“Standing” - Legal Terms You Should Know When you hear the word "standing" in a legal context, it might seem abstract, but it’s one of the most important concepts in law. Standing determines whether you have the right to bring a lawsuit in court. Knowing what it means can help you understand your rights and when you can take legal action. Here are the key points about standing and why it matters: 📍 It’s About Being Personally Affected: You’ve got to be able to show you’ve been directly harmed— financially, physically, etc. The harm has to be specific to you, not just a general grievance. 📍 The Harm Must Be Traceable: Can you connect the harm you’ve experienced to the actions of the person or entity you’re suing? 📍 A Court Must Be Able to Fix It: You have standing if a court can provide a remedy, like financial compensation or an order to stop harmful behavior. Here’s how this might come up in your life: 📍 Property Disputes: If your neighbor builds on your property, you have standing because their actions directly impact your rights. 📍 Workplace Violations: If your employer violates your contract or withholds pay, you have standing to file a claim. 📍 Defective Products: If a faulty product causes you harm, you might have standing to join a lawsuit seeking compensation. Standing isn’t just some legal term that only judges and lawyers care about—it can help you know when you have the right to take legal action and what kind of harm qualifies. At Brady Law, we believe that empowering you with knowledge helps you make better decisions about your rights and options.

Legal Basics: What is “Standing” Today’s tip might sound a little unusual, but stick with me—it’s all about ‘standing.’ And no, I’m not talking about standing in line or standing up straight! In the legal world, standing is something you’ll need to bring a lawsuit to court. So, what is standing? It’s your ability to show that you have a stake in the outcome of a case. Basically, you need to prove that you’ve been harmed in some way and that the court can do something to fix it. Without standing, the court might say, ‘Thanks, but this isn’t your fight.’ Here’s a simple example: Let’s say your neighbor builds a fence that crosses onto your property. You’d have standing to take them to court because their actions affect your property. But if your friend across town doesn’t like the fence, they can’t sue—they don’t have standing because it doesn’t affect them personally. Here’s your tip: Before jumping into a legal battle, ask yourself, ‘Do I have standing?’ If you’re not sure, that’s where talking to an attorney can help. We can figure out if you’ve got the right to bring the case and guide you through the process. So, next time you’re watching Law & Order and you hear ‘standing,’ remember: it’s about having a strong legal foundation for your case. Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you next time! . . . #LegalTips #KnowYourRights #BradyLawCares #StandingInLaw #LegalEducation #JusticeForAll #CommunitySupport #UnderstandingTheLaw #TuesdayTips

I Can’t Thank You Enough “I really can’t thank these guys enough. Workmen’s Comp was trying to get $18,000 from me. These guys stood up for me and got that down drastically.” ~R.

How the Nurse Care Manager Can Affect the Outcome of Your Worker’s Comp Case When you file a workers' compensation claim, you might find yourself dealing with a Nurse Case Manager or NCM. The insurance company hires these professionals to coordinate medical care for injured workers. While they can play a helpful role, it’s important to understand who they work for, their priorities, and how they may affect your case. ⚕️What Do Nurse Case Managers Do? Coordinate Medical Care: They schedule doctor’s appointments, follow up on treatment plans, and oversee rehabilitation progress. Communicate with Stakeholders: NCMs act as intermediaries between you, your healthcare providers, and the insurance company. Monitor Your Recovery: They provide updates to the insurance company about your condition and progress. 🔑 Key Things to Remember They Work for the Insurance Company: While Nurse Case Managers facilitate care, their ultimate priority is the insurance company’s interests—not yours. Their goal is often to manage costs and return you to work as quickly as possible, which may not align with what’s best for your health. You Have Rights: You can decline to have the NCM attend your doctor’s appointments. You can insist on private consultations with your doctor to avoid undue influence on medical decisions. Stay Informed: Know what information the NCM is sharing with the insurance company. Keep your own records of appointments and treatment plans. Knowing who a Nurse Case Manager works for and their priorities really helps you stay in control of your care and recovery. On the surface, they can look like they are your advocate. But, their involvement might not benefit your long-term health or legal case. . . . . #WorkersCompensation #KnowYourRights #BradyLawCares #LegalEducation #NurseCaseManagers #InjuryLawyers #ProtectYourHealth #WorkersRights #CommunitySupport

Worker’s Comp Tip: Nurse Case Managers If you’ve been injured on the job and filed a workers' compensation claim, you might hear from a Nurse Case Manager or NCM. Today, I want to explain what they do and give you a quick tip to protect yourself if you’re filing a Worker’s Comp claim. The insurance company hires Nurse Case Managers to help coordinate your medical care. They’ll schedule appointments, check on your treatment progress, and communicate with your healthcare providers. While that might sound helpful, remember this: they work for the insurance company rather than for you. In our most recent blog, we go into more depth about the role nurse case managers play in your compensation.

Constitutional Law: Understanding Separation of Powers On Wednesdays, we share light education on basic legal principles because we believe the more you know about how things work, the better off you are. Today, we begin a series on Constitutional Law. While that’s not our firm’s focus, we handle personal injury and worker's compensation cases; these constitutional laws underpin all other aspects of our work. It’s worth your time to follow this series. The U.S. Constitution divides government responsibilities into three distinct branches: ⚖️ The Three Branches of Government 1. Legislative Branch: Congress (House of Representatives and Senate). They make the laws. They decide on policies ranging from taxes to healthcare to education. 2. Executive Branch: Who they are: The President, Vice President, and federal agencies. They enforce the laws. This includes everything from signing bills into law to ensuring statutes are carried out effectively. 3. Judicial Branch: Who they are: The Supreme Court and other federal courts. They interpret the laws created by the Legislative branch. They decide if laws align with the Constitution and resolve disputes. 🌟Why Does Separation of Powers Matter? The founding fathers created a system that makes sure no single branch becomes too powerful. Each branch has specific powers and checks on the others, creating a balance that protects our freedoms. How does this play out in real life? Congress can pass a law, but the President can veto it. The Supreme Court can strike down a law or executive order if it violates the Constitution. 👀How It Affects You The separation of powers impacts how we live every day. From laws that regulate your workplace to decisions about your healthcare, this balance means the government operates fairly and within its limits. At Brady Law, we believe understanding these principles empowers individuals to know how to protect their rights.

Constitutional Law: What is the Separation of Powers? Today, I want to talk about something that isn’t part of the cases we handle every day but is at the core of everything we do — Constitutional Law. Constitutional Law is the foundation of our legal system. It explicitly spells out how our government operates and our rights as citizens of this country. Even though my firm focuses on personal injury and workers’ compensation cases, understanding these principles helps me fight for fairness and justice for our clients. One of the most important ideas in Constitutional Law is the separation of powers. This means that our government is divided into three branches, each with a different job to do. 📌 Congress, the legislative branch, makes the laws. 📌 The president, federal agencies, and the executive branch enforce those laws. 📌 And the courts, the judicial branch, interpret the laws to make sure they follow the Constitution. Why does this matter? Because it keeps one part of our government from becoming too powerful. For example, if Congress passes a law, the President can veto it. If a law doesn’t align with the Constitution, the Supreme Court can strike it down. This system of checks and balances protects our freedoms. Understanding Constitutional Law isn’t just for lawyers—it’s for everyone. It’s what makes our democracy work and protects the rights we enjoy every day. Stick with us this week as we dig deeper into this subject and why it matters to you. Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you next time with more legal tips. . . . . #ConstitutionalLaw #SeparationOfPowers #BradyLawCares #LegalEducation #JusticeForAll #KnowYourRights #RuleOfLaw #CivicEngagement #LegalSupport
