
Two people, including a police officer, were transported to a local hospital.
President Barack Obama was briefed on the situation, which occurred on the third day of a government shutdown due to a stalemate in Congress over government funding.
"The timing on this was really kind of scary," said Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas. "Capitol Hill police are at a lower personnel level because of the shutdown."

The Nine Dot LLC
After many years in Corporate sales and marketing roles, I am starting my own consulting business. I want to be different from the rest - I want to prove new business models and provide new ways of thinking for my clients. Scarily, I actually want to state opinions to my clients!
I have mostly worked in the IT industry, and understand how to construct and take-to-market new software, hardware or IT services solutions. I want to share new ideas with my clients on how to differentiate their solutions for the customers, and utilize effective client acquisition and retention practices.
I have worked with most types of IT delivery organizations as channel or referral partners - I want to excite my clients with a new approach to working with the people and organzations who can help them sell and service their products.
The target audience for this is primarily IT software, hardware and services organizations. They will likely be small to medium sized organizations looking to grow their business - either by building new products, new markets or new channels of distribution. They will be US-based companies, or International companies looking to get into the US market.
The likely contact is the CEO, the Head of Sales, the Head of Channels / Alliances, or the Chief Markting Officer (or all of this list).
They will be looking for someone who can help them devise new strategies for addressing the growth opportunity facing them. I want them to believe that I can provide great, innovative thinking, that is grounded in many years practical experience working with similar organizations to theirs. I want them to believe that I will not provide cookie cutter approaches to their situation, and that we will together come up with solutions which are right for them specifically.
Although my company name is derived from the "Thinking outside the box" concept of the Nine Dot puzzle, I do not want the design to be too literal.
The main theme is about new ways of working, getting the best out of the people and organzations who can help my clients to be successful, in a win-win context.
Consulting companies, particularly small sales and marketing focused ones, can be perceived to be reactive and dull. I want the design to cut across this, and demonstrate a desire for new thinking but based in the pragmatic world of increased competitiveness, focus on revenue and stakeholder success, and a need for Return on Investments (ROI).
Feel free to be bold in the use of concepts and colors - whilst avoiding triviality and flippancy. The target audience is business people looking for new, fresh ideas.
I look forward to receiving some great ideas and designs - thanks in advance

Archangel Consulting http://www.archangel.at/blog/neue-s…archangel/
Im a former German paratrooper and have been working for the last 5 years as a private security contractor in Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa. My specialty is Emergency Medical Care in hostile and remote environments. I am starting a company which will provide training courses (firearms, tactics, medical) and will include a Crossfit box and a martial arts dojo (Bujinkan). I played American Football for 10 years, did martial arts for 15 years, lifted weights for 20 years and have a MSc in Psychology. I love Fantasy Role Playing Games and eat Paleo.
Anyone working in high risk environments, adventurers, warriors, special forces operators as well as companies looking for professional services to support their projects in hostile environments.
The logo should appeal to the military/warrior community but also to major companies looking for a professional service provider.
Read http://archangel.at/blog/neue-seite-1/archangel/ that will explain the Symbolism of the "Archangel". You can also see the current "logo" on the top left. The new logo should include a sword and 2 wings and the script "Archangel". Main color should be maroon/bordeaux red (paratrooper beret color), additional colors should be white and black. Red white and black were also the colors in the old German War Standard. The wings on the old logo were taken 1:1 from a Warhammer 40.000 Blood Angels Banner. I liked the stylized wings which give it a rather warlike feeling which fluffy white dove wings just wouldnt. Be creative with the wings and the sword :) The Logo needs to be aggressive, something that would fit a Combat Search and Rescue Medic. These guys fly into hot LZs, ready to take on anyone necessary in order to extract the casualties. At the same time it should not be too cluttered with detail so that it could be put on a unit patch and would be clearly recognizable. Military unit patches/badges are a good orientation point for the design I would like, but Im open to any suggestion as long as it fits the companys "spirit". I have no clue as to the "format" of the logo, but something where I could make minor changes to would be great (like a version where the layers are still unmerged). I added a picture of a Griffon knight from the Rackham Confrontation game that might give some additional ideas as to colors, shapes and feeling.

Term Life Insurance Quotes
Many insurance companies determine your age as your age at your nearest birthday. As an example, if you were born on January 1,1968, your "insurance age" in 2008 would be age 40 up until June 30th, 2008. Thereafter, it would be age 41 until June 30th, 2011.
The date your policy is issued determines your
insurance age.
As it typically takes 30 - 90 days to approve a policy, the premium of your policy might differ slightly from your original quotes.

This is a great piece that Avery has put out on making our offices a little more environmentally friendly. There are some great ideas here that are easy to implement. They also have some great templates on their web site for recycle cans, etc.
The Office Guide to Going Green Want to do more to help the environment? The workplace offers plenty of opportunities where you and your co-workers can make a difference. Here are some eco-tips on how to easily incorporate going green into your work day:
|Think bright with energy-efficient lights. Consider switching those office lights you turn on in the morning to Energy Star®-qualified bulbs. These bulbs last up to 10 times longer and use about 75% less energy than regular light bulbs.
|Go green with supplies. Recycled copy paper, biodegradable pencils, and other earth-friendly office products can help your company make that commitment toward a more sustainable workplace. The Avery EcoFriendly line of labels which includes address labels, shipping labels, file folder labels and name badges, earned their name because both the label paper and package are recyclable as part of paper waste. Another eco-minded product is the Avery Recyclable Binder, made with 100% recycled chipboard. After use, the binder cover and rings can be separated and recycled. And with all our environmentally friendly line of products, you can trust in the same high quality you've come to rely on from Avery.
|Give paper cups a break. It's time for a coffee break-but back off from using that paper or StyrofoamTM cup for your daily intake of joe. Give the planet a break, too, by using reusable mug instead.
|Cut back on copies. The average U.S. office worker goes through 10,000 sheets of copy paper a year, according to the Sierra Club. Rather than printing out all those memos or presentation handouts, send out electronic copies or use recycled paper and double-side your printing
|Set up a recycling station. After having a nice lunch, do you throw your garbage away in a trash can? Make recycling a no-brainer by creating a recycling station.
|Ship with available resources. Reusing old boxes is an economical way to ship while cutting down on waste.

The STCA(Scottish Terrier Club of America) Rescue Program is made up of a combination of sanctioned Regional Clubs, independent Rescue organizations, and individual Scottie lovers, sharing their love of the breed and dedicated to helping those in need. These groups network with each other. Not all Regional Clubs have rescue programs but there are other rescue programs or organizations that cover most of the United States. All of these programs/organizations operate independently of the Scottish Terrier Club of America, carry their own insurance, and do their own fund-raising. If they wish to be listed here, they are expected to agree to and follow the STCA Code of Ethics and the Rescue Code of Conduct, and to sign a waiver that absolves the STCA of any liability. The Scottish Terrier Club of America (STCA) itself does NOT rescue and place dogs for adoption. We only provide the links to allow members and guests to find a rescue program/organization.
The Rescue programs/organizations are listed here for your convenience. If you are interested in becoming part of the rescue network, please contact a group that is in your area and they will help you get involved. If you are interested in adopting a Scottie, please read below before you contact a rescue program/organization.
Contact one of the Rescue Programs/Organizations listed on the website, preferably one near your home. You may be asked to fill out an Adoption Request Application. In addition to completing the application satisfactorily, you will be given an on-site visit by that organization to confirm that your situation is the best for the dog that is up for adoption. Not all rescued dogs are able to adapt easily to a new home, so it is important for the rescue organization and YOU to be sure they have the best match for you and the dog. Most of the Rescue programs/organizations will ask you to pay an Adoption Fee, which helps to cover the medical bills, grooming, and food while the dog was being fostered prior to adoption. In return the Rescue program/organization will help you through the entire adoption process and beyond to be sure the adoption is successful, the dog has a forever home, and everyone is happy.
The Scottish Terrier Club of America has established a Rescue Trust Fund, to assist rescue programs/organizations with meeting rescue expenses for a particular dog that are beyond their capability. This non-profit organization is supported by donations from STCA members and the general public. The rescue fund is 501(c) 3 and your donation may be tax deductible.
To donate online, use the Donate Button to the left. Checks, made out to STCA Rescue Trust Fund, should be mailed to:Linda L Hill, RTF Treasurer117 Creekwalk LnHendersonville, NC 28792

We need a logo with a mark. The logo must convey what we do. The brand needs to be soft and caring. The main goal is to get people to sign up through the non-profits they support so it is win-win––they save money on their electric bill and they support their cause.
Please no "electric" elements - bolts of lightening, power outlets, etc. It really needs to be soft and articulate the "caring and giving" part of what we are doing. You can certainly create a visual element that ties the "power" and the "cause" together, just nothing too hard like a bolt of lightening, etc.
This is a brand new venture, so we do not have any existing materials. The logo will be the basis for that.

A maze of trailers and motorhomes lined the floor of the Sam Fulco Pavilion at the Kansas Coliseum on Wednesday (Jan. 6), signaling the start of the 21st Annual Wichita RV show.
Eight Kansas recreation vehicle dealers from as far away as Dodge City had models on display at the show, which is expected to draw more than 8,000 people by the time it ends Sunday, according to The Wichita Eagle.
Jeff Pritchard, the show's director, said the event caters to both first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade their RVs. He described it as a show for RV purists. No motorcycles or boats are on display.
The show is the first major event of the year for retailers and gives people a good chance to research and compare models without the pressure or hassle of being on a sales floor, said Stu Atherton, general manager of Wichita RV. Although some sales are made at the show, he said most of his business comes from customers who see something they like and come to his store weeks or months later.
And while the downturn in the economy may make affording an RV, which range in price from $14,000 for a trailer to more than $100,000 for a motor home, out of reach for some, salesman Bill Hawley said sales have held up well over the past year, a trend he expects to continue.
Hawley, who works for Hawleywood RV Ranch in Dodge City, said more people are opting for smaller, lighter vehicles, something that helps save on sticker cost and gas prices.
Jerry Galemore of Hutchinson was at the show looking for an RV smaller than his current model, but it wasn't for economic reasons.
"I need a shorter one because I got a bigger boat," he said. His current RV and boat setup is longer than is legally allowed on roads. "I'm way over length," he said.
Wichitans Dale and Pat Miller were also browsing the nearly 200 models on display Wednesday afternoon. Although they already own an RV, Dale Miller said they like seeing what's new.
Miller said he and his wife like taking their vehicle to lakes and on vacations around the country. Although traveling by RV seems expensive, he said it's cheaper and more convenient than staying in hotels and constantly eating at restaurants.
"It's your own. You can fix your meals, you can sit out at night and barbecue, you can sleep in your own bed and you have your clothes handy," he said.

FBI won't investigate death of Ryan O'Loughlin
Westerly — A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Rhode Island said Tuesday afternoon that the FBI has completed its review of the June 2011 death of Ryan O'Loughlin of Mystic and "there will be no further federal involvement in the matter at this time."
Jim Martin, of the U.S. Attorney's Office, said he could not discuss why the decision was made.
He said that as the FBI has explained previously, there had been an allegation that O'Loughlin's civil rights were violated by Westerly police when they arrested him outside a downtown bar and died 16 hours later. Smith said the review was done to determine whether or not the incident rose to the level of a violation of federal law.
Mark Dana, the lawyer for O'Loughlin's family, could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon. Dana has said O'Loughlin's family plans to file a lawsuit against Westerly police.
Westerly Town Manager Steven Hartford issued the following statement about the FBI's decision:
"We are certainly relieved to hear that our officers' actions that night have been cleared, once again, by a higher, independent authority with no ties to Westerly or our Police Force. The loss to the family is tragic and probably inconsolable but the officers actions were justified and in accordance with their training. There is simply no disputing that, as hard as it may be for many to accept."
In May, the FBI's Boston office said it received a request to look into the allegation and would review it to see if it had merit. An online petition drive that collected 3,300 signatures had called on the FBI and federal justice officials to investigate O'Loughlin's death.
The FBI stressed, as did Martin on Tuesday, that a review does not mean the FBI is conducting an investigation.
Rosanne Kotowski of Mystic, who helped organize the petition drive after reading about O'Loughlin's death, said Tuesday she was in disbelief over news of the FBI review.
"It's just awful. You feel for his family. How much more can they take. To me, it seems obvious what happened," she said.
She added that the government's refusal to release details of the reviews make O'Loughlin's supporters wonder even more about what happened.
O'Loughlin's death was classified by the Connecticut medical examiner as a homicide after he died at Pequot Health Center in Groton 16 hours after his arrest. He had suffered a dozen injuries, including a lacerated liver.
In February, the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office announced that a grand jury had decided not to indict the three officers who had arrested the 34-year-old Navy veteran. No explanation of the decision was given.
According to reports filed by Westerly police Officer Terence Malaghan and Sgt. David Turano, O'Loughlin swore at them as they questioned him in the early-morning hours of June 9 outside Perks & Corks. Another officer, Greg Barna, told O'Loughlin to put his hands behind his back because he was under arrest, but O'Loughlin refused and resisted being handcuffed, according to the reports.
Barna pepper-sprayed O'Loughlin, who, although "visibly affected" by the spray, continued to refuse to comply with officers' orders, the reports stated.
The reports also stated that Barna began to deliver strikes to O'Loughlin's legs before the officers took O'Loughlin to the ground and struggled with him for a few minutes before placing him in handcuffs.
Later that day, O'Loughlin appeared in Fourth Division District Court in Wakefield, R.I., on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He posted bond and returned home. Late that afternoon he began to vomit, and his wife, Lucia Ochalova, took him to the Pequot Health Center, where he died.
Details of the autopsy report released last fall by the Providence attorney representing the O'Loughlin family indicate that he had suffered injuries to his head, chest, abdomen and legs during the arrest, including the lacerated liver that caused him to bleed to death.

Ex-CIA officer sentenced in leak case
A former Central Intelligence Agency officer who admitted leaking an undercover colleague's name to a journalist was sentenced to 2½ years in prison Friday, becoming the first employee of the CIA sent to jail for releasing classified information to the media.
John Kiriakou, 48, received the sentence from Judge Leonie Brinkema during a morning hearing at federal court in Alexandria, Va. He entered a guilty plea last fall to a single felony count of violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act by disclosing the name of the officer in email exchanges in 2008 with Matthew Cole, a journalist then working on a book.
Story Continued Below
Kiriakou has described himself as a whistleblower, noting that he was the first current or former CIA officer to publicly talk about the use of waterboarding to interrogate terror suspects. However, at Friday's sentencing hearing, the judge emphatically rejected Kiriakou's claim to that title.
"This case is not a case about a whistleblower," Brinkema declared. She said that while she was imposing the 30-month sentence in accordance with the plea deal, her view was that a longer term would have been appropriate.
"I think 30 months, frankly, is way too light," she said. The judge said that if sentencing were left to her discretion she would have imposed a prison term in accordance with sentencing guidelines that called for a more than eight years confinement.
Brinkema said Kiriakou had "betrayed" the trust the CIA placed in him and put his colleagues at risk. She cited a letter she'd received from the CIA officer Kiriakou pled guilty to identifying.
"That agent's life has been changed forever," Brinkema said.
The letter is not public and the officer has not been named in public court papers, but the judge said the disclosure had a dramatic impact on his life. The judge said the officer had gone to such lengths to protect the secrecy of his affiliation with the CIA that several of his family members did not he worked there.
At a news conference after the sentencing, a lawyer advising Kiriakou, Jesselyn Radack, identified the officer as Thomas Fletcher. She said Fletcher's identity was well known to human rights activists years before Kiriakou's disclosures and has been published recently in a variety of places, including by Harper's Magazine.
During Friday's half-hour court session, the prosecution pointed to interviews Kiriakou gave to reporters in recent months as evidence that he was not truly contrite and was insisting that he did not know that the officer was undercover at the time he disclosed the name.
