Author Information

<ul><li>Joshua D. Koskoff</li></ul>Joshua Koskoff represents the third generation of Koskoffs at Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder. Known for his dedication, compassion and creativity, Josh brings all of his cases a fresh and unique perspective. He believes strongly in the role of the law as an agent to improve his client's lives. His personal concern for the welfare of each of his clients has won their trust and devotion. Josh has won landmark verdicts in courtrooms throughout Connecticut on behalf of clients who have been permanently harmed or killed because of medical malpractice. His understanding of the significance of pleadings, motions and other forms covered in this book comes equally from experiencing their value in court as it does to the daily practice of law. In addition to trying complicated cases Josh has handled numerous other medical malpractice cases that have resulted in substantial settlements on behalf of his clients. Like the verdicts he has obtained, these settlements have helped his clients to have better and more satisfying lives. Josh has also participated in other cases that do not involve bad medical care. For example, he represented a nurse badly injured in a well-publicized med-evacuation crash and obtained a multi-million dollar settlement on her behalf. Josh also participated in Trial Lawyers Care and provided pro bono legal services to families that lost love ones on 9/11. Josh is the recipient of the Connecticut Law Tribune's new leader of the law award, editor of the first CT Personal Injury Forms book, and sits on the Board of Connecticut Legal Services, an organization dedicated to helping Connecticut's poorer citizens gain legal representation in civil cases. He is a frequent lecturer on matters related to trial practice, both locally and nationally. <ul><li>Sean K. McElligot</li></ul>Sean K.
