Serious injury requirement for NY cases, under Article 51 I think it is

NJ verbal threshold is similar but easier to breach

In conj w a51, 36:6A-8 requires you to prove significant disfigurement or scarring, fractures, perm inj, loss fetus, dismemberment, death

To come back to this question
In NY we file retainer agreements online
E court
How do you guys file it in Nj ?

I don't think they have that same e-filing in NJ, atleast not for retainer agreements. Unless something has changed. I used to work in NJ and we didn't have this when I was there.

Jump ship or stick it out? I’m a 31 y/o SFA with a Fortune 100 and am learning absolutely nothing. I have 9 years FP&A experience. All we get is busywork and no real opportunity to grow or take a more challenging role since they’re dying for SFAs. Do I stick it out for an eventual Manager role so I can be more marketable to a future employer, or try to pivot out of Finance to a new type of role and company now? Interested in more operations related work.

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)?

Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!

I give my cell phone to all clients routinely. However, there are always 1 to 2 clients who abuse this and it seems as soon as their cases are over I find a new one and it is making me rethink. I hate to do this because 98% do not abuse it and I like being connected to my people. Thoughts??

Hi everyone - I'm contemplating an offer from a large PI firm. I'm a little more than halfway through completing my 2nd year of practice, and I'm currently at a small firm with a low salary that's just no longer cutting it.

The offer from the large firm is for a pre-suit position, base salary of $100K - is this salary pretty standard for this kind of position?

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!!
