## Q70 key (Plain-Language Ruling Letter)

1. The letter must say Rosa won the collision-liability issue: the driver was negligent, caused the crash, and cannot blame Rosa for causing it. It must also say she has not yet won a final amount because surgery causation and all damages remain for the jury. Missed: Rosa either believes the case is over or is denied the ruling's real value.
2. It must answer that Rosa still must attend the September 10, 9:00 a.m. examination and give reasonable cooperation. Missed: nonattendance creates sanctions or evidence loss despite the liability win.
3. It must direct Rosa to sign the prior-treatment authorization immediately so records are produced by August 28. Missed: the records are excluded and the $120,000 surgery claim is weakened.
4. It must explain the $210,000 offer expires September 18 and that a final judgment of $210,000 or less after rejection exposes Rosa to $18,000 to $35,000 in post-offer taxable costs, not defense attorney fees. Missed: settlement is evaluated under the wrong downside.
5. It must tell Rosa not to delete, edit, hide, or alter recovery posts or related content and to send counsel the account information. Missed: an avoidable preservation violation is created.
6. It must explain that the September 12 surgeon report bears on the disputed surgery and that counsel and Rosa will evaluate the offer together on September 15. It must also identify the October 1 pretrial conference and October 19 trial. Missed: the client misses the decision sequence or court dates.
7. Any clear letter within 400 words that reaches those destinations, avoids a promised verdict, and uses ordinary language satisfies the task. Missed: polish substitutes for instructions Rosa can follow.
