Running a successful New York no-fault insurance law practice while maintaining an informative legal blog presents unique challenges.

This brief reflection from attorney Jason Tenenbaum offers insight into the realities of balancing legal practice with educational content, particularly when handling challenging cases that require extensive time and attention.

Jason Tenenbaum’s Analysis:
Sounds like a post for a good case? Sorry. Even the pressures of life can keep me from posting. I will probably never abandon this blog. Makes me the last of the Mohicans? But, when I am on the road attending to rough trials, hearings and deposition schedules that do not let up, this blog seems to suffer a bit. Rest assured, I am not taking up less than intelligent appeals or trying an endless medical malpractice case (learned my lesson). Admittedly, I tried writing a no-fault practice treatise but I seem to always get diverted with practice related issues. That is where the narrative here ends…
Key Takeaway
The practice of law requires intense focus and dedication, particularly when handling complex litigation matters. While maintaining educational resources like blogs is important for the legal community, the immediate needs of clients and active cases must take priority. This balance between practice and education reflects the real-world challenges facing dedicated attorneys.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is New York's no-fault insurance system?
New York's no-fault insurance system requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This pays for medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident, up to policy limits. However, you can only sue for additional damages if you meet the 'serious injury' threshold.
