Glickman Design Build Congratulates Regan Zambri Long

GlickmanDesign Build congratulates the law firm of Regan Zambri Long on their recent $6.4 million victory over Walmart in Montgomery County, MD. Glickman was appreciative of the opportunity to contribute as an expert witness helping to win almost $1 million for the client for home modifications that provide wheelchair accessibility. 

Russ Glickman

Russ Glickman, Founder of Glickman Design Build, has vast experience performing home accessibility expert witness work for attorneys and their clients dealing with personal injury claims. Russ is called upon regularly by some of the most prestigious law firms in the area. He can help prove costs to modify a home for someone who is wheelchair bound as a result of an injury, as well as serve as an expert witness for wheelchair accessible home assessments, modifications, conversions, and home redesigns potentially adding hundreds of thousands of dollars to expert witness cost reports. Russ can also assist with case reviews and depositions, ensure proper valuations and provide courtroom testimony for attorney’s clients, as he did in the Walmart case with Regan Zambri Long.

“Not only did Russ Glickman help us in winning almost $1,000,000 for accessible home modifications but his impact was felt on the entire case,” said President and Senior Partner, Patrick M. Regan. “He was certainly a tremendous asset to have on our side not only on this case, but others as well.”

What The Attorney & Their Clients Need To Know About Scars

Scars are a normal consequence of wound healing. Frequently, scars are often “an issue” when an attorney evaluates damages in a medical/legal form. Scars are commonly characterized by definition concerning the depths of the elevated tissue, pigment shape, and orientation.  Although scars often improve with time, the human body may yield abnormal scars. These subtypes are called “hypertrophic scars” or “keloids.” Hypertrophic scars may be raised and red, and distort adjacent body parts. Keloidal scars grow beyond the zone of injury. 

Multiple factors influence the ultimate quality of the resultant scar. Certainly, a history needs to be taken as to the mechanism of the trauma. An avulsion, where there is loss of tissue, would be a more problematic scar than a “simple” cut. Furthermore, the region of the body where the wound lies is quite important. Certain areas, such as the shoulder or sternum, frequently widen and become raised above the surrounding skin. This is possibly due to high skin tension in all directions in these anatomic sites. If a wound follows a relaxed skin line, a more optimal cosmetic or functional result will become evident.
