If a medical mistake is to happen, it has a higher chance of happening in the ER. One mistake could cost your life. There are times in just about everyone’s life where they need a trip to the ER. The thing is, once we get there, we have no control over who we get for a doctor and sometimes we do not even have a chance to give our consent in some instances.

Judge-directed Negotiations Show Promise to Expedite Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Posted on: Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

If New York’s new medical malpractice program does speed up these kinds of cases, it may be something other states should consider. It is no secret that medical malpractice lawsuits can be very long and drawn out, costly, and frustrating. This drawback has frustrated plaintiffs and attorneys alike, who have often been heard to say that something needs to be done about the long delay between the injury and the denouement of justice. There have been attempts over the years to shorten up the time lag, but nothing has really been successful. You may recall that one of the efforts [...]

Misdiagnosed Heart Attacks Can Lead to Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Posted on: Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

One of the most commonly misdiagnosed conditions is a heart attack, which is hardly a comfort to those who may be experiencing one. Heart attacks are as individual as the person experiencing them. No two people have the same symptoms, and in fact they may not have the classic signs that one is occurring. Take the case of a woman who went to the ER because her chest felt tight. The doctor ran many tests but could find anything wrong. He advised her to start taking aspirin and handed her a prescription for anxiety medication. Three days later she died [...]

Doctor Disciplinary Records Being Removed From Public Viewing Causes Patient Safety Concerns

Posted on: Friday, January 13th, 2012

Most people want to know if their doctor has been accused of medical malpractice or disciplined for it. We are, after all, put our health in our doctor’s hands. Recently there was a rather bitter controversy over whether or not a doctor’s disciplinary information should be available, and if so, how much information should be available. Those embroiled in the debate are the American Medical Association (AMA) and consumer rights groups and journalists. The reason the debate exploded was in response to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department taking disciplinary information out of their online database. Why was the [...]

Lawyers and Doctors Spar Over Medical Malpractice Concerns

Posted on: Friday, December 30th, 2011

The short answer is often no. The longer version is they do work together now and then to make an end justify the means. While it might seem odd to hear that a doctor and a lawyer could work together over issues like tort reform, it is happening more often on a larger scale. This can only be good for the eventual demise of tort reform. Many doctors see tort reform as necessary for a variety of reasons. They think it will reduce their medical malpractice insurance premiums. It won’t. And they think their liability should be limited. It should [...]

Insurance Companies Should Be Reined in from Charging Excessive Medical Malpractice Insurance Rates

Posted on: Friday, December 16th, 2011

Finally, someone is thinking outside the box about medical malpractice insurance. It is the companies that are gouging doctors, not the number of lawsuits filed. This is quite welcome news to medical malpractice lawyers – that regulating insurance rates is crucial to preventing medical malpractice insurance companies from taking thousands of dollars from doctors and allowing patients better access to health care.
