FLORIDA PIP APPELLATE COURT HEARING SEPT 17, 2013

This Latest News is Directly from their Website.

SEPT 17th Marks the day once again that Attorneys Luke Lirot and Adam Levine will get to present their oral arguments before the 1st District Court of Appeals to fight for consumers and providers!!

SEPT 17th Hearing 
APPELLATE COURT JUST TODAY ISSUED the ORAL ARGUMENTS HEARING DATE for SEPT 17th!

What does this mean you ask? Here is Attorney Luke Lirot's reply.

Once we make our oral arguments, they take the matter under advisement and they can:
1. Affirm the lower court, in whole or in part, with or without a written opinion.

2. Reverse the lower court, in whole or in part, which would require a written opinion.

3. Ask for more briefing on any issue they think needs more discussion.

There is no time limit for a ruling, but they have indicated that they will administer this case in an "expedited" fashion, which they apparently are, based on the comparatively swift scheduling of this Oral Argument.

HAVING A PURPOSE

HAVING A PURPOSE

Dr. Alan Himmel

We all need to keep busy, have a purpose, have goals (big or small),  and have things to look forward to. I think that without goals or a maybe even a prospective finish line, life gets dull and depressing.

I see this a lot in the older crowd.  This is the scenario:  A guy has been working his whole life.  He is now retired.  Suddenly, what seemed like the best thing in the world (not having to work) now begins to affect the man's mental outlook.  Before retirement, he had something to do.  He had a responsibility. He may have been the provider for the family.   He had a function; a purpose.  Now, after retirement, the man's whole dynamic changes. When he was working, he had a specific time to wake up because he had to be at work at a certain time.  He may have had to report to a boss, or maybe had people depending on him as a boss or supervisor.  These are all things that are no long part of his life. The man who used to be busy and have a purpose is now finding that he has nothing to do.  He has no importance.  It's a shot to his ego.

And, I don't believe that the depressed mental attitude that this person feels is entirely a function of boredom, although having nothing to do also gives the man too much free time to think about things like his mortality and aging and other negative thoughts.  Having a purpose will occupy his thoughts, which will naturally displace these negative thoughts.

When you accomplish your goal, or if you find that you now have no purpose, you must find a new one.  Its okay to move on to new things in your life or even switch goals in the middle.  Just as long as you have a purpose at any given time.  In fact, you should expect to move from one purpose to the next, several times over the course of your life.  This is natural.

I love it when a lawyer comes out and says to get rid of PIP.  Sure, Mr. "For the People,"  lets do that. Lets throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Why should all the legit people and doctors be penalized for the dirtbags in this state?  This mentality makes no sense to me.  Mr. For the People would like to see PIP go away and instead make BI mandatory.  This sounds good as long as you are a PI lawyer.  As long as HIS livelihood isn't affected its good for HIM. Well I have a family to support and bills to pay.  I don't go on fancy vacations, drive a fancy car, or have my own airplane.  I am just trying to survive.  When I read this from this guy, it just infuriates me.  Maybe he should change his slogan to "For Me."


Crack down on the fraud.  Get the bad people out.   That's the solution.
