By Marc Zimet, Esq. of Jampol Zimet LLC
Retaliation claims were the most frequent claims filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for 2012.

White, which lowered the standard for what is considered retaliatory conduct.

Affordable Care Act Has Potential to Limit a Defendants Exposure for Future Medical Costs in New York Personal Injury Litigation
By John D. Morio, Esq. and Joseph A.H. McGovern, Esq. of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker LLP
Generally overlooked in the national debate surrounding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the effect the new law will have on personal injury litigation. If standard loss-allocation and mitigation rules are followed, the new law should have a significant impact on a personal injury plaintiff's ability to recover the cost of future medical care, thus limiting a defendant's exposure for such damages. Though no definitive judicial rulings have been issued on this topic, the new law has the potential to substantially lower the risk of exposure to defendants and their insurers.
