Prior the mediation and in preparation for it, Ms. Brown met with Dr. Daniel Lee, M.D., the orthopedic surgeon who had operated on Mr. Black’s left shoulder, to collect further evidence for the mediation on the issue of causation and damages. The XYZ firm also prepared numerous calculations regarding Mr. Black’s past and future wage losses, his billed amount of medical expenses and his future medical expenses for the mediation.
Ms. Brown herself itemized the billed amount from all of Mr. Black’s health care providers; she did not depend on the lien amount, and discovered that the billed amount was substantially higher than what had been paid by the lienholder, which appreciably increased the defendants’ exposure in this case related to general damages. (See Part 4 of 8.)
