Refresh: Post-Judgment Executions: How to Secure Your Recovery After Judgment

This week, join us as we revisit our episode on Post-Judgment Executions as a refresher! Original Air Date: October 29,2021. You've fought the hard fight and prevailed, securing a judgment. The hard part is in the past, right? Not necessarily. Obtaining recovery against an uninsured or underinsured tortfeasor can be an uphill battle. In all areas of subrogation, thousands of dollars in unpaid judgments go untouched and sometimes expire. This does not have to be the case. Once you secure a money judgment, you have a right to obtain a recovery, via liens, garnishments, suspensions, and other means. In this week's installment, join Rebecca [https://www.rathbonegroup.com/our-people/rebecca-w-wright/] and Steve [https://www.rathbonegroup.com/our-people/steven-alsip/] as they help navigate the options to securing your hard earned recovery from a less than cooperative Defendant.

Refresh: Arbitration Decision: The End… Or Is It?

This week, join us as we revisit our episode on Arbitration and Post Decision Inquiries as a refresher! Original Air Date: October 15, 2021. When a liability decision cannot be determined between insurance companies, carries often turn to arbitration to pursue the case further in Arbitration Forums. Filing arbitration is a cost effective and timely way to make a final and binding decision and recuperate a speedy recovery. But is the award always the end? Not necessarily. On this week's installment, Rebecca [https://www.rathbonegroup.com/our-people/rebecca-w-wright/] sits down with arbitration attorney, Ana Zgela [https://www.rathbonegroup.com/our-people/ana-m-zgela/], to discuss what exactly occurs when there is an error made by the arbitrator or the panel. They discuss how an appeal can be submitted or when a complete refile is necessary, as well as when a post decision inquiry (PDI) is the right way to address errors found in the award.
