Medical negligence ambulance chasers: now we have “wreck chasers”
By Julian Johnson on
Posted in Not So Serious
Came across an interesting, if disturbing story on NPR, the fab US free news and generally great info source, today.
Apparently police in Pittsburgh have had to crack down on competing tow truck companies, who have reached a point of brandishing weapons at the scene of motor accidents, when competing over lucrative tow fees (apparently…
A medical lawyer, the place I work… “low esteem and the factory”
By Julian Johnson on
Posted in Not So Serious
I was penning a seek.com.au ad for a junior lawyer that I am trying to recruit, as our workload demands some modest growth. As always, this process leads to a moment’s reflection on the workplace I provide and why on earth anyone would want to:
- work in medical negligence litigation on behalf of Plaintiff’s in

Dingle + Disaster
By Julian Johnson on
Posted in Contemporary Medicine, Not So Serious
I like many have watched with horror and fascination the waste that was the end of Penelope Dingle’s life. Amongst it all, Cameron Platell, by reputation a quiet and careful surgeon, stood out for me, when explaining on 720, his frustration that his advice was being ignored, as he assured Ms Dingle of the favourable…
A plug for the competition – alternatives time billing

By Julian Johnson on
The power of the blog! I get to write about the remarkable Ms Palin, who I suspect would get on like a house on fire with our own Pauline H.
Anyway, came across this amusing response post concerning Ms Palin’s recent ruminations on tort reform in the US, published (well self-published) via the ubiquitous…

By Julian Johnson on
Posted in Not So Serious
Some may see a blog as a crappy form of self-promotion for lawyers. I hope they’re in the minority. The beauty of this form of media is – you can let me know if you think so!
On the other hand, it is true that sometimes legal advertising leaves any semblance of good taste far behind.
Too Much Passion???
By Julian Johnson on
Posted in Not So Serious
It is impossible to avoid getting emotionally involved and passionate in the course of presenting a client’s case that you believe in. This is a good thing. Belief in a client’s case is critical if a lawyer is to present the case convincingly. Passion about the outcome leads to that extra bit of preparation or…
Quarrel the Big Bureaucracies!
By Julian Johnson on
Posted in Not So Serious
Tracking twitter (yes I like many am struggling to figure out what all the hype is about and why we won’t be able to live/work without it!), I came across a site ‘helping’ people to how to find the best med neg lawyer.
My guess, english isn’t the first or second language of the
