I recently started my own firm. I've only did lit up to this point, so having prelit clients is new to me. I'm putting systems in place. But I'd love the opp to chat with someone sometime soon about their prelit best practices. Or you could just let me know here if it's more convenient 😃

I can setup some time to chat with you after the first of the year, just send me a message, I don’t own the firm but I’m managing 4 attorneys doing pre-litigation and settled over $3.6M in fees, $10.8M in settlements this year

uplifting

275 cases up until a few months ago, now I’m managing 4 attorneys doing the same thing

I handle 250 prelit cases currently.

I do both, the bulk of my caseload by volume is prelit but my lit cases take more of my time/work

Anyone know a Connecticut or 2nd circuit case for this rule? I can’t find one to save my life. A defendant generally is liable for all harmful results that are the normal incidents of and within the increased risk caused by their negligent acts. If a defendant's negligence was a substantial factor in producing the plaintiff's injuries, the element of proximate cause has been satisfied and the defendant would not be relieved from liability for those injuries even though another force concurred..
